• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Ryder mirror opinions!!!

    Bar end mirrors Has anyone tried Bar end mirrors.and if yes, what was the verdict on them. I have never considered them before because they increase the width of a motorbike. The width of the Spyder blows that argument out of the way. Bob

    Where is it?

    This might seem a stupid question, but could someone please tell me, where the heck is the horn situated. I spent the best part of an hour today looking for the horn and the switched power plug.

    Crush washer & O ring sizes for oil change

    I have always annealed the copper washers on other bikes I've had (heat copper to a red heat and quench in cold water). This softens the copper again, as copper will work and age harden, so may not seat properly when re used. Bob
