I would love to ride, but the likelihood is slim to none.   Sounds like a great chance to get out and enjoy some X cessive riding.

Barber is a bit far for a weekend ride but, surely on my bucket list of places to visit. I'd like to just spend 2-3 days there and do nothing but really soak in that collection. It should be a great time.

We had a good turnout and ran into some Xer's at the swap meet. Got a good ride up into Ga. and back down U.S.411 and the trail of tears. The racing was neat. The Museum was spotless with a lot of rules for the whole property.

Yahoo sucks. For the 37th time, I have to reset my password because it keeps logging me out, I have to reset the password and it demands ever-more-insane password rules. It's harder to stay logged into Yahoo than it is to learn how to post pictures here.

All anybody needs to do is resize them before posting. Others could share their pictures and story in the same thread. None of that is possible on Yahoo. Your great pictures are reduced to just being pictures, with no caption, no back story, nothing. Sorry to sound like I'm whining but, it's good stuff and posting it on Yahoo greatly limits who can see it and who it will reach. It's just a dead-end.

Ride reports could look like this:
http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/barber-vintage-festival.1084735/page-2

Or this:
http://www.ehforums.com/ehwebsite/forums/index.php?topic=226.0

Or this:
https://superxblog.wordpress.com/
(you've obviously done it, except others can't participate on a wordpress blog like they can here)

Here's a handy-dandy picture resizer and it's free.
http://jpeg-optimizer.com/

Select the picture you want to upload, set the compression to 25 and the width to 1000 (good settings for this forum) and click "Optimize Photo." When it's done, it will show you the resized picture. Save that to your computer, then upload it to this forum.

This is a 4.5 megabyte image that I just did that exact thing to. It went from 4.5 megs to 75kb.  It took under a minute.
