hey Mike the only thing i noticed was when trying to upload the pics,and trying to select a different format ie:form instead of applet,the black text against the gray background made it almost impossible to read without highlighting it first.
if possible you may want to change the text to a white or something with a little more contrast

yeah I don't like how that looks either. I don't know if I'll be able to hack into that code or not... I guess I'll have to look. I much prefer that application to be on a white background.

I wonder how many folks will hit 'refresh' until they see their own bikes there? hehe.

Useless statistic... we have 3243 pictures in the gallery. It'll take a lot of refreshing.

:ugh:

make your plate your avatar like i did :thumbup:

it'd be neat to see how many folks have "the" plate in their state/country

I have 750PASO and Andre on the list has PASO750.

Note to self: personalized tag registry would be cool too :cool:

Hey Mike! How's it going? I have a site suggestion to make, but first - do you realise the site is going to have 500 members soon? I know we've got to get to 400 first, but it looks like that's going to happen any day now. Holy cow!

OK. I propose we should have something called 'Bike Writing', by which I mean a place where people who feel so inclined could put things like poems they or others have written, so we could read them, or a few words expressing in some hopefully impressive way what their Paso, or just what riding, means to them, or some other kind of good words about riding they've read.

For example, if we had this place, I would put that piece T E Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) wrote about his eyeballs dissolving when he rode his Brough Superiors (eight feet long, 100 mph, no helmet, almost every day) on rough English backroads in the 1930's.

I don't imagine we would get many posts coming in - it might take a year to get two or three - but with a bit of luck it would be good stuff, worth reading again and again. Maybe it could even be put up as a Forum.

Waddaya reckon?
