I'm really not sure where this thread is going or what its about In the words of a very unstable politician here, "Please Explain" I do have to get some sleep, but as for an explanation, it would fill a book. Let’s just assume we are all being serious then take my word for it that I can post words but not pictures, so if anyone viewing this can read then you will find that it does say that in the texts I have printed. I have a phone that can make phone calls and send texts, that’s it, the wife on the other hand has every resource available to her but as she is busy our lives sometimes only overlap slightly and she may not have time to do this supposedly small thing of posting pictures on this forum as it’s not something either of us have done. Yes, I have extensive use of this iPad but can only do so much, and that’s not much. If before she disappears again it is possible for her to use her phone to take some pics and text them to mark who has kindly pm’d me his mobile number then he should receive a text within the hour. As It may still be dark when she leaves then the pics may not be that good but that is tough titties for now.

Hoist as said I’m a bit of a Luddite myself hence I use Tapatalk all you need to do is get the app downloaded onto your iPad set an account for this site and then you can post pics direct. Thanks as well as this has made me giggle and when I said post the f**king pic it was completely tongue in cheek. Veg 👍

Veg 👍 Cheers veg, I too am tongue in cheek but am also no good with the smileys etc. Also peeps and myself have misread things. I can’t go installing tapatalk on this iPad as it’s the wife’s work one and not sure if that’s acceptable, it does say that above in an earlier post. It’s supposed to make people giggle , if it frustrates them then I can’t help that but have tried to explain and it’s like wading through mud. Steve

I'm just having a bit of fun as well. Glad you're a good sport. As said, I use imgbb.com to post pics. It's a free pic hosting site, much like photobucket, etc. No app to download, just go to imgbb.com and sign up for an account. Easy as, even on the wife's work ipad. Take a pic with the ipad. Go to imgbb.com and hit the cloud looking UPLOAD icon Click on the desired pic, and hit the EMBED CODES icon and copy the BBCODE FULL (should look something like this: [ img]https://i.ibb.co/YNJv5xK/EF8-D17-C5-2-AFA-4182-9682-1-F7177-F7-A18-F.jpg[/img] Paste it into your post.

Cheers pdxjim. I have the pic in the iPad but that’s where it remains . If I instal a non-approved app then the I.T. Department will most likely remove it.

Don't think 500 is a racer.. Its got front indicator still attached. Yes, indicators still on it. Only things removed are stand(s) and numberplate ( if it ever had one ) . It looks to have oversized tyres ( to me ). There should have been a pic of an fz750 parked next to the fj that has a tax disc. This would have been pre track days but I can’t remember what the meeting was, something like lord of Lydden. The fz and fj are more track spec but perhaps in the case of the rd it was tolerated, stands removed and sump plug lock wired are the basic requirements. Also I wondered what the sticker is on the front of the fairing.

Have now got an account with imgbb but not much further, it’s also annoying that sometimes what I’m typing is hiding behind the keyboard and throws up what it predicts as the word, I guess some journalists use a similar device and don’t proof read things. Am self taught on a laptop and hate touch screen and this seems to sign in and out of the forum on its own amongst other things, hope it doesn’t start posting for me.

Its a millennials thing.. they are no longer capable of thinking for themf**king selves. Which is why there are predictive things for them. They will have something to replace thinking shortly ..probably available as an "app" or some other bollox... Hold got to dash... my micturate app is telling me (via phone) that I need a waz.

Oh, and everyone’s patience. X . can I put that? At least I stopped putting arsed, sugar, I just did or was it the gremlin.

I did put her on the spot a bit though so she was out of her comfort zone, she is the real medic, my ‘doctor’ is lifted from fawltey towers.

Re the fj and the name marchant on the van, not sure if they were brothers but the names roger and graham ring a bell with me, hopefully my mate still has paperwork from the time and some pointers. It may seem an obscure circuit but strangely I think lydden did a one off British championship round, certainly remember roger Marshall using a tz 750 there which was quite something, don’t think he had much front tyre wear.

Fcukn hell the RD500 still has the long tonguey rear mudguard. Worth about £8g’s today. Carrick Motorcycles Edinburgh also raced a 500 back in the day. Proprietor Russ Manson put a lot of time, effort and money into the local racing scene up here.

Jeff Donovan: Me on the end, dark blue leathers and black bell helmet, can see Graham Marchant, Dave Burford, maybe Dave Pickworth, possibly Giles Waite, and Neil Spalding on second row on katana 1100? Giles Waite: Cheers Jeff, yes I'm no 22 thanks for naming the others, is Steve Bonhomme one of the GpZ900 riders? Simon Bastow: Is that Steve Bonhomme jumping the start Jeff! Giles Waite: That's who I though it was Jeff Donovan: Possibly Steve Bonhomme next to me cant see enough of the other rider with white helmet. Simon Bastow: Must have been Steve's first time out on that bike Joss, it's still got the origional bodywork, I'll have a wild stab at Ian Wilson for number 18 Jeff Donovan: Great picture thats for sure! Giles Waite: My mother found the photo this morning, haven't seen it before even though she reckons she took it? Mind it is nearly 30 years ago! Tim Walker: I remember you on that 500 Giles Waite: Yes wasn't the best choice at the time Tim but had a few good results on it Tim Walker: Didn't you tip off it on the elbow Giles Waite: No never dropped the 500, had a big one down the elbow on 350 Ypvs battling with Dave Ball Eddy Joe Domingues: That Charles Adair on YamFJ.. Martin Sweet: Graham Marchant on the FJ1100 , Is that Neil Spalding on the second row. Now Moto GP Technical gnu!!!
