I came across a photograph from 1984. It was taken in the front yard of our newly purchased house in Miami. In the picture I'm standing behind my son (age 7) my arms across his small chest and behind us is my 1982 CB 750 Deluxe Honda. I would like to have a picture taken today of both of us (my son is 35 today) in the same pose with the CB 1100 in the rear. It would be an interesting contrast of us then and now. The only thing that will show very little change are the two Hondas. My problem is that I am computer dummy that never learned to use modern computers and cameras and will likely never will. I will keep asking around till I find someone that can help me with the logistics, then when I've done it I will proudly post the picture with the caption "WHAT'S OLD IS NEW AGAIN".

your son is 35? He should know how, ask him. Might I also suggest sending a copy to Motorcycle Classics Magazine with a few words about it.

To get a decent copy of the picture in digital form (what you'd need to post on or to the internet), it needs to be scanned. Many modern fax and copy machines can do this. Many people just take a picture of the picture with their cellphone or digital camera, but the quality is severely lacking. From the scan, the image must be uploaded to an online service like "photobucket.com" - there are many others as well - and from there the image can be posted onto sites like this. It's truly not as difficult as it sounds, and as Ferret mentioned, maybe your 35 year old could help you with the process? We'd all love to see them!

Papa Weely; Thank you for your information. The reason I don't ask my son for help in this matter is because I love him dearly. You see he works as a specialist in these matters, but he has no patience in teaching his dear old daddy in the subject matter. It's the reason he never obtained his pilot's license when he had an instructor and aircraft at his disposal. He was to help with the maintenance in exchange for total use of the aircraft, but alas it was not to be. I recently considered asking him for help installing the luggage rack on the 1100, but I recalled the past encounters and was able to do it minus the mandatory debates. I will find someone that will show me how it's done and it will get done. I adore that boy, but an instructor in things technical he is not!

Hiram, once you overcome the scanning problem (and I'm sure you'll find someone to help you) there's [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1913]this thread on posting pictures on this site. There's also Guth's help page, [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/misc.php?action=help&hid=8]here.
Good luck. I'd like to see the pictures.

Hiram, I don't know how you'd feel about doing it, but if you want to send me the picture, I'd be happy to scan it and transfer it onto my photobucket account. You could either download that onto your computer and post it, or I could then just post it up for you, keeping you out of the technical circle altogether!
Just a thought - just send me a private message here if you'd like to pursue that route.
