• 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.

    How many miles can you ride when gas light comes on RT model?

    About my result... I do about this good on 2 lane back roads but on the interstate I am lucky to get 30mpg....I usually run around 80 mph so I get around 28 mpg.... I am amazed by some of the gas mileage numbers posted here, especially ones in the 40's, mine wouldn't get in the 40's at 50 mph...

    Less than a gallon left..... When my light came on I was pulling into a gas station...It held over 6 gallons....My understanding is the tank holds 7.1 total.... So I figure it had about a gallon or less left, which means to me I have somewhere around 25 to 30 miles and I am walking....Assuming...
