• 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.

    Question for someone smarter then me

    Fooling with your exhaust The mathematics of exhaust systems is extremely complex. It involves Calculus and Imaginary Numbers:lecturef_smilie:. If you remove your muffler without compensating properly, you will actually lose power.

    Your top speed on Spyder?

    Need for Speed Doc hit 118 in the quarter-mile at the Spyderfest Drags. He has the paperwork to prove it. He got much faster in Bonneville. Of course he was Turbocharged. I was able to hit 120 on a flat deserted road in Nevada south of Ely. I think I had a bit of a tail wind.

    Question about coolant

    Coolant After the BRP Event last year in Durango, CO, I rode up to Montana with a couple of friends. We planned to go into Alberta and BC. The weather was HOT (110 deg) but we chugged right along. After I got up into Northern MT, my RT began losing power. I could only get to 45mph but the Limp...

    What's your Spyder's Top Speed?

    Speed I was out in Bonneville with SethO when he made his run. I also had the opportunity to run mine out on one of Nevada's roads. I got about to 120mph (via the speedometer). I had a bit of a tailwind. One easy (lawful) way to estimate your theoretical top speed is to note your RPMs and...

    Dave & Teds Most Excellent Adventures 2013

    Nerve Test I have always been of the opinion that we need to take an ACTIVE role in our own medical care. If we leave it 100% up to the doctor, we are likely to get f%#ked. Hope everything turns out OK and that you figure out what's going on.
