• 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.

    Helmets

    LAZER MONACO!! I've posted before about this great helmet and after two years of use it's still the best helmet I've worn. I tried almost all of the top brands and as I type I have a Schuberth S2 sitting unused! I've tried the C3 and I have to say that I found it to be heavy and slightly...

    Was I hyrdoplaning ?????

    Brown shorts, Bob?? That and the rest!! The worst example of this I ever experienced was riding out of Plymouth immediately after a thunder shower. I noticed that the front of the bike ( My old Norton ) felt light and unresponsive. I happened to look down at the front wheel and it was slowly...

    R.I.P. Gene Wilder

    There's a guy who will be sorely missed, an actor who mastered his art and entertained millions. Here's an article from the UK press: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3764037/Gene-Wilder-dead-age-83-Legendary-actor-played-Willy-Wonka-suffered-non-Hodgkin-s-lymphoma.html

    Cool tent!!

    Apparently it's an official VW endorsed product. I wonder if they had to "fix" the emissions test on it??:roflblack:

    Cool tent!!

    Whilst many in the US have great camper vans, there are many wannabes in the UK! I think that this is quite cool!

    Limited access roads?? Motorways are I suppose, limited, as no pedestrians, cyclists, horse riders, learners or motorcycles under 50cc are allowed. I thought it was because if you get caught doing a burn out away from the lights you are likely to lose your license....so they gave us higher...

    Wolo horn installed on F3 Limited -At Last

    See, we (The English) had a reason for sending your great x4 grandfather out there! The collective gene pool wasn't really too deep and we realised that it would be the survival of the smartest and fittest out there in the colonies and, by jove, we were right! Congratulations on your...

    Whistling

    Yep I get exactly the same! I put it down to the belt "singing". Starts at 42 and goes and 45mph. (Remember that the UK and Aussie/NZ F3s have higher gearing than the US models so the speeds at which this occurs may be a bit different.) I ignore it.

    Front tire question

    Thanks for explaining that to me, Mike. Some of the Aussies must be "well heeled", plus they don't seem to get much rain over there! Whatever.....it's way too expensive for me anyway but I brought it to the boards attention as it's nice to know just what is available out there. I do like the...

    Install an imobiliser/alarm on F3-T

    I would suggest that whoever you spoke to at BikeSure is totally incorrect! I also have a Citroen and like most modern vehicles it has an OEM immobiliser. It is also insured with the Adrian Flux/BikeSure group. The Immobiliser on that isn't Thatcham approved either! I might suggest that you...

    Front tire question

    Ooooh....another tire thread!! OK! Just to hark back to the rear tire for a moment....is this available in the US as a couple of the Aussies are considering it as an alternative......I can get it in the UK for a price. :yikes:

    Install an imobiliser/alarm on F3-T

    Alan, your new bike has an OEM immobiliser in as much as the engine cannot be started without the correct ignition key. You do not need an after-market immobiliser to satisfy UK insurance companies requirements. I have insured both of my Spyders with Bike Sure and they're happy with that. The...

    Some English Intellectual input for Bob!

    Vegemite is an Australian thing! The original and best is Marmite!! Although to be fair I can buy either in the local supermarket! Both are a by-product of the beer brewing industry.

    YE OLDE MERRIE ENGLANDE!!

    More of Ightham.... Bus stop shelter, the seat was presented in 1953 for Queen Elizabeth's Coronation. The local pub....great bacon sandwiches! (Other food may also be available!) with the local shop next door, now sadly closed.

    YE OLDE MERRIE ENGLANDE!!

    2016 and despite all of the NASTY things ....... ......that have happened to me this year, after showing Bob Denman some shots of curiously named British streets I decided to hop on the F3 and visit Ightham, a village near to me, to take pics for all of you! so I'll have to start with "Busty...
