• 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.

Great list of Rides to challenge the Rally drivers

thanks for that link. Some I have already ridden but many I have not and will have to put on the list. The paved ones would be fun for any Spyder.
 
Now that I have a Rally, I can do some of these roads!!

I would ask you Ryker Rally Riders to log, blog, vlog whichever and document the "off-pavement" rides and tell us watching and waiting folks how it really handles real-world off pavement riding.
Maybe we should have you guys start a Ryker Rally Off-Pavement challenge!
 
I grew up in Durango so Red Mountain Pass and the Million Dollar Highway were in my back yard and I was driving them at 16 and still driving them (once a year now) at 75. I've also driven many of the others but oddly enough, never the "Oh-My-God" road. Black Bear a number of times on dirt bikes (DO NOT GO THERE WITH YOUR RYKER!), Mt. Evans, Mosquito (another NO GO for a Ryker), Beartooth, Loveland, Apache Trail (great Ryker road in AZ), Going to the Sun, Tail of the Dragon, Pikes Peak (never on a bike, just a TR4), and the most dangerous according to the web site, Monarch Pass. Oddly enough, I was a CO State Trooper out of Gunnison, CO in the 70's and the west side of Monarch was mine. I can vouch for the number of accidents there, some quite nasty (a long way to the bottom and difficult to bring bodies up out of the canyon!)
 
Anyone have a good idea just how tough the Rally tires are? The rocks on some of those mountain roads, especially here in Idaho, can tear up a thin tire pretty quickly. Tires are the main thing I wonder about. I would like to get a Rally just for mountain roads, and there are a lot them here. Any idea if the Rally tires could be run down at 5 to 6 psi like ATV tires are?

Go to that link above and put Idaho in the search box. You'll get quite a few hits and the videos with them show the roads pretty good.
