• 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.

    The button that does nothing

    Hi jetskier, It seems that we have a different light set up to some of the Canadians and Americans. From what I have read in the past it appears that we have the two lower lights as dipped beams and the upper two are our main beams. Well thats how it is on mine anyway, so we cant have them on...

    Most annoying thing about Spyder

    Very interesting replies. Anyone else notice that there does not seem to be a single niggle but many. I think it just goes to show that we are mostly well satisfied with our toy. As for me, well if they dont like it, they can go and jump. Is that OK to say in the West? ):yes::yes::yes::yes:

    HI, from memory over the past year, I seem to recall the favourite place was on the parking brahe lever at the rear caliper. Low and little to harm. Merry Christmas from the UK.

    helmet questions

    Hi mdr, All helmet makers state the design of the helmet is to absorb impacts by deforming, there is not a test as yet to test a helmet without destroying it. Ask yourself this question. Is my head and brain worth putting at risk as i MAY have started the deformation process without being able...

    HI Oldfart, Great to hear from you again. I know where pump action is but mine came from Adrenaline. I am riding as standard apart from the Hindle pipe, what a great sound it makes now.
