• 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.

    Test rode the semi auto and that's what I want with cruise control. Even with the whole learning curve thing, the fun factor meter pegged. I even have the exact farkles planned out. Next, sell the VMax and save some $.

    Going to the dealer today door for eyeball and test rides. I will post up my take. On another note, what a pleasure to find a forum that is friendly and helpful to the new guy. A lot of the mc forums are clannish to the extent that a rookie is reluctant to ask questions for fear of being...

    Thanks for the quick and insightful responses. Sounds like a semi auto may be in my future.. Hey JKRBBT, we also have Aussies, a 12 yr. old blue Merle female and a six year old black and white male.

    I searched on these subjects without finding exactly what I was looking for, so here goes! Any facts on the mpg difference if any between the manual and semi auto trans? Also, any opinions on which one to get? My current ride is an 04 VMax and I have 40 + years experience all on conventional...
