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.

Good question! As I see it the 2020 will be the fourth iteration of the RT. 2010 to 2013 with the V-twin engine, then 2014 to 2017 with the 1330, then 2018 & 2019 with the new cluster, and now the 2020 with a significant body redesign. Maybe we should call it the RT4!
There is that ^^
But the 2013 RT's did come out with the new frame & suspension intended for the 1330 motor that didn't arrivein time... so maybe they should be the RT Series 2?? Or at least a Series 1a, cos they are significantly different to the 2010-2012 RT's.... :dontknow:
But many vehicle manufacturers change their 'Series' every time they make a minor change, like just adding a new colour to the range, or changing the trim spec.... :shocked: So maybe there should be a new Series RT for every year where there's a new colour &/or a spec change.... which'd mean a new series for the RT-S with the shorter windscreen, then another for the Triple Blacks, and again for the Daytonas, and so on and so forth!! :gaah:
Maybe it's just better to leave it the way it is?!? :dontknow:

I would not worry about technical descriptions for personal plates. Only :ani29: people may figure them out. Most people, based on past threads about personal plates, were based on something else.
My 08 had SPYDR1 on it. The first Spyder sold to a customer in AK.
My 09 had SPYDR2 on it.
My 10 had BLKWDO on it. Premier edition RTS. Black was the top of the line color that year. The next year, black got pushed to the bottom of the line. Great marketing by u no who? :roflblack:
After 2010 I stopped using vanity plates. I just named my bikes for the "halibut."
2014 became "nanner," it was yellow of course.
2011 became "baby," it was Linda's bike.
Last, but not least the 2019 became "ernie" and 2014 got renamed "burt." One is yellow and one is orange. We even bought one of each muppet to become passengers on the two bikes.
Make it fun, and enjoy the ride. :yes:
