• 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.

    Gold Canyon Az to Lake Stevens, Wa

    Most scales I’ve seen were rounded to nearest 20lbs. Looks like this one could be to nearest 50lbs. Just fyi …

    Will a 2023 F3 fit on an open 6x12 UHaul Trailer with ramp?

    My wife loaded her F3-S into a UHaul 6x12 enclosed trailer. BUT, you need to make sure to get one with the double swing-out doors, not the roll-up door! Then you just need 3 ramps.

    Which do you prefer for Dallas to Hot Springs - I-30 or I-70? Why?

    If you’ve got the time, head North from Paris on US-271 all the way to just North of Talihina, Oklahoma; then take OK-1/AR-88 East all the way past Mena and Oden, AR; then continue East on AR-270 through Mt Ida into Hot Springs. You won’t be sorry - the Talimena Scenic Byway is quite the route -...

    Both turn signal indicators showing on dash when turning left and right

    My ‘17 F3-S shows both on dash when either signal is engaged. Sounds normal. Just letting you know you have a signal on. :dontknow::dontknow:

    Am I alone? Why are there so few ride reports?!?

    First m/c road trip ever made for either my new-ish wife or myself. It was in 1996 or ‘97, and we were right about 30 years old and B.C. (before children). A weekend getaway from the southern tip of Texas to tent camping in Schreiner State Park in Kerrville, TX. About 350 miles distant. We were...

    Where in Texas are you from?

    I had supper there tonight, as a matter of fact! Not on the F3-S, though.

    Birthday present - “some assembly required” Reverse Trike model!

    Only know two things about the engine set-up - 1) it looks fairly scale in the model {wish we had V4’s in the F3-S}, and 2) compression ratio is ZERO !!!

    N Dallas - Hot Springs Rally - Meet n Ryde?

    Two to 4 is about the biggest group I’d wanna travel with. If end up as part of a bigger group, I try to find a couple others and form our own separate small group to travel to the destination either ahead of or behind the main group. Too many things to go wrong in a large group. And, you are...

    Birthday present - “some assembly required” Reverse Trike model!

    Got to work on the kit again tonight. (Drat!! - forgot to take measurements for bore & stroke!). You can see the yellow pistons in the cylinder bores of the V4 engine. Worked about another hour, and am finally finished with ‘subassembly 1’. Have some parts left over, but think that is by design...

    Birthday present - “some assembly required” Reverse Trike model!

    Worked on it another ~2 hours tonight. Got the complete swingarm assembly put together - 140 parts to just that segment. Then started the process of mating it to the front suspension assembly. Again, some better instructions and clearer diagrams would help. Ended up having to disassemble quite a...

    Birthday present - “some assembly required” Reverse Trike model!

    Spent about an hour and a half on the new ‘toy’ tonight. Nine pages, 27 steps, and I have a nearly complete front end. Has working steering and suspension, complete with control arms, shocks, ball joints, drag links, even a u-joint on the steering system. Didn’t all go perfectly smoothly, as...

    New 2023 F3-S solo, but has foot pegs - what options to make it 2-up?

    Dealer probably sold it to someone else … Bought my ‘17 model ‘new’ in 2022 (I am 1st registered owner - it had less than 80miles on it). Bike had been at 3 different dealers - and I still got the extra parts that were supposed to come with it.

    Birthday present - “some assembly required” Reverse Trike model!

    True that!! Decided to put off opening the 7 bags marked “1” until I can put a couple hours into it. And - don’t want parts scattered all over Hades.

    Cool! Rio Hondo here. What color’s your F3-S? Will be on the lookout for ya.

    Birthday present - “some assembly required” Reverse Trike model!

    Hmmm … I consider myself a pretty educated fellow, but these “instructions” seem to be the worst I have ever seen. Not a single word - in ANY language - in the instruction book. Apparently, there are 3 ‘groups’ of parts, plus the wheels/tires and a bag full of some kind of connector pins (all...
