• 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.

    noticed their exhaust being red

    Like I said above, I have my Rally mostly undressed while I work on it. BUT, yesterday I was thinking about your discovery and decided to take a closer look at my exhaust. Remember, I only have a few hundred miles on mine right now, but I did notice the very end, at the opening is turning red...

    Problem with Plasti Dip

    Just an update on the Plasti Dip, if anyone is interested: For the second time, I stripped the hood and decided this time to just paint two areas on it. I taped it all off with Frog tape and started with my base coats (4 black coats). Then I used gold metalizer lightly to give it a metal flake...

    noticed their exhaust being red

    Same here. I'll let you know if mine turns red when I get some miles on it. Right now, it is kind of in pieces while I do some cosmetics to it. Are you using premium or regular? I'll do the same and see if mine turns red. I only use Shell because I get a discount and because it is the most...

    Tail Light?

    I just stay far enough ahead of everyone else so that I don't have to worry about IF they can see me or not.....:ohyea::yikes::riding:

    noticed their exhaust being red

    I am not familiar with the workings of these engines, but on an auto it would possibly mean a coolant leak into the cylinder....such as a blown head gasket.

    Tail Light?

    I know a guy in Panama city, Panama that owns a Harley Road King that he keeps adding more and more rear lights to it. It resembles a Christmas tree, but you can see him at night....:yikes::2thumbs:

    Age of riders buying a Ryker

    I am 69 and I recently purchased a Rally. I've been riding two wheelers all over the world, after work and on the weekends. The I returned to the States and retired. I still have my Harley, but it's on the market. Having trouble with my clutch hand and in need of two operations in that hand...

    Problem with Plasti Dip

    Thanks, I'll check into it. I am looking more at a gloss contrast to all the matte. I don't know how it will hold up to all this heat and sun in Flordia, but I might give it a try if the price is right. I've already wasted enough on the Plasti Dip. Never expected it to be this bad. I have...

    Problem with Plasti Dip

    Good question. I am doing this in my driveway, since my garage is even hotter and also to cluttered to paint in. The photos? They did not come out good enough to see anything. I am using a flip phone, for one thing. I have other photos where it dried with a milky appearance, but with the...

    Problem with Plasti Dip

    Looks expensive also. That is something to investigate though. I almost think it would be better to just paint the plastic and if I didn't like it, then buy another panel to replace the ones I don't like. Thanks for the idea though. I am not sure how the vinyl wrap would handle the sun and...

    Problem with Plasti Dip

    I thought about the vinyl wrap but have seen how large decals can be such a pain to get all the bubbles out, that I figured that my clumsy handling would probably be a disaster. I may try the vinyl wrap. I've seen some really nice vinyl jobs out there, and I am kind of wondering if it is a job...

    Ryker mpg FYI

    Did anyone buy the Ryker for the gas mileage? If so, then a three wheel scooter gets better mileage. :yes: Thanks for the results. The way I drive, I probably would be lucky to get 25mpg...:sour:

    Ryker Rally Questions

    I am not sure if there is much room in the "frunk" for insulation, but you could try some of the thin insulation on a roll that is made with a thin bubble wrap, sandwiched between two aluminum foil sheets. That would take up less space than other insulation. I am not sure how much room there is...

    Problem with Plasti Dip

    Well, I have been looking at this for some time and it seemed like a good idea at the time of my decision. It IS a good question that you brought up. If you go on YouTube, you will see whole cars, wheels, etc. done in Plasti Dip, and it has a reputation of being durable and lasting years. I...

    Problem with Plasti Dip

    So, yesterday I had finally gotten several layers of plasti dip on the panels I wanted to do, as well as the metalizer. It looked real good except of course, it was not yet glossy. Remember, I had to peel off the hood and the tail light cover yesterday because it was either cloudy or peeling...

    Problem with Plasti Dip

    OK, so I answered my own question regarding the cloudy Clear coat. Apparently, that is common when it is very humid. Like it never gets humid in Florida. So, since I do not see any NON humid days in the future, I guess I won't use the clear plasti dip. I hope that doesn't mean that the...

    Problem with Plasti Dip

    So, I am using plasti dip on my Rally to see if I want to bling it up a bit. If I don't like it on a certain panel, I can just peel it off. So, today I was using some CLEAR Plasti Dip and it started roughing up in spots, that looked like some lint or dust had gotten into it. Believe me, it...

    My latest mods

    Ok, as much as I really like my Ryker Rally, I am VERY disappointed today. Not to bad mouth it but maybe someone will read this and realize a flaw that MUST be taken care of. I have been taking panels off in prep of painting and it is driving me crazy. On the Rally, we have little quarter...

    Ryker Ryders, where are you????

    I consistently see three wheelers in The Villages, FL since many of us seniors feel safer traveling with our honeys on three instead of balancing her life on two with aged legs. I live across the street from a Spyder and see it every day. I bought the Ryker because it reminds me more of the...
