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 really don't keep track of mileage, I often put a thousand miles in a week. I know some rides are 3 tank fulls of gas. Every mile has been fun.

I'm a little embarrassed that my longest day has only been about 350 miles. 700 mile days were easy on my BMW GS and my longest day was 909 miles. However, by the end of the 909 mile day I was seeing bunnies running across the road where I do not think there were bunnies.

I bought my Ryker Rally late autumn, and only got chance for a few rides. Longest was around 130 miles.
Nice to see others getting some impressively long trips on their Rykers, I sure will do some attempts to get on the highscore list this coming season! Im shopping new clothing etc now, so as soon as the spring weather arrives Im all set

329 last Sunday.
I highly considered picking up a Ryker Rally to ease the growing miles on my Victory Vision but the one turn-off for me was the lack of storage anywhere. I like to keep my list of necessities with me to be ready for whatever - and I like to travel a lot. I just couldn't get past the lack of storage. Now I see SlingMods has a setup that might help with that and Lamonster has a rack set-up but you have to pick your own bags I think. I ultimately landed on a '15 F3S instead (frunk and added bags).
I'm super impressed by some of you that have been traveling on your Rykers and would love to see pictures of your set-ups. I love the shaft drive of the Ryker - and it was an awesome ride when I did the demo.
Keep enjoying those Rykers and breaking the "bar hopper" stereotype of them.

On the Ryker you can now buy a LinQ plate which means there are A LOT of BRP accessories that will "Linq" onto the Ryker. There are specific Ryker LinQ accessories but there are also LinQ accessories from the ATV and Snowmobiles that will fit on the Ryker. You could mount coolers, large, medium, small storage bags, gas cans, guns, chainsaws, snowboards, combinations of things (like a gas can and storage bag or multiple storage bags...all kinds of stuff.
If you ride a Ryker solo then there is no need to worry about having enough storage space. There are plenty of BRP and aftermarket options.

The farthest I have gone is about 260
miles round trip. I’m thinking I should have asked how much time
Spent on a ride bs distance. That ride took 4 hours one way with my wife because we took mainly back roads instead of highway.
The ride was relatively comfortable with the comfort drivers seat and comfort passenger seat with backrest, except I had a backpack on which got uncomfortable and the handlebars need to be pulled back a bit. So I have the 3-piece luggage system ordered and I will be putting 2” risers on the bars for a more relaxed ride.
I’m going to be putting floor boards with highway pegs and considering swapping out the OEM windshield with either Madstad or F4’s windshield.

I agree- I’m eagerly watching the Sling Mod storage solution for the Ryker. The bike is a dark horse choice for purchase in 2020- the more research I do the more I’m convinced in less than a few years we’ll see a better final drive option for a Spyder equivalent and maybe other OEMs joining the market. I would rather not over buy right now. I think an F3 variant or Ryker is in my near future and probably used.
