• 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.

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    Took a roundabout route to a casino today, enjoying the countryside roads. Left the casino several hours later about $250 on the positive, came home at night with a bit of rain. Put about 100 miles total on the Ryker. Great day!

    Freight and Handling charges!

    There is hope for better than this! I just bought a brand new 2021 Rally a few weeks ago. At my dealership-- $0 for freight, $0 for assembly/prep. Got it for about $500 under MSRP.

    The Ryker trip-report!

    So today I took my Ryker to work for the first time. (Day 3 of owning this thing). 20 minute drive, mostly two lane, 55 mph road. Checked the weather-- high of 55, 20% of rain later in the day. Looked at the radar-- rain's not going to hit me! Should be fine, right? heh. Drive to work was...

    What Did You Do To Your RYKER Today?

    What did I do with my Ryker today? I bought it-- first bike I've ever owned. Drove it 77 miles home from the dealership in gorgeous 55-degree sunny skies. All 2 lane, country rodes (until the last few miles). Beautiful and relaxing. So much fun-- giddy like a kid at Christmas. Also, I do...

    Your 2021 Ryker Rally 'Out the Door' prices? Indiana USA

    I live in northern IN, near South Bend, and the closest dealer for me was actually LeadersRPM in Kalamazoo, MI. I pick up my Rally in two days, and I got it for $12001 (no accessories, all in including taxes, no fees except $55 for financing). It was about $500 below MSRP. They were very...

    Helmet question from a new rider.

    Well just got home... going to wear my new helmet for the evening. The salespeople at Cycle Gear were very helpful, and I ended up getting a Sedici full-faced helmet for $220. My max budget was $300. It's lighter than the one I was trying to get from Amazon which is good. The greatest help...

    Helmet question from a new rider.

    Ok here's an update. The latest helmet came from Amazon came, and it doesn't seem to fit either. Still too small. It seems to fit everywhere on the head except at my upper jaw on both sides. At my upper jaw, it pushes in so far, I have to continually make an effort to not bite my cheeks that...

    Helmet question from a new rider.

    I really appreciate all of your thoughtful responses! I didn't even know Cycle Gear existed, so I learned that today-- unfortunately the nearest one is 77 miles away. I returned the helmet in question and ordered the next size up. If it arrives on time (Thursday) and if it fits, I'm good to...

    Helmet question from a new rider.

    I appreciate all of your responses! I ordered just one size larger. It's my last shot-- I won't have a chance to get another if this one doesn't fit. I'll have to buy one at the dealership and hope. I don't have a good idea of the *shape* of my head. Based on an earlier post, I guess it's...

    Helmet question from a new rider.

    So here is the thing-- it wasn't just tight (unless it is supposed to feel this way)... it was actually so tight around my jaw that it was restricting my mouth movement, and after about 15 minutes I had some pain.

    Helmet question from a new rider.

    Thank you! This is what I needed to hear. It definitely was "noticed." I'm returning it and trying the next size up. It was too tight.

    Helmet question from a new rider.

    My dealer will not let me try on helmets before I buy, because of COVID. So... I'm buying them from Amazon, trying them on, then returning if they don't fit. I was really hoping to have something ready to go before I pick up the bike on Saturday, so I didn't have to buy a helmet from whatever...

    Helmet question from a new rider.

    I think it's too small. Taking it off was definitely a relief, and I can feel around my head (especially my jaw) that it was a bit painful as it was. going to try an XL. Hope it fits, because it will arrive the day before I go pick up the bike.

    Helmet question from a new rider.

    Hi all! On Saturday I pick up a Ryker Rally from the dealership, and I intend to drive it home. I am a brand new rider-- I've never driven anything other than cars. My question concerns a helmet-- here is the scenario: 1. the dealer is not willing to let me try on helmets due to COVID. 2. I...

    Looking at a Ryker

    So this is actually my first post-- I've been lurking for a while. I've never ridden before, and I'm picking up my 2021 Ryker Rally from a dealership in Michigan on Saturday, April 17. I managed to get it new for about $500 under MSRP, and 10% off of accessories, with a $55 finance charge and...
