thanks, John. But I just can't seem to get photos to appear in the text. I wanted to try to get pics posted, not the url address, etc. i thought that by starting a community and loading them there, I could transfer the whole thing.
I've read the tips about setting up something with my provider, but that's not feasable."Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mechanic!' ('Bones' McCoy)

Thanks for the tip, Ken. Shall try photo bucket.
Story: After I threw my soon to be "ex" out of the house, I put the word out that I wanted to buy a motorcycle. My brother found a nice 1979F for $500; 'course, it was by him in Colorado. Had the rear end out of my Blazer, so took the Plymouth Champ. Took off the rear tire, the exhaust, drained the fluids, and removed the battery.(broke the side cover tab, not knowing about the key thing)
Layed it down on a sheet of plywood, and winched the whole thing into the back seat.
Used an engine hoist to get it out and had it runnin' by the end of the day.
Was four years ago. Now have three, plus two 850's, three 650's, and a Suzuki GS850 donated by my ex wife's husband, probably as an appeasement offering of some sort. (Seems I "may" once have offered to snap his neck for him, or gut him like a fish... For legal reasons, I can't remember exactly what I said, if I said anything at all, you understand)
Plan to use the photos next time someone whines about finding a great XS but has no way to get out there and bring it back home."Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a mechanic!' ('Bones' McCoy)
