    Picked one of these up at a good price as a winter bike been out this morning, can not believe this bike is nearly 30 years old it’s so comfy gearbox is so smooth handles lovely. I have ridden a lot of bikes in my 34 years of riding some of the newer bikes are very harsh and clunky gear boxes etc. Only thing with the older bikes is the brakes just don’t have the bite. The paint feels really thick and I can’t find any corrosion bring on some winter riding.

    He's actually sent me a floor plan so I can re-design his lounge room!:D

    You must be re-designing your own Nigel, to make room for the Trumpet and R1M

    The easiest way is...
    On phone: take a screenshot and then use that
    On windows: use paint (start|run|mspaint) and use the 'resize' option

    Yes, that's a breeze, but so many use only phones now. Being an old codger, and having gone backwards to the reliable Windows 10, I use 'Paint' extensively for reduction by 50%. Can also crop out cat cushions to stop you lot from taking the 'P' out of me!:):);)

    If I’m on a puter then MS office has an old program called Microsoft Office Picture Manager, funnily enough. You can choose the size you want to reduce your photos down to. They don’t offer it now in their new 365 or 2016 (or whatever the current is). You can still find it as a download inside some of the other MS stuff :)

    Ha ha Nigel, it wasn’t eBay good old fb selling page, I haven’t seen any of these for under 3k and with a lot more miles, my bargain 750 cost me under 2k from a proper old time biker who told me he wouldn’t be selling if he wasn’t moving to Thailand and if the export tax wasn’t so high it would be going with him. I need to find some room and time to get it up in the air and cover it in acf50 as I am definitely going to use it over the winter

    had that before with HDR pics, you can either get a photo resizer app OR screen shot the picture and upload the screen shot

    edit. My bad, didn’t get to the end of the post prior to commenting.
