• 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.

Harley would have done better had they not made the Penster "leaning". From the discussions here on leaning trikes, one can see that there are inherent drawbacks. I don't like the front end of the thing. Looks like a bug of some kind!! I think a non-leaning Penster had promise. Too bad they didn't go ahead with this.
 
IMO: Kind of neat looking. Since it did not go into production, it seem hard to compare to the :spyder2:.
 
Given how much heat we get off the engine on the RT, how would the foot position and pipe position work on this? Seems like the right side pedals are pretty much placed to drive your leg into the pipe. Chaps for everyone?:dontknow:
 
If it was a non leaner i would take it without hesitation, price wouldn't matter either. Lots of options in reverse trikes out there, you just have to look.
 
They were very itneresting for sure! But I'm still glad that the BRP took the idea and ran with it...
