RE: Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

Wait until you hear it next time LOL

Actually, looking at the telling Cormanus linked to and the one I just told, the only difference is who sat in the front. I thought I sat in the front which is how I originally told it, but when retelling it here, I thought, Stocky was taller than I was, it would only make sense for the shorter guy to have gotten in the back, which was me, as it was a 2 door car. To tell the truth at this point I can't remember who sat in the front and who sat in the back (although I still believe it was me). Other than that, the tale is how I told it.

Through barren fields and frozen lakes leads my ride today with the CB on a cold and windy sunny Februar Sunday. The Honda passes 70.000km on the trip on its speedometer. After 8 years of riding still a lovely machine without any problems.

Really like your photos Wisedrum, but this is not up to your usual technical quality?

RE: Let's see your CB1100 out on the road!

Installed and use a nearly new Samsung Smartphone S21 instead of my old S9. Don't know, should be better photos, I wonder.

To post photos here I have to compress them hard and downsize 4MB pics to the maximum allowed size of 240kb. I think this causes the lack of your mentioned quality, if it's that what you mean. Now more than before. Don't know how to handle it in the future to prevent original good looking pics from looking too bad after I posted them here with compression. The loss of quality is obvious. Any tips?

Your picture does look grainy Wisedrum. I take my Photo and open it with "Paint" on my Windows PC and resize. In this example my original photo is 4.14MB, just resize, I chose 15% and saved as a renamed JPEG in the save options. Right mouse click to check the new properties and it is now a 151KB picture with good enough clarity for a furm website.

I like this picture, Wisedrum. It has a very Van Gogh quality to it.

Here's another photo shot on the same sunday with my new S21 in the dawn. I hope it doesn't look grainy too with a lot of compression for the forum.

That is a great photo showing off the beauty of the 4 into 1 system.

It looks smoother Wisedrum.

This is truly a detailed image Wisedrum. Yes, it is challenging to compress for native storage in the CB1100 database. Here is a kick at the can at under 250 kBs ...
