I can see your point , Rick .

I suppose I can still make the switch .
If you , or anyone else , run across any of my posts/threads that need image updates , please bump them or let me know and I'll fix them .

And , eliminating 'clutter' is probably a good idea .

Pete . :)

I wanted to see if anyone was going to update their pictures, but it seems unlikely.  I follow another forum, and only 1 person there has updated anything either.  A lot of the people that posted several years ago do not even come here any longer, so we can count them out.

Maybe if you published a notice on the home page about the 'situation' ( make very noticeable ) . A few might make their posts / threads right .

Rick S. I so appreciate the work you do on this site. Posting photos direct here is extremely easy compared to some forums as is navigating...great work!  Rick C.

I've been starting to get things ready for the road , as we'll be heading South West in a few weeks .

I did get a few of the Rockport rusted spots cleaned up on the bike , but , it still needs a lot of work to be decent .

This site has been slow lately . I guess everyone is getting ready for the road . ;)

I did a little more cleaning and a bit of paint happened .
The bike starts every time , with the aid if my drill . :(

Once we get 'settled' in Az. for a while , I have Wayne send a new piston and rings to see if I can up the compression .
I'm pretty sure low compression is my main problem and if it isn't , at least, I'll have eliminated that possibility .

I'm getting short on time , as we'll be motoring toward the Mexican border by this time next week .
It's only in the mid 50s today and predicted to be in the mid 30s tonight . BRRR . Too dang cold for my liking , anymore .

Heading all the way to the Valley this Winter Pete?

A little farther west . We might even dare set foot inside of California .
My wife's aunt lives in Queen Creek , just outside Phoenix . She has been after us to visit for the last 7 - 8 years .
So , we'll do the Southwestern U.S. until the Spring of '19 . Then head to Michigan for a Summer long visit .
Those are the general plans anyway .
