Just Rode In

[Roy Bean]

I signed on the site but didn't get the comformation letter so here i am finally.
My name is Roy and i like to ride and work on bikes. I picked up a 1100 maxim a couple of month ago and just got it home last week. I had to pull the carbs and get the crud out and charged the battery. It fired on the third try. I took it for a short ride. It need a lot of work and from reading the discussions i think this is the right place to get the bike in good shape. Tires and fork sliders are my first order of business.
I'll post a picture as soon as i become familar with the site. Roy

Hi ya Bean...

Think he was born in Kentucky too.

pics would be nice

[Roy Bean]

No relations to Da Judge. I had a neighbor that called me Judge Roy Bean and thought i would use that moniker here.
I'll have to get my daughter to teach me to post pics. If i try myself i'll just get high blood pressure or something. Roy

Here is trying to post a picture. Well maybe later. My daughter found me to be a poor student. Roy

Will this work?

Yep it worked but there is room for improvement. Use the IMG listing. Pretty XJ I might add

Under the pictures in photo bucket there are several choices of info strings. Copy the bottom one that includes IMG on both ends. Paste that into the text of your post and the image appears

Oh, I thought i wasn't suppose to post pics on the board.
I'll try one from AMA Vintage Days in Ohio. Over 1000 vendors last year. I reserved my motel room today for this years event.

Hi Roy,

If you post up the photobucket link, the photo is not stored on the site; it just takes us straight to your pic in photobucket!

You got it sorted out a lot quicker than I did!

Welcome!

"Monkey, MRO."

That's M O N K E Y.

Roy, yes sometimes it's hard to figure out how to do things on this site. It takes a while.
Luckily, Wingnut stepped forward to help you get over the hump.
(Maybe he can now also help that little Cocker Spaniel in the photo to get over hers.)
Hey Wingnut, next time spray 'em with the hose or something before you have pictures taken.
Sort of distracting... to animal lovers like MRO.
