Deej, and BeenThere, save yourself a couple steps by just copying the IMG code (the last one in your list) then all you have to do is paste it in the reply box. DONE!! Try it, you'll like it!

Link to see picture I've tried to post. I'll figure out what I'm doing wrong later. I think the picture might be too large. I'm also working on an iMAC which I'm not yet all that familiar with.

Well I'll be d....d. It posted this time. Huh.

Yeah Deej, the mountain button is obsolete when using photobucket. Where have you been?

Sheesh..... All this time......so many clicks wasted. Thanks man!. That will speed up my ride reports quite nicely. So you can teach an old dog new tricks. He might not remember them, but he can learn them nonetheless.

Dude,
Why did you sell your KLR650?

Welcome to the KF.

The advantage when using the mountain button and the direct link is the picture appears before you post the reply.
No biggie I guess.

SlapDrum, I sold the KLR650 because I couldn't pick it up when I dropped it, which I did 7 times during the year I had it. Mostly dropped it when loosing my footing when stopped, or nearly stopped, in dirt. One moving drop was in a rock slide on a trail, and another in sand.

Anyway, I decided it was time to move down to a lighter weight dual sport that I could pick up by myself. Really like the KLX so far.

You must not have been using the proper technique.

CBH, been there, tried that. With my 77 year old arthritic knees I'm lucky if I can get myself back up from that squat position, let alone the bike. Funny thing is I was able to pick up my son's DR650 by just bending over like most people do to pick up their lighter bikes.
