Got to agree with you there.
Pictures are kinda small and can't tell what you are trying to show on the right one.

Its the back tire yeah the images have to be 250 kb so re sizing makes them so small to post in the forum. I don't like thatThe ferret_imp said:

Looks like one"fat" tire, maybe an Avon, and a carbon fiber chain guard?

Doug, if you use a photo hosting site your pics will be hi def. Most here use imgur.

Cormanus is the man to ask for details, but it works for PCs
I use photobucket, but it isn’t free. For them, you upload your pic, copy the link they list, then paste it into your post on the board. When you hit post reply, your post will show the pic, not the link. If wanted, users can click on your pic and it will show from imgur, or photobucket. And you can expand it real big. Thats how some of us notice the little things on your bike, or in your garage!
Doug, yes, the link is viewable. And hi def!

Nice touch with the old postcard look.
Doug,
Infranview is image display and manipulation software. Imgur, photobucket, postimage are all web-based sites to which you can upload photos. You can share links directly with people or through bulletin boards like this. Some other photo hosting sites like Google, Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive allow you to share, but to link from boards.
Check out max’s tutorial on using Imgur http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=12717
By the way, from a user perspective, using a photo hosting site is preferable to reducing the size of the image and uploading it. First because the quality is better and you can link to a higher resolution image. Secondly, because some manage to reduce the image file size without reducing the image dimensions which makes some pages irritatingly difficult to read.

For short rides I always have my favourite circuit through downtown and then out on to the freeway for a lively short sprint, then settle back on calm side roads.

My shortest rides are no less than 70 km, and only twice shrank to 30 km due to heavy wind and rain..

Photo file size
An image of 800x600 is ideal for forum use, and if saved as .jpg with compression fitting for the web presentation (level 6 or so in most image manipulation programs) it will typically be at most 150Kb.Lord Popgun_imp said:

My short rides are typically bounded by poor or very cold weather. Sometimes I plan for a normal ride, but quickly convert to the short circuit ride because of unexpected bad weather, or I forgot a piece of critical cold weather garment that I thought I wouldn't need. :dodgy:peterbaron_imp said:

my shortest one way is always minimum 20-25 km for a coffe by my dealer.....and after again back....for my understanding: not total backroads but too not urban...

My personal minimum for a ride is 30 miles, even if conditions are horrible
... hot, cold, windy, raining, snowing, dark (all part of the experience for me)...however sometimes under extenuating circumstances I don't ride that far. Like last year, I took a ride when it was -2F and I only rode 25 miles. That was plenty that day lol.
If dropping a bike off for service at my local dealer that is going to require an overnight stay, I might only get in 10 or 11 miles that day although that is pretty rare. Once a year maybe.
If I ride 300 days in a year, 297 of those rides will be over 30 miles.

My shortest is about 1.5 miles, down to the lake to see what legs are showing. Perfect for the Monkey. After I get my fill and grab a cone at the Baskin-Robbins, I take the long way home, about six miles.

I actually draw a certain line on "hot", that is, hot and profuse humidity and where traffic congestion is unavoidable. If I need to arrive somewhere (e.g. like a work place, or client) and need not smell like urinatic acid of a cyclist or runner (or some biker who may never wash their jacket/liners), and not be greased down by sweat, then the helmet/CB thing does not work. Maximum carbon footprint A/C cage is the way to go.The ferret_imp said:
In regards to cold, hard rain, not a problem if part of the plan - in fact it is enjoyable away from traffic. However, I would never choose to optionally ride in such conditions if not necessary. Have well enough experience and fortunate to have the luxury to choose. Maybe more meaningful, the partner may not approve while I am still able to work.

lol it's different when you retire and no longer have to meet clients, or bosses or anyone but your wife when you get home from your ride.
