Re: Forum Issues

Not as far as I know. Previously there was an automatic image resize mod installed that limited the max size of an image. Currently there is something similar that automatically resizes the image to fit the screen if it's too big, but it will allow the image to be as big as possible on any given sc...

Re: Forum Issues

Did the image resize code previously work ? I though it did. I tried it now and it doesn't for me. :HeadScratch: {url} I can only get full size to work. ..or did I do it wrong?

Re: TNM calls for Texit...after Brexit.

I don't think Mexico could take Texas. Other issues would come in though. Its just not a great idea all in all. I agree not a great idea, but interesting to play with though. So would the Texas illegals from Mexico rise up to support Mexico from within?...or skedaddle across the Red River to stay i...

Re: Stuff on craigs list

You know, that means that the troll was in the car and there is probably left over proof of that troll inside the car, as well. Maybe, but the troll appears to be still in car seat age so that might limit the proof area to a smaller section of the car. However, did anyone notice that fist gear is q...

Re: Two ol' farts screw up a trip

Well for breakfast (or dinner for that matter) I prefer them to Denny's, but my favorite sit down B'fast is IHOP. However most CBs have bike friendly parking and a good window view of the lot so one can keep an eye on their stuff and an eye out for who ever they are meeting there. Butch ate at home ...

No, Butch and I find that fairly level gravel is our limit on the C14s with our short stumpy legs, so we stayed on pavement. I've never been down there on the dirt roads, but even when I was in the area with a dual sport bike I didn't really want to as I didn't think that there was a much better vie...

Nope, I don't have what it takes, but I would like to help support the club. When I first went to a bike night and and then on a club ride, I was very impressed with the club.

Two ol' farts screw up a trip

A friend of mine (Butch) and I, planned an 8 day trip to Colorado. The details are below, but some of you are busy so I'll summarize here. We didn't get to do what we planned and between fear and unpreparedness mixed with family drama we shortened our trip by eliminating 3 of the best days. Skip th...

Not sure if that's what you're saying here grouped with those other photos of him, but I don't think that is Steve McQueen.
It is a Husky, and he rode one, but I think it's maybe... Malcolm Smith in that photo?

Re: Texas Drivers: the most inconsiderate in the US?

My feeling is...pass if you are going to pass...don't dilly dally...just do it. Have you ever exceeded the speed limit passing in a passing zone on a two lane highway? You wouldn't set your cruise for 5 over, get into the opposing lane of traffic, and pass at that pace so you won't get pulled over....

Again, there are too many varied opinions as to what "good driving" is, and some of it may be right here among us. Let's say I'm caged and have my cruise control set over the speed limit (limit+5MPH) at what I feel is a safe speed for avoiding a speeding ticket; and I pull out into the lef...
