• 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.

    Wow

    Lew "Should we put solar panels on every new roof--- sure ( as the actual roofing material.)" Gotta agree with that statement. Local mall put up a new carpark and lo and behold the entire roof is solar panels. What a great piece of design and engineering. The roof only needs to protect from...

    Blathering on about VSS and rotations per mile

    Excellent thanks for the extra info. As I mentioned on the trip home it felt really good so will see how it goes in some of the tighter stuff. So far mostly straight stuff with the border restrictions as my favourite back roads are a no go other than for locals.

    Blathering on about VSS and rotations per mile

    Thanks Mike and Steve. Just me I guess. Checked yesterday with the new tpms and it indicates15/16 front and 18 rear so will put a pound or 2 in the fronts and see how I go.

    Blathering on about VSS and rotations per mile

    Since we are blathering on...... When I had the new rear tire fitted and after resetting the pressure I took it for a short run. The rear felt somewhat squishy. Only a short run so I left it at that as I knew the fronts would be in within the week. Hankooks all round by the way K425 front, K435...

    New design Kenda front tires

    I have dealt with our local tyre shop for years and spent thousands on tires. When I asked about tires for the Spyder they hesitated......I then repeated the mantra from here "you can only put car tires on it as it is J bead, you can't fit a motorcycle tire to it legally". They still didn't...

    Can I use Mobil1 10W/40 Synthetic oil (Not MC) in my Spyder?

    Can I use Mobil1 10W/40 Synthetic oil (Not MC) in my Spyder?

    That is what we use in the Spyder and my son's XVS however 10w40. Went with 10 due to the warmer (and less cold) climate up here. That may change if I spend the winter in Toowoomba rather than on the coast.

    Big Harley News

    Seems an odd strategy to me. Down here the expensive marques like Porsche, BMW, Audi etc. have all introduced cheaper models to our market as a way to introduce newbies to the brand and build brand loyalty. Can am have done this too with the Ryker. No way I could handle a full dress tourer these...

    2016 ST S questions

    Posted this on your other thread. Will leave it for others to chime in as I don't think we got the 2016 V twins out here, at least I never saw any for sale when I was looking. You will know the heat mitigation stuff is on there from the factory. Also the ST-S has cruise whereas the standard ST...

    Looking to buy a 2013 St limited

    Yay!!! Go Peter! When I looked at 2013s I always checked to see if they had the heat alleviation panels and generally discounted them if not. I ended up with a 2014 which had the enhancements and yes as Peter mentions got all the upgrades including the Brembo's, battery in the frunk, stiffer...

    Look at my rear tire! Crazy!

    Doesn't that just prove a number of comments I have seen about Kenda quality control. If you are very lucky you might get a good one, otherwise you are with the rest of us.
