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’m sure Zip will post a review when he gets online, but in the meantime...
It was a 900 ACE. Rained a lot in the morning, but mainly on the North Shore, that Dealer is on the South Shore where it was spotty showers. The good news was the temp was 50F, so we weren’t cold. Cops were everywhere but never bothered us. Traffic is heavy by the dealership but there were a few areas of open road...plus the Ryker makes it really easy to lose the traffic. I believe we all used the same first word when we described our ride, “thing is a rocket”. It’s like a sport bike, if you twist the throttle all the way, it will throw you off. Lol. Exceeded every expectation in my opinion. It’s definitely not a Spyder but in a class by its self. And I must commend Mrs. Zip, she did a great job w that video.

Hey, it was a fun ryde. So I ryde a RT and this is a big difference. It was the 900. Fast ryde as you saw I broke the the rear wheel loose pulling out and I was going to really get on it but saw the police officer sitting on the corner. Easy to pass the speed limit if your not careful and as you know we would never do that "cough cough ". Your feet are forward but I had the feeling they should be back like on a sport bike, when I hit the throttle I felt like it was going to shoot out from under me. Ryde and cornering was good. Felt strange not to need to shift. Got a lot of looks on the road. Would be a good bike to go out with if you just wanted wind therapy. Good for short runs.
Easy adjusting the handle bars, foot pegs and brake. Has no key just a fob which I liked. The fob can be programmed for full speed or reduced speed if you had a young person that you did not want to go fast on it.
Now the down side.
When you look close at it you can see they went the road of keeping cost down. No radio, small seat, no wind shield, no storage. It had a vibration when sitting still. Lower clearance than the spyder. None are a deal breaker
For the price it's a nice little bike. I would buy one just to take out and RIP around.
