I don't know if this has turned out to be a cruiser or a café racer. I lean more to the café racer theme and will pull off the P-nut tank in favor of something different as soon as I figure out what. If the shot loads it will be looking down on the bike sort of from the riders seat. I have tried to load a picture about 4 times and loose everything. I just got back from a test run of a few miles. I think the speedo on it is calibrated for 26 inch wheels and I have 29s so it is probably off. It does an easy indicated 25 with lots left over.

View attachment 58942 well it is now saying the picture is attached. I can't see it, I don't know the rotation, It might even be some of my favorite porn. Even if I can't post pictures I think I have a nice ride here. I wish I could show it off.

...good morning Jim, i have found that the best way to do pictures is to create an album right here on the site and upload your pictures into that album, then, once they are uploaded you can post them into your posts either as full-sized pics or as thumbnails. (once uploaded into an album you can then post it into as many posts as you'd like)

...to start you'll want to click on the link up in the top left corner that says 'User CP' which will take you to your control panel, ...once there you'll see a list of all the threads you may have subscribed to and on the left you'll see links to your account and in that list you'll see one that say's 'Pictures and albums', ...click that and it takes you to another page where you create your album by clicking on the link 'create new album' which takes you to ANOTHER page, lol, where you name your album and choose whether it will be private or public, if you want people to see the pics choose 'public', 'private' is for pics you want to reserve for your 'friends'.

...anyway, once you've created and named your album you'll need to upload your pics into it, ...hover near the name of the album and a link appears to 'upload pics' and when you click on it another page comes up with 3 dialog lines, each with a 'Browse' button to the right, ...what you do is to click those 'Browse' buttons, one at a time, and that will give you the ability to go to wherever it is on your computer you have your pics stored and then just choose which three you want to upload and then upload them.

...if you want to upload more than three pics just repeat the process and if you want to create an entirely new album then just start the process from the beginning, ...i'd show you but i have already reached my limit with 4 albums and MANY pics uploaded.

...btw, i've written this from memory so the names of the links may be slightly different but the will be essentially the same as i've described.

peace, bozo

btw, if you don't want to go through that you can also load pics as attachments but again, you need to browse to wherever it is you have your pics stored to upload them properly. (if you do it this way then each time you want to share a picture you'll have to upload it again as an attachment, if you do it the other way you'll only need to upload each picture once.

here is a picture of my bike from one of my albums.



...and a shot of me and the guys heading down to the beach to score chicks, ...with picture as an attachment.

I reloaded the picture into my pictures file and tried it once more and once more it says it is there. It does look like it is. When I have gotten this far before and tried to preview it I lost everything. So like so much in my life I am flying blind. I really want to get back to bikes. If you can see the picture regardless of the rotation you will be able to see that I did manage to fit the speedo to it. I solved the choke lever interference issue by cutting off the top of the lever and drilling a 1/8 hole in it and super gluing a dowel pin in it. It even makes sense now straight across is closed pointed forward is open. I am still with out a kill switch. (I have more wires than the instructions say I have) and I still don't have a front brake. So the left grip is still off the bike. I do like the clubman bars and used to use them on my British Café racers of the old days. Well I will get off and see it there is a pic.
