• 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.

    Local Harley dealer closing

    I had a part in designing a local car dealer's shiny new facilities. The car manufacturer that they rep told every dealer in the country that they were going to have to give every facility a matching look and feel aligned with the new theme if they wanted to keep their franchise. I don't know...

    Base model ryker became $11.3k

    Hooo-boy! I saw a local dealer had an optioned-out 900 Ryker tagged at $13,000... but that $3,500 profit markup takes my breath away!

    Even ordinary pepper spray can blind a dog (or a human) if not washed out of the eyes promptly. If the dog can't see to get home and/or the owners don't figure out what you did... the dog could be blinded.

    Free runnin Dogs!

    True story. Years ago I was bicycling on a country road with some friends. As we passed a house, a boy and a dog charged out the front door. The boy yelled something to the effect of, "Go get 'em, Spot!" The (scary) dog flew out towards us.... and was flattened by a car. We rode on, leaving the...

    If you tell the police this, they may well do something serious. It may not involve a dog.

    Anti Freeze Alternative?

    If it meets other requirements I'd suggest looking for PROPYLENE GLYCOL coolant. It is non-toxic, whereas ethylene glycol is poisonous and tends to kill things.

    F3 Rear Fender

    Another option might be something like the aftermarket splash guard sold for BMW R-Nine-Ts, to protect the rear shock..... I may have to make a panel like that if I can't find a real mudguard.

    tools

    This was a discussion on the Ryker forum, oddball sockets (like the Ryker axle nut) or tools might be worth carrying along as a tire shop will probably have a 1/2" drive - but not that monster socket.

    I guess I'm a motorcycle guy

    In fact, Henry Ford's first car (1896!) was called a Quadricycle. Since it had a motor, it could be termed a "motorcycle". But now we're into the weeds.

    Ryker For Life

    The Ryker seems very elemental. Responsive, pure. I like it a ton. I also like the F3. Bigger, not as immediate... but better for two-up and / or for highway riding and long distances. I guess like some folks here, I just need to have both! :ohyea:

    I guess I'm a motorcycle guy

    The Ryker IS a motor cycle. Motor? Check. Cycle? Check. The term doesn't refer to the number of wheels. But that said, it's more like riding a go-kart with a handlebar. Way fun.

    1330cc My 2014 RT is Over heating - any ideas on how to correct?

    Parking

    The other day I spotted an RT parked in front of a business in the "Motorcycle Only" zone. Needless to say, it took up at least two or three slots. Has anybody ever been ticketed for / hassled about this? :lecturef_smilie:

    HELP!!! 2019 F3 Loose negative battery terminal.

    If you had an M6 hex nut that wouldn't go in.... very often the nut on a battery terminal is square and not hex shaped, made just for that application. it is made so it can slide into that little cage and is won't spin when you tighten the screw with terminals on it....

    Buying a spyder long distance

    No kidding! So... if I move into the area and bring my Spyder along you won't work on it? I would guess that If you brought that to the attention of BRP they would find it ... interesting.

    syn or blend oil

    I used to work for a major oil company and one day I called up a guy who worked with lube oils and asked him about syn blends. His take was that blends were a waste of money, they are typically something like only 10% synthetic. The real advantage of synthetics is resistance to coking, or carbon...
