I took an energy drink bottle and zip tied it to the tube frame (I've cut my M2)of my Cyclone. The energy drink is made to resemble a nitrous bottle, maybe you've seen it. I'm either going to make people shake with fear, do a double take or recognize an obvious joke. I thought it was funny. TT

Funny...we think alike.

I affixed the NOS energy drink cap to my choke. Looks really cool and when I get tired of the billet catch can, I also have an extra bottle or two saved for the fab job.

Webbers-If you cant get NOS energy drink where youre at, pm me and Ill grab one for ya.
Also...its VERY tasty stuff!!!

Well I just came in from waxing the dirty M2 and logged on. So I'll see if I can get a pic posted. I have a devil of a time with too many pixels to post. I will succeed, eventually. If I had real nos I'd prolly be laughing all the time, not just during the ride. TT P.S. I have been trying for over an hour to post one of the best bike shots I've taken. To no avail. I want to play and share too dammit

Tictoc,

Download irfanview, the world's best freeware photo editor and viewer. Download and install the plug ins for it too.

Open a photo. Drag and click to frame the "meat" of the photo in a frame, click on Edit > Crop Selection.

Click Image > Resize/Resample, set an image size with a width of around 600, take what you get for height to preserve the aspect ratio.

Click File > Save As... and save to a new file name, then open that file name. The bar at the bottom of the image will have the new sizes in the 4th box over. The small value is the upload size, the larger is the equivalent size or memory size for the uncompressed image.

The memory size will be about 15 times or so as big as the upload size and that is how they get good images into small uploads.

You can play with the image size to reduce it further or make larger without exceeding the upload limit.

Good luck,

Jack

Thanks Jack But you know what? I downloaded IrfanView followed instructions and have edited, cropped, resized X10 for two hours and I am truly blue in the face. Pitty, It's a cool picture. I just don't get it. TT P.S. WTF? 4 hours screwing around trying to upload 1 pic? How in the hell do you guys get such great big beautiful pics to post? This is a new pc with great capabilities- I hope nobody stole my bike outside while I've been wasting my time. F*CK IT

How to change the default...hmmm It's really not a pocket bike. Sorry for the french there Blake. Still having trouble the pic uploads as a jpg and defaults to bhp sorry to be a bore never say die I'll try after a bit if I can change the default (?) I'm all around the ballpark but I still can't change the default I will figure it out. I don't expect you guys to be my I.T. people for me. I just love my buell and want to share with everyone. TT

Found on Irfanview F.A.Q. Q. How can I convert e. g. a BMP image/file to JPG? A. Open a BMP file using the File->Open menu Now go to File->Save as menu, choose JPG as output format, set the new file name/folder and save. If you want to convert many files, use the batch conversion.
maybe later I've got a tire to repair : ) TT
