You're welcome, it's no problem at all. You need to resize the pic so it is small enough to be posted before you upload it. I just use the picture manager in Office 2003. Start-Programs-
Office 2003-Office Tools-Picture Manager. Just go to where you have the pic saved on your hard drive, click edit pictures and you can auto correct it and resize. For this board
I use the Web-Small size, but I believe you can use the Web-Large size also.
Somebody had to tell me how to do it when I first started looking at bike forums too.

Skyguy there is a free software download that will let you resize your pictures and you do not lose any of the quality. I use XAT, downloaded it off the web but can't remember the website. Just google for it and you may find it.

Did I miss something, what is Shameless being such a jerk about. Blake you should delete that post, or was he replying to something that was deleted?

Lonexb, yup get rid of the extra keys. I had just one extra on mine it was the house key and it destroyed the look of my upper clamp. It engraved some nasty looking scratches.

The silver bodywork does look good on the 9. Kind of the polar opposite of the blacked out 12.

yin and yang kind of thing.

Man, Court must really have you guys beaten into Pavlov's lapdogs with the "remind me..."
'Twas just teasin and waiting for one of you to actually ask.

Turned out really nice I think, but then again, my opinion is debateable.



Here's one of the whole bike, keeping with the flow



And here's one of the front yard.
Sorry, it's not that exciting but you asked to see it...



p.s.

I'll take turgidity over hair any day.

Your XB looks good Midknyte, and your front lawn exciting.

Skyguy there is yet another solution to resize pictures, made by Microsoft and free to download. It integrates the resizer right into Windows. I have been using it for quite some time and haven't had a problem.

LoneXB, I really like the license plate! I didn't know that a state could issue a vanity plate that fast, Pennsylvania can't.

Typeone, were did you get the tail piece for you bike?

From Jens at Hillbilly-Motors-Motors. Not sure if they went into production, it was a carbon/kevlar mock-up of an HSA style tail. I guess some exist in fiberglass too. I love the look but kinda bummed that the LEDs for the plate light went out so soon. Need to repair.

Hey Brian,
The bike looks absolutely fabulous.
Can't wait to see it in person.

I really hesitate to make any suggestion about such a perfectly finished bike, but I might think about doing two things. One: front fork sliders to protect the ultra cool black coating on the forks. Two: paint the pucks to match the airbox, (glossy black Krylon Fusion), or dark grey to match the frame.

Hope you will make it out here when the weather gets good for one of our Sunday morning sport rides.

Did everything work out with your old tail?

Hey, Lonexb; are those pipes Jet Hot Coated? Or did you use someone/thing else? I think the pipes on my Ulysses would look really good black.
