Sweet lookin' classic, is that yours Steve? We're talkin' top notch fun per CC here! I enjoy tooling around on my 175's probably more than most of my other bikes.

It doesn't matter what program you use, it's still 175cc.

Anyway Steve...You had mentioned recently you had Windows 7? now. Did you get a new computer for Christmas or did you upgrade the old one (XP) to Windows 7. I know you used Microsofts Image Resizer PowerToy on your old XP system. So now I guess you are using the 'Paint' program in Windows 7 to resize pics? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Resize-a-picture-using-Paint or are you still able to use the MS PowerToy for resizing on Windows 7? Also the format on PhotoBucket image posting has changed a lot and even easier to use. I am still using XP until the day comes when they quit automatic updates, downloads,etc. on it all together. It's just a matter of time until that happens. Oh yeah...like Paul said...trying to resize the bike with a program/software didn't work. I guess you will have to do it the hard way. _________________ _________________________________

Thanks for the reply guys. First, ha-ha it is still a 175cc it did not get resized. Next, dort500 the powertoy program only works with Windows XP which is a bummer because I LOVE just right clicking then picking the size then it stores it in the same file as a new pic name. Bummer, can you find the same thing for Windows 7. I found one close but not quite. I hate having to save to a different file folder and then moving pics all over. Any help would be appreciated. Yes I finally broke down and got a 4GB laptop with webcam!! _________________ You only go around once in life, but if you do it right, once is enough!

Story on this one is it was covered in oil big time. I figured head gasket, base gasket, timing cover gaskets, etc. but after decruding I noticed it had the wrong spark plugs in it that would not let the plug seat in the head. Got the correct plugs and carefully threaded them in with care and the thing runs sweet and does not leak. Cool! Some people just are not mechanical period. _________________ You only go around once in life, but if you do it right, once is enough!

I don't know of anything offhand except for the resizer for 7 via that link I posted above and other sources on the internet that I am not sure I would feel safe using/downloading. It does, at a glance of the tutorial video on that page, look like a little more of a hassel than the PowerToy you had been using on your old XP system. Then again, there might be some shortcuts you can use not shown in the video...I dunno...just keep messing around with it and you might figure out some faster steps. Maybe others can chime in on it. Glad you got a new laptop. Have fun and don't spill anything on it. _________________ _________________________________
