• 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.

    Owners Event - Blue Ridge Parkway

    Skyline and BRP Papa: Living about 30 minutes from the north entrance to Skyline Drive we ride this route quite a bit. The speed limit on Skyline Drive is 35 and during June you will find a lot of park police so the recommendation is to be conscious of your speed. Also, if its a really nice...

    Octane vs. Ethanol

    Gasoline smell & drip

    Same smell We had the purge valve replaced after 12,000 miles on our 2011 RT. When we pulled it into the garage after about 100 miles there was a strong fuel smell. No physical evidence just the smell. We will continue to monitor after a few hundred more miles and see what happens.

    Purge valve cause of hot restart and cutting out?

    Update The scoot was completed last week and we picked it up on Saturday. So far so good. Seems to be running much better with the replaced purge valve. Wife was out riding yesterday when it was hot so that was a good test. No hesitation and no cutting off. Also no hot restart issues. The...

    carry a pistol?

    Could not disagree more on this statement. You just have to be knowledgeable about the laws in the area where you are carrying. And if you are going to carry then you have the responsibility to educate yourself. I tend to carry most of the time when were are on extended rides. As the...
