A small favor to ask

Thanks for all the comments. I'll make an adjustment to the width of the layout. I forget that some people may not have a large screen or wide screen. I myself have not used a screen with less than 1280 pixel width in a very long time. Not quite as long as it's been since I made my last web site from scratch (the BLINK tag had just come on the scene), but still a long time. I even have my parents set up with 1280x1024, but I did increase the font and icon size. But since it appears that approx 37% of internet users are still using 1024x768, I will make the change. I will put in some sort of border to mark the transition between sections and brighten the text up.

I'm on windows xp and there's a big problem. There's all these bikes listed, but no pictures. Fix that and you'll have yourself somethin'!

I have IE7 with Win XP, and all I get is a black page with some red letters. All the links to the left seem to work though.

I have a black thumbnail and what I think is a a zit behind my left ear, its red anyway. I don't have XP but I know I have an XS. Is this a oil thread?

Internet Exploder 8, Vista, Comcrap hi-speed over here. Site seems to work properly. Clicking on thumbnail pics, large pics take a while to load.

Hey Kevin,

More feedback. Like Phil said, the actual full sized pix take waaaaaay too long to load up, even though we are on high speed cable access, YOUR ISP and web server may not provide that fast of a bandwidth!?

Your full images are only 1500 x 1000 pixels, but they are in PNG format, not JPG format, and UNLESS you wanted someone to be able to print the images....like family shots for relatives, then you'll want to RESIZE them down a bit....ie. 1024 x 768 max, and use JPG format, with about 75% quality, or is that 75% compression?? Anyways, you shoudl be able to get those down to a few hundred K bytes in file size vs. the 2+ MB that they are now!

Keep at it, looking better every day!

Ya, I'll convert to to jpeg format on the images. At the moment, the site is hosted at home so the website is sharing with all my other usage. Once all the photos are in jpeg, I'll see if I'll be able to fit everything on my ISP allotment of web space, or search out a decent cost effective (read:free) host.


Joe: I like the XS750 as well. It is the one that gets the most looks as well as brings on the most confused questions. About 90% of the people think it sounds "almost like a twin but not quite" the remainder feel it sounds " like a 4 banger missing on one cylinder". It is definitely the meanest sounding of all my bikes.
