in reply to: Favourite Signs and Billboards – Post them here #6506
Had a chuckle with this one, very clever
in reply to: Abandoned weatherboard buildings -Post them here- #5060Thanks Alex,Last night I got as far as being able to put them into photobucket, added some comments, then resized them and copied and pasted them to the IMG box in the forum.But when I posted them nothing happened :? by this time it was well into today so I gave it up and will try tonight.remember I am still using an abacus to count and may move onto trying a slide rule in a few years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make sure it's the IMG Code you cut and paste into the text box on this forum. Another good feature of Photobucket is that it sizes your photos automatically when you upload them.Cheers,Garry
in reply to: Abandoned weatherboard buildings -Post them here- #5054Ok "HELP"It obviously didnt work and I have 15 to post so this is what I have done.They are saved in "My Pictures" file in my documents but they are over 1MB each so I emailed them to myself in a smaller format and now the bigest one is 127Kb.I suppose I could just email them to some helpfull person to do, but I should do them myself to learn but this new forum is different to the last time I did it and I also would like to put where they are from (if I can remember!!!)I also believe from one of Aslans previous posts descriptions, that he may have already posted a couple of these but there is no picture that I can open on his posts to see.Jim
Jim, there's two ways to post pictures here as I understand it, no doubt I will be corrected if I'm wrong (and may learn something new). The easiest way is to post as an attachement - but file sizes are a problem, i.e. if you save a picture to your C: drive and the size is too big then the attachement won't work. Most people would have a program that can resize photos to the 128 KM maximum required though. The other downside is that there is a limit to 4 photos you can attach at any one time.The other way is to open an internet account to manage your photo, pretty much an on-line photo album. I like photobucket because it's free and reasonably easy to use. There are better accounts like Smugmug, where resoloution might be better etc., but for posting photos I take am fine with what I get from Photobucket. This way you can just copy the URL address of each photo straight into the text box here at BMWOR, as many as you like. With Photbucket you can sdave pictures as Thumbnails or avatars or suitable for 15' screen or for the purpose of posting on sites like this, all the options are there. So, you can post as many as you want, surrounded by text that you want, all sorts of good things. Have a look at http://www.photobucket.com if you're interested.If none of this floats your boat, email pictures with breif description to me and I'll post them for you.Cheers,Garry
in reply to: What are they doing to the Adventure?? #6553I suspect he/she wants to take the family along.
I remember the Goldwing combo three-up on the 03 BMW Safari, this looks a little capable though 😀
in reply to: Discount Tours for BMWOR members #6551Nice thought, and I might consider close to $12,000NZ+ to take Jo on a 1200GS for 8-14 days around Spain and Morocco not too bad if it was an adventure ride, but it's not – it's all road riding and they only aim at covering around 200K a day, a lot of us do that before breakfast 😀
in reply to: Modifications: #6533There's only one vote so far, must be yours AT 😛You've missed the ubiquitous option of "All of the above" - in which case you may have got my vote had it been there, but probably not because polls just don't do it for me 😥Sorry mate - go for a ride 😀

in reply to: Whangarei Ride November 06 #6478But there is people on the beach having a nice day in the sun. :wink:Â How's the weather below the Bombays
Get the odd sunny/calm one but, another glorious day of 130K+ wind gusts and very heavy rain here made for an interesting ride to work this morning 👿 Tomorrow is the first day of Summer 🙄
in reply to: Whangarei Ride November 06 #6475There's no photos of bikes on the beach 😕
in reply to: Oil changes #6452Thankyou Garry, they're actually Mrs Gs since I'm now working on the shore and we can't commute together. She set out to get a "shopping basket" then changed that to "something that's fun" then again "maybe a cheap little sports car"!! Some shopping basket. I have to say with the top down it is a heap of fun - especially on the curves 😀
Funny, Mrs NZGSer is thinking along the same lines here (although aside from being fun, it has to be "environmentally friendly" as well) and we've been looking around a bit. Would appear the soon-to-be-upon-us Common Rail 1.6 TurboDiesel Mini is nudging ahead of the 1 Series we've tried recently, although I actually liked the wee Peugeot 206 Coupe Cabriolet we tried out as well. Me - Neanderthal that I am - I'll stick with the Ute thanks 😀
in reply to: Oil changes #6448Nice wheels Mr G 😎
