• 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.

    Royal Enfield Motorcycle Reproductions

    Sidecar They are cool. You could always get one with a sidecar. One thing these are 90% old school, you will enjoy it more if you also like to twist a wrench. Good news they are simple machines that can be worked on in the shade of a tree. RAL

    Police RT

    Seems like a clever engineer could come up with a usable compromise between the stock Spyder 106 and the Aprilla 150ish Engines. May be a moot point as the article seems to indicate they may be using it more as a PR tool the a service bike. RAL

    Police RT

    Maybe they put a few more ponys in The engine in the Crown Vic that Ford sales to the law has a bit more juice than the one they put in the family sedan. Maybe the Rotex in this one is more like the version the Aprila uses? RAL

    600 mile service

    I changed my oil at 80 miles and I was glad I did. The filter looked like pewter and the magnetic plug was furry. I then took my spyder in for its 600mile service at about 700 miles. How much life did that add to the engine...can't say. I know it didn't hurt. Me I sure would not wait to 1000...

    Headlights will not adjust

    As the header says. My lights are so low that even on high beam they are all but worthless. If it was not for my fog lights I would be SOL. Is there some trick? They do not adjust up or down with the proper screwdriver in the hole. I can feel the adjustment turning but it does nada to the...

    Noisy Brake Question....

    Ride man ride. I find that lack of use is pretty hard on a bike. My brakes were squealing like the devil the other day after not being used much for a couple weeks. After a couple miles with a few stops the squeal was gone. I would take it for a short ride around the neiborhood and see if it...

    Motorcycle Driver License Question for Interstate

    In Florida I was required to get a sidecar/trike indorsment when I got my Ural. So off I went grumbling all the way there. It was well worth the time and money. Even if your state does not require it is a good investment. The thing about stuff you do not know is you do not know what you don't...

    Toyota Now Considering Steering Recall

    I know there are many good hard working union members and I am sorry as to my post not pointing that out. As to who is most responsible..I am sure there is enough feeding at both ends of the trough to cause great harm. I find it interesting that the US Toyota worker actually makes more than the...
