• 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.

    Questions for the experts - not the wannabes at my dealership

    Having ridden both a BSA 441 Victor and a Triumph 650 Bonneville. I am not so concerned about a little vibration here or there. A "Thumper" vibrating? Surely you jest, Sir!

    My navigator and I Did It!

    It was weird- When I saw this ryde in the showroom all I could do was stand there and grin at it. After a 30 min ride I was grinning even more. Best yet my wife said go for it...just doesn't get much better.

    My navigator and I Did It!

    Our 2010 RT has been faithful but we have wanted to upgrade, so...meet Scoot3r II.

    Dealer Install vents for heat reduction

    I just had it done on my 2010 RT. BRP covered total cost; the statement that the labor would be 5 to 6 hrs is pure smoke blowing. My tech had the job done in less than 2 hrs and did a spot-on job! I even got to watch.

    Had my first hater today

    Last month I had a CHP motor pass me on the LA 605 Freeway (I was in the #1 lane; He was in the #2 lane) and as he came by he gave me "The Wave"! Reeeally cool!

    Parking brake not disengaging 2011 RTS

    I had a similar experience with my 2010 RT. Turned out the plastic sheath covering the cable was cracking and not allowing the cable to slide freely. Replaced the cable and no problems since. Might want to see if it's binding up, if you haven't already.

    Need Some Help Here Part 1

    Chukka- Thanks for the info. I'll be heading to the auto store tomorrow to check out what they have on stock. Primary concern is the windscreen since Scoot3r is my primary out-of-town transportation And early morning sun angle going to be a :banghead::banghead::yikes:!

    road maps

    I agree! I use GPS to get to hotels and Restaurant on I'm near my destination. But my Navigator and my road trips are pick a direction not destination and it's nice spreading out a map on the hotel bed and pick the next days ride

    Need Some Help Here Part 1

    NO KIDDING BOB! That was within the first 2 miles. Be assured I remembered and the next 21 was with the tank locked in. P.S. 70 mph gusts IMHO are not an annoyance- they're downright bothersome!

    Need Some Help Here Part 1

    Need Some Help Part 2 After hosing and washing Scoot3r the entire front is covered with small sand pits (no surprises there is there?) Fortunately there are no deep pits or chips. The windscreen is the most notable. So My questions are: 1) Can I use a rubbing compound on the fenders and frunk...

    Need Some Help Here Part 1

    I was caught in high winds and blowing sand riding home from a small mining town where I was spending the day teaching at the high school. We were expecting high wind (20-25 mph) in the afternoon with gusts of 35 mph-which is fairly normal in our part of the desert. What we got was 35-40 with...

    This just plain true

    From Zen Motorcyclist on our riding brotherhood and sisterhood. I really needed to read this during period of constant turmoil out of our capital: "We [motorcyclists] tend to lean toward the good, toward positivity and open-mindedness. Whether that is true of all motorcyclists or just true of...

    running with failed dps tourque sensor

    My DPS went out last fall; other than a little stiffer at low speeds no problem continuing to ride. I continued riding for about another two months and was able to get to the point of not even seeing the toggling warning light. Handling kinda reminded me of driving a TriGlyde...(kinda).

    Another Spyder accident - distracted driving

    Absolutely spot-on Bob!! I really get the paranoids after me when I'm stopped at intersections; I will often try to stay/move into the right lane so I can pitch-out into the bike lane, or around the corner, if I have to.
