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.

Pikes Peak race to the sky
Just to put the bike performance in perspective a Tremoto Kawasaki Z1 up Pikes Peake ~13 mins.
Oh BTW if you want to see what it looks like knocking 3 minutes off that time see if your pants are OK after this run!

:clap: I need a nap after watching that! :shocked:
How much of that wheel-hop, was caused by rider fatigue? He was really leaning on that brake pedal by the end of the run...
A couple of missed shifts, and one blown turn... He could have run it even quicker! :2thumbs:

Likely more than one blown turn i think you mean the one where Eddie decided its was faster to go over the mountain than up the road Bob! :yikes:
Eddie just the engineer we couldn't afford a pro rider and a pro-rider doesnt risk their beans on a novelty run and yeah he wasnt in shape. But credit to him what the run notes don't tell you is he made it to the ranger checkpoint on his first run before about 3 guys were turned back as a crashed bike started to burn. Yeah and then you can here some of the impressive performance and stopping power of the front end as the rear locks under heaviest breaking spots, if you want to still be boy racer cant go past it yet.
Still looking for that Angel investor or to build enough "stuff" and raise enough money to do a successful indiegogo campaign. I personally want to show more than one setup configuration although there are 6 different bikes running around thats essentially whats been stuck too as development is expensive and time consuming while your working.
So he actually did about 20 minutes riding like a maniac in his own way :firstplace:
Ive done about 20 minutes in a readers ride session around Phillip Island down here in OZ and man I was begging for it to be over for the last 5 minutes after my first track ride and I was in good shape then, just the adrenalin dump and lactic acid burn after that was massive and out of control.
Cudos to anyone who's done anything like have a bit of a crack, Pikes Peake or anywhere takes nuts or have to be nuts like Greg Tracys run now in my post to get the number one time.
Thanks Bob I'll pass it on. :thumbup:
