- September 19, 2014, 08:21:41 AMQuote from: Drift1 on September 16, 2014, 05:38:34 AMThank you guys ... For installing the picture's , I have window's 8 . I use my phone for all my picture taking being I always have it ready available . What I do is email the picture's to myself , then download them to the computer . Troll I did as you said and click on the image to find picture size option with no luck . It has rotate left , right etc. There has to be a way to down size image's to be able to post them to the forum . Unfortunately for me , I obviously haven't figured it out yet . Once riding season comes to a halt I'll have plenty of time to play with this matter . Ride safe guy's .
Did you install Irfanview first? Have you updated to Win 8.1 and fixed all the annoyances yet?

- September 13, 2014, 09:47:29 AMWhat ever photo editor you're using, click on the "image" menu and choose resize or resample. 1920x1080 usually gets the picture down to the limit for posting here. Save the picture in a directory you are using for pictures. I use Irfanview for basic photo editing and scanning, and a bunch of other multimedia functions. It's free and works very well. http://www.irfanview.com/
Don't forget the plug-ins and filters.

- September 13, 2014, 09:12:57 AMSorry guys It is only letting this picture down load . One of these days I'll figure out how to down size the photo to get them to post , and Aidan's not home at the moment ..... 
... LOL

- September 13, 2014, 09:02:19 AMWell it's been some time since posting on this thread , but here's a little over due up date . We've decided ( Aidan ) to name the 1500 " Miss Ruby " . We added some floor board fringe with studs as well as the front fender tip . IMOP the tip adds a nice touch to this machine . It's starting to get chilly and find that my hands seem to get cold a lot more often then in the past . Either my circulation is getting bad , for numerous reasons , or it's just age creeping upon me 
.
A few weeks ago I attended a benefit ride benefit called , " Lost Wheels " . Very big turn out , as this benefit started in the early 70"s . There was well over 500 bikes and of course only one drifter 
. To a surprise " Miss Ruby " won peoples choice at the benefit . I wasn't expecting that ,as it was overwhelming with Harley enthusiast I guess Harley rider's themselves know a good machine when they see one Of course I could hear people say , " look at that Indian " as they walked up and spotted the Kawi tank emblem ... SURPRISE .... LOL .... Any way here's a few picture's

- May 31, 2014, 13:43:08 PMOK, so here's the challenge Drift1. You have a new ride in the stable. She (or is it a he?) needs a name! It can be as simple as "Lady", or as into it as "Pocahontas", but she needs a name. The sooner the better! And Aidan needs to have a hand in it I'd say!

GB the bag looks WAY to plain from the side view . I believe your right , Troll added some to his as well 
Definitely an easy fix , at least .
PC , Aidan had a blast and so did Dad for that matter . We went on a nice 50 mile run this morning as MAMA was still asleep .... LOL Little guy is hooked now so my guess is the two up seat will be staying on for awhile . I wish I had the skills of the one Mr. Troll . I really like what he did and the look of that Nomad seat mod . Think this is priority on the to do list this winter

- May 30, 2014, 23:01:36 PMQuote from: Drift1 on May 30, 2014, 21:49:13 PMJust wanted to post , up to date pictures . I too , like a few others on the forum . went with the Shinko's and so far I'm enjoying how they handle . Granted I only put about 167 miles on them . I also added the luggage rack bag to the two-up seat back rest . I just strapped it around the rest and it holds nice and tight . Aidan has been on me to put the two-up seat on so he could go for a ride , so today we installed everything and took him on his first ride . I'm still trying to decide , if I should add it to the luggage rack when riding solo or not . The only thing I don't like about the bag is the fact there's no spots ( studs ) on the sides . Adding the studs is on the to do list . Pilgrim , hopefully this weekend I'll cut the windscreen down

Pastor dude , think I'm just to anxious of getting the bike back together and always hated the waiting game .. Must say though , if the right shade was sent in the first place the wait would have been over two weeks ago . David's craftsmanship is fantastic though , I must admit . My biggest complaint is the customer relations , as far as being updated and he's real short on response if that makes since ? Basically one liners , not something someone wants to hear when your paying top dollar for product . Ok my bitching rant is over now .... LOL
