• 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.

Age of riders buying a Ryker

I'm picking up a black 900 tomorrow. 63 years old, and it's my 7th bike! My current bike is a Suzuki C50 Boulevard, and my wife rides an 09 Can Am Spyder.
 
66 years old and my 32nd bike including dirt and street. Judging from this poll, looks like Can Am missed their 'young' buyer they were aiming for.

Either that or all the young guys are too busy out riding while us old guys are sitting in the LaZyboy posting on the forum:dontknow:
 
Young drivers

Check out ryker lovers on facebook and you will see the younger and first time buyers who are having a hoot with their scoots.

Plus many of them are farkling away. Even though they don't know what the word means.;);) Bob

I'm not young but I don't know what it means either. Maybe it means attaching a pair of fuzzy dice to the windshield?

From Wikipedia:
Farkle is played by two or more players, with each player in succession having a turn at throwing the dice. Each player's turn results in a score, and the scores for each player accumulate to some winning total (usually 10,000). At the beginning of each turn, the player throws all the dice at once.
 
Generally refers to things added that are a blend of "Functional" and "Sparkly", aka Farkle.

Some of what I'm seeing added out there isn't even really any degree of functional (like colored "glow" lighting under the bike).

Just looking for a bit more stability for my young at heart mind. At almost a young 65 I'm not liking the ride of my current bike, Aka. She's a 2012 Suzuki Dl 1000. I've already named our Ryker Rally "Hopper" and look forward to acquiring him/her..
 
I'm 66 and decided I don't want to fall over anymore. Plus I don't miss putting my feet down every time I stop. Or having my rear wheel slide from under me.
 
Bought used 2013 ST-S in September, 74 years old and also have 5 other motorcycles on the road still. If only this cold weather would stop!
 
I got my ‘16 RTL in January. Got the Baja sway bar installed and it was a good move. Not sure about the upgrade on the shocks, very pricey. I’m enjoying the bike. Oh ya, I’m 72 years young.
