RichBrowne- Welcome and CONGRATS. There is no feeling like getting back on 2 wheels. Riding is just something that gets into your soul, and it never goes away. Best wishes on many happy miles ahead. Oh, and "let the mods begin", of course

Tim- chill brother- relax, enjoy the forum. everyone here is a fellow rider like you. there is basic etiquette to follow in all forums. I've been out of line a few times myself and fellow members will always politely let you know. No one here will typically bug you about something without a legit reason.

Tim- Go into your control panel user settings area, there's a menu to add a signature and an avatar. on both of those you can upload a smaller photo of your bike like what you see on my posts.

Tim, sorry if I came on a little strong. The posting of large photos, repetitively, is considered bad etiquette because:

- It makes the page load very slowly for any member on a low bandwidth WiFi connection

- It is customary to show off your bike via fullsize photos only
(a) one time and/or
(b) when someone asks you to do so because they want to see one or more features, and/or
(c) when you are trying to make a point that the photo illustrates

Posting the same fullsize photos repetitively can send the wrong messages, such as:
- My bike is a fancier model than yours
- I have more money than you do to spend on my bike
- I think my bike is the prettiest bike

I doubt you intended it in any of those ways, but as you can see from the responses from more than one other forum member, it can rub people the wrong way.

Don't apologize bro, no need to. Not sure why some members here got their panties in a knot about the pics you posted?


I hope they are in approval now of the size of your pictures.

While you're waiting ,,,,, . its the Metzeler . I run a Dunlop E3 in 250. I've not compared the two personally but from what I've read here, the nominal difference between the Dunlop 250 and the Metzeler 260 is greater than the actual difference in width. Any !! tire runs better than the OEM Dunlop, even the E3,,, by a lot !

On the standard BO's there are no mods etc. You just put em on.
