• 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.

    Any ideas on how to fix a Broken Hinge on a 2016 RT's R/H Pannier?

    Thanks for the great information. I am not greatly skilled in repairs nor do I have a good place to work on the fix, but am willing to try. I know that it will need to be shortened but do you think this metal strip would work or does a solid piece work better? Thanks again.

    Not always Shifting from First to Neutral - paddle shifter or what??

    Blueknight: I have the same bike and mine works directly opposite of yours. From reverse I can only up-shift to 1st gear. With a delicate touch I downshift from 1st into neutral.

    How do you heat your home??

    In NYC most if not all large office and apartment buildings are steam-heated using natural gas. Smaller buildings may use oil or natural gas. Single family homes use either natural gas or oil being steam-heated or forced-air. In my current home we use steam-heat using oil.
