• 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.

I can't counter steer

What I have learned is that the RT is inherently stable, I run twisties near my home that put any bike to the test. The sensation of falling away from the turn can be unnerving but It never acts out in the corners even when I am far above the recommended speed. As I enter the turn I follow the typical motorcyle protocals and from there I add:
  1. Clamp my thighs to the sides
  2. shift my body slightly away from the direction of the turn
  3. Look into and ahead of the turn
  4. Down shift and break aggressively as I come into the turn
  5. Full throttle as I move through the curve
I found that letting go of the throttle in the turn tends to make the bike swing wide, powering into the curve keeps her in the lines.

I never had as much fun on a 2 wheeler as there is very little body english in a counter steer. The RT connects me to the machine and I fell I am part of the action, not just a rider.
