• 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.

    Are There Still People Out There Who Don't Think Helmets Are Necessary?

    Good point. I think that you are condoning that if you are will to pay more for insurance, you can choose not to wear a lid! Perhaps helmet and no helmet pool of funds. If you choose to live in the City, you have higher premiums :). Like the "I smoke too" statement. That is OK, but not next to...

    acknowledging other oncoming bikers

    No more, no less than any other biker. I'd say 90% of all bikers give the wave back!

    Are There Still People Out There Who Don't Think Helmets Are Necessary?

    If it were a PERSONAL choice, I MIGHT agree The way I see it, it isn't a personal choice! YOU pay insurance and I pay insurance. It is a POOL of funds that is collected to pay for injuries. YOU have an accident with no helmet and have a severe Head Injury. So EVERYONE'S insurance goes up to...

    New Spyder RTS

    Welcome SpYder Lover! Good choice! Something about the "Blues" that is in you blood, or not. Now is the Delta Blue's? or the AWESOME Quantum Blue's From the "Deep South" of Canada, anyway.

    Extended Warranty second thoughts?

    My thought is if you pay for an extended warranty and never use it you should be entitled to some of the money back. Like snow removal contracts - Ask if you should get money back if it doesn't snow very much and the contractor has every right to ask "would you pay more if it snows a lot?" That...

    Gas Price Survey

    I thought it would have been more up there in Alaska! Here in Toronto the Price of Premium is $1.43 a litre. That is $5.43 for a US gallon! There is a bigger difference for Premium and Regular here so if we put Regular into the tank it is "only" $4.81 a Gallon (that is 62¢ a gallon more for...

    Hey VT Rider, I am still planning on attending. My GPS can't seem to locate the Black Bear Restaurant in Pottersville, NY so if you could give me an address I should be able to make my way there. The BBQ sounds great as well, would love to go. (an address would be great, in case I get lost along...

    tire pressure guage

    Just a thought, BUT I think your units are set to KPA instead of PSI. just press the square button to cycle back to PSI (PSI>Bar>KPA)

    Rear Speaker Volume Adjustment

    Thank you Steve. I thought that was the case, but wanted to make sure. I see the front / rear fade on the audio and will just adjust it there. Looks like my passenger can chane my station, but not her volume LOL. I am mostly rYding one up, so no biggie at all. Appreciate the quick reply

    FINALLY - She's HOME and she's BEAUTIFUL

    There seemed to be a delay because it was Quantum Blue. The RT-S was available in the "new" colours first to get them on the showroom floor. I could have had delivery of Viper Red about four months earlier. The Bronze LTD was on the showroom floor (No White ones). So I have my RT-S with 660...

    Gas milage

    :agree: I think bikeguy says it all. Stay at the optimum power band and the engine will run most efficiently. Very true about the ethanol as well. The more carbons on the chain, the hotter the flame :)

    Rear Speaker Volume Adjustment

    This is such a great site for answers, I thought I throw a question out there. The owners manual is a bit vague. The passenger controls for the radio work for changing stations/tracks, but not the volume (rear or otherwise). The manual "sort of" may imply that it is just for headset. Can anyone...

    FINALLY - She's HOME and she's BEAUTIFUL

    Well, so far the only picture is the PRofile and Avatar. I'll be postinga couple once I have a little pinstriping done. As for the rYde difference..... It sure feels different. Mostly in the corners where the upright seating postion changes my "Lean" into the corner. Over all the main difference...

    Dirt Roads

    Last summer I rode a "Hiway" in Saskatchewan. The entire road was gravel, fairly loose. It was 35 km before I could take an exit so my RS was slippin' and sliding on the loose stone at about 80 km hour (50mph). The nanny kept sensing a "slip" and eventually I had to stop at the side of the road...

    Higher seat height?

    I am not sure how much more height you need Steve. I have a left leg prosthetic and because of the socket lip, I use an Airhawk Seat cushion. They are pricey (~$200), but work great, for me anyway. It is recomended to put the least amount of air into them, adjusting for comfort. If you add...

    FINALLY - She's HOME and she's BEAUTIFUL

    Well, it seemed like it was a L-O-N-G time coming. I ordered my "Baby Blue" in October and I brought her home yesterday. What a dream machine. I left my '08 RS at the dealership and rode my new baby home...... I have to say what a nice feeling. Here's to many new kilometers (or miles, when I...
