• 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.

    ST heat on left side

    I have a 2013 RS-S and have noticed heat on left side when stopped or going slow on a hot day, 80 deg or so, but not bad. Someone posted about a week ago that they put the 2013 ST plastic strip on their RS and it REDUCED heat on their left leg.

    Looks like I'll be going against grain on this. Here in Wa. state we have choice to either take the training class and test or take the written knowledge test for a learners permit, then come back within 90 days and take the riding test, the latter being the one I'm going to do....I'll report...
