• 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.

    Thanks Peter! For some, like us, quiting is not an option. My wife was chatting with me the other day. Explaining how far I have come, what the doctors and professionals had warned her about my care, and that we should try and accept the fact I may never speak, walk or be able to care for...

    Looks like we lost a rider to a drunk driver......

    Where can I get a Mono seat cowl for RSS?

    There are a couple on eBay, but the prices are insane. You may try posting on the "for sale by owner" forum, with the heading, "WTB(wanted to buy) GS/RS Seat Cowl", hopefully someone has one collecting dust that you can buy for a reasonable price. I was lucky, got mine cheap and I think it looks...

    Plastic plate under bike

    I believe you mean the skid plate. A search on line may help. See if you can find the image, then perhaps other RT owners can point you in the right direction. This site is loaded with awesome folks that love to help other ryders. Good luck!

    ATGATT on Spyder = PTGATT?

    I made a deal with my wife(celebrated 28 years May 16) that I would wear ATGATT. Partly because I do not trust others for my well-being, and as awesome as my GS is, it's not nimble as two wheels, but after nearly taking a dirt nap in 2001, non riding related, I kinda wanna increase the odds on...
