    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Pic of the week game

Being the 24th day of the fourth month, how about 4 as the theme.

Thunderbirds by Roger, on Flickr


(Ok, the date really has nothing to do with this pic. I was just trying to come up with a theme.)
 
... Edited post number 7700 and added the original if anyone is interested to see the comparison. Did it make it better or take from it?

FWIW, I like the richer, more saturated and punchier original image. And the bike still stands out. A fine pic.
 

Don't know anything about the mobile app.
I use the Lightroom Classic version. https://www.adobe.com/products/phot...UEL6gS86gNUtOSaYKq47TI_fnyeTqCBwaAg59EALw_wcB

But Adobe only sells this on a subscription basis these days.
I still have a standalone version, but am trying the new one for a year.

Big can of worms here. There are several different options beyond Adobe.
On1, Exposure X6, DxO, Affinity Photo, to name some of the ones I have and use.
And there are others. Most offer 30 day demos.

I know Sandy and Cowboyup also use Lightroom.
Also, dorkburger, Redman, and I are part of this forum, which has a lot of photo development talk: https://www.mu-43.com/forums/

Feel free to email or PM me if you have questions.

It's funny, most things on this bike are heavy duty but the tail light unit was about the cheapest plastic POS I've ever seen. The front brake switch failed causing the bright brake light to stay on. That melted the bulb housing and left me without any tail light for a night ride down a busy road. I had no idea til I got home. I installed this integrated tail light unit that I found on the webs. Very nice.
 
Here's an oldie. Back to the '80s. Me and my FZ lost and lovin' it somewhere on the California coast and also that's the 750EF I ended up with some 30 years later.

Okay cool. I have had four Suzuki GS motorcycles;
1982 GS 550 L
1982 GS 1100 GL
1985 GS 700 E
1983 GS 650 GL

My original plan was the four slices
but I thought I'd include the original of each in a collage.

Four
