• 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.

    Helmet on, Earplugs in at the Gas Station

    And... somebody strikes up a conversation while I'm putting gas in the tank. I always try to be nice and answer questions, but last time it was difficult. I was freezing, and this guy was asking me how much he'd have to put down on a new Ryker. Ummm... can't help you there. :dontknow: Plus...

    Spyders passing HDs

    💔It was you wasn't it? You're the first person EVER who didn't wave at me first.

    You're right, Pete. What a fantastic thread this is! :chat:

    Spyders passing HDs

    I've encountered more sport bike riders that don't wave than HD. Maybe it's their wrist position making it awkward. My last 2 bikes were HD, and I liked them a lot. I switched to a Ryker because I was tired of oil leaks :). I hate rev bombing. I never did it even when I could.

    Pet Peeve - Model Specific Forums

    I agree, it's good to be very clear with your question and provide details. I'm going to start using the "what's new" capability more. That's easier than looking for this thread in the Forum Support and Testing site :)

    Pet Peeve - Model Specific Forums

    Maybe I offended somebody, but I'm puzzled as to why the thread was dumped here. I thought "Off Topic" was safe for anything but politics. I just expressed surprise that moderators would actually change content of posts. I could see them deleting abusive, spam, or profane ones, but whatever...

    Pet Peeve - Model Specific Forums

    Maybe you're right, but it just makes me envious. :mad: I didn't want to take out a loan nor wait until I saved enough for one of the big boys, so the Ryker was my only choice :shemademe_smilie: :cheers:

    Pet Peeve - Model Specific Forums

    I have my machine in the signature and always watch what forum I'm in. That being said, I should probably put a photo of my Ryker in the profile. Pete, I didn't know about the "What's New" feature, so I see your point. I think everybody means well, and I'm certainly not one of these guys that...

    Pet Peeve - Model Specific Forums

    I find it annoying when somebody posts a model-specific question in the proper forum and people owning other equipment start talking about their model. I know there are some commonalities, but why not let others owning the matching model answer? For example, I'll be in my Ryker forum on a...

    RIP Sidney Poitier

    I had been watching his movies lately and was saddened to hear of his passing. Most of the movies I've seen thus far have been gems.

    anyone around the St Tammany area?

    Whew, these threads are low activity. Goat, let me know when your Rally comes in. I'm in your area.

    Ryker 900 exhausts - which one do you think is the quietest?

    Now that's funny. :riding: Exhaust fiddling is tempting, but I promised myself I would only go so far with meddling on this new vehicle purchase. I've replaced the headlights and added some needed accessories. I might replace the plastic sway bar links with Ron's at some point and upgrade...

    First oil change

    Cool. It's definitely winter in PA. Twenty degrees? That's hardcore. I think my record was upper 30s, and that was bad enough. This was on a Sportster, and I was warming my hands on the engine at stoplights.

    Dealer Gouging on 2022 Ryker models

    Right. I got burned by that many years ago in my 20s. I saw it later and had them redo the contract and take it off. I think it was adding $7 to my payment or something. These days, you have to decline their requests to add paint and various other extended warranties at time of sale. They...

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    I changed my barely-used oil because it was a year old :banghead:

    Dealer Gouging on 2022 Ryker models

    I agree. Dealers adding arbitrary fees because they're having a bad year reminds me of prohibiting a credit card unless you spend a certain amount, "18% gratuity automatically added for parties over 8 people", and finance people adding payment protection (insurance) to your car note without...

    First oil change

    I changed my oil today at 1862 miles, because it was over a year old. No, I didn't ride all that much over the past year. I had some setbacks and have no riding friends in the silly area I live in. Plus, my company has kept us out of the office going on 2 years, so I don't even have a...

    First oil change

    The statement on this page is confusing: "This is common practice in the recreational vehicle and motorcycle industry where the smaller engines produce high power levels, as well as being designed and manufactured to exacting standards. It is typically recommended to perform an oil and filter...
