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.

MILES will help as much as anything.
The different steering is part of it but the different FEEL is just as big a factor.
Your unconscious brain wants to react to the 3-wheeled geometry like it has learned to do automatically on 2 wheels........and that just doesn't work anymore.

Hey......maybe we need a support group for EX Vulcan 900 riders. :dontknow:
I absolutely HATE to let mine go. Best bike I've ever owned. Well......if you leave out the one that would do 140 !!!
Mine won't be up for sale until this fall 'cause I've got several things to do with the RT before I will really consider it road worthy.
That includes changing out the 6 year old tires.

Three posts so far about Vulcan 900's. Great bikes. For my size, they fit me like a glove. Traded in my 2009 Vulcan 900 to buy Linda a leftover 2011 RT in 2012. Had hip issues, so two wheels had to go.
Got the hip fixed in January of this year. I just picked up a new (leftover) 2015 Vulcan 900--so I am back on two again. I am now back to the best of both worlds. :yes:

With apologies to Cissy Lee, that reminds me of an old Florida joke. Two elderly gentlemen were driving along when they came to the town of Kissimmee and began an argument over how the name was pronounced. One believed it was KISS-a-me while the other believed it was kiss-SIM-me. They couldn't reach an agreement so they stopped at the first business they saw to get the correct answer from a local. When asked how they could be helped, one said, "How do you pronounce the name of this place?" The man behind the counter said "what?" and had the question repeated to him. He looked at them with some amazement and then spoke very slowly saying, "Burger King."
Oh ka boe gee

Welcome aboard Cissylee!! I grew up in SW Iowa myself (Malvern, east of Council Bluffs) and we vacationed a lot in Okoboji. Always stayed at Spud's Resort and made it a point to get to Arnold's Park each time. Great area to grow up in and a lot of fond memories.
