• 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.

    Here is my initial observations after taking a new 2014 RT SE6 on a test ride this morning. Ergonomics:The comfort seat puts the driver a few inches back in the saddle yet still offers more than adequate room for a good sized passenger. I found the comfort seat to be somewhat "cushier" than the...
