New bike to me and new member

[Clarkey231]

Morning All,
My names Dave and I’ve just bought a 2003 bird with full history and only 16k miles. Looking forward to picking it up from Torquay on Wednesday, I live in Exeter.
I’m a techno biff, how do I post pics?

See attach files at bottom of frame.
Doesn't take very big files. I usually do a screen grab (on phone) and crop them.
Click on "insert" on the thumbnail and selec for full size.
Think that's it.

Welcome from sunny west of Ireland.
But what colour is it??????
Don't post pics taken at home.
You will just invite a full critique of
your house and garden dog and cat.

Sorry I can’t see it? I’ve managed something I think.

Files need to be no more that 1Mb.

One thing you really ought to find out is whether the ‘loom fix’ has been done on your new steed….if not advice is to get it done sooner rather than later as it it likely to cause problems at some point. Sounds scary but a simple enough DIY job, essentially making sure that everything is earthEd properly to rectify a not very clever bit of design by Mr Honda.

You should be good from the off.

If I remember right, you need 10 posts to put up something for sale.

You get the ability to do post pictures straight away.

Lots of ways of doing it…do you post using an Apple device…if so ignore all the well meaning stuff above……it’s really simple on Apple, post up if you do use Apple….

If you use Android then download a free app called Litphoto from the Google Play Store.

This lets you compress files.

Clever people those Norwegians.

Thanks for all the responses, I’m not sure about the loom fix done or not but I’m relatively handy so I’ll have a look. Hopefully I’ll get up to speed posting pics.
