Welcome Steve.

Sounds like you have an awesome cruiser there. In regards to posting pics, most of us around here have set up a Photobucket account (www.photobucket.com). It is probably the easiest way to upload photos to the internet.

Can't wait to see some pictures and more specs of the old girl.

Default Hi from Jenwren

Hi Folks,

I dont know a great deal about cars but my partner (TURBOTAXI) encouraged me to join. All I know is you put the gas in the foot down and they go fast. I drive the au turbo most of the time - and beat the XR6 Turbo when they are head to head!

I like horses, country living, good wine and pretty things (TURBOTAXI is the exception - he 'aint pretty)

As a lady I dont like playing with cars too much, but I do my own fluid checks at my partners insistance. Its his job to actually do maintenance.

Anyone else like horse riding? I have a couple of horses here to play with, though I dont get much time for riding between kids and work.

I used to ride with my partner on the back of his bikes and enjoyed that too, but it has been a while. He has a new bike now so maybe we can do that again.

Anyway just wanted to say hi and get posting (to shut him up) so HI!

Jen
