There is so much content all in one place, maybe you could work up a way without messing up your work to allow posting on individual photos? It's overwhelming. You know how we do with Rup's stuff, post and repost..comment and cuss..What a great problem to have. You just made the format better and I'm looking for more Tongue

Good stuff as always. My favorite weekly feature by a long shot (took a lot of maturity and self control to not drop a GL reference there)

Really like the new format, and as always, the material.

Guyb, does the track announcer travel to each round? In other words, is it the same guy?
Regardless, whomever it was at Southwick sounded a lot like Erv. Uncanny almost. Is it just me?

Like the new format, way smoother. Love the kawi pegs.

I like the newer format over the frustratingly janky "swipe left fmf or the next pic". Although it that is a shitload of photos in one post.

Congrats, this joins the Social Scoop in "things on vital that are worth clicking on"

+1 for the new format and it's ease of use. Pics looked better too.

I found the old format to slow and ponderous to thumb thru ... love the new format ... much quicker.

The welding is impressive on this foot peg.




Can anyone explain why this is the proper mounting of the pivot. I would think you would want the head up, so if the cotter key fell out, it would stand a chance of staying in place.

Only thing I can think of is that the other end is flat, and won't snag on anything like the split pin could.

In theory that pin should never fall out if the split pin is bent round like it is.

A-Mart's footpegs are crazy!

Especially compared to the Kawi pic.

So you can take the pin out wothout removing the brake pedal or engine cover.

New format is far better. Only nit I have is if you could make the picture a bit smaller so the caption fits in the same frame. I'm on a 27" monitor and the picture and caption don't fit on the same screen. And when you click on a picture the picture pops open as being smaller then what you clicked on. I think this should be opposite. Smaller picture in the main view and if I want larger I can click and pop open the larger version.

Love the single page format! Good job!
