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.

You don't wait for the storms to pass: you learn to ride in the rain... :thumbup:

An interesting video. I would recommend you try this and get some practice in before hitting the road on an extended ride in the rain.
Not enough water on the roads for heavy hydroplaning--so IMO--the jury is still out there. Done it twice on my RT's at freeway speeds--and it is not fun. Thank you nanny. :bowdown::bowdown:
He did mention that the Ryker started to "break" its grip when starting out on the wet roads. I would also be a bit concerned about quick stops. Less weight...etc.
Am guessing that the lighter weight will almost make it like a two wheeler in the rain--but a bit better for controlling with the added nanny aboard.
Do have fun, but be aware of what "may" happen.

This is the first video that I have heard someone reference how much the front fenders vibrate. I haven't ridden one yet, but I did get to sit on one, and observed it running. The fenders vibrate a lot. I am also a guy who wants a little more wind protection than this Ryker will offer. But the full jury for me will still be out until I get to ride one for myself. But as of now, I would either look for a used F3 or RSS.
