Hey were you in Milwaukee in 2003 for the Harley 100th party?

We couldn't get close so stayed 100 miles away until the day after
when we "camped" at the fair grounds. That's where I took this photo
of my neighbor's ride.

I thought a big guy like you would ride something like this instead of
that wimpy Harley.

Nope, but I bought the 100th anniversary Road King.

I considered a V-Rod but that wimpy Harley keeps
me out of trouble. :-)

The closest I've come to owning a murdercycle was when I owned some HD
stock. Unfortunately, I sold it way too soon.

When I was riding my former bro-in-law's big Yamaha and a car pulled
out in front of me and I laid the bike down, I decided I had all the
cycling thrills I needed for a lifetime.

I also lost two ham buddies in the same accident when they were on
their way to Sturgis one year.

Be careful.

But Mom, that's no fun and so far I am immortal.
I was broad sided by a Porche in CA in the early
80's while riding my Kawasaki Z1B. I wasn't wearing
a helmet and landed on my head on the pavement.
Moral: Being hard-headed has its advantages. :-)

That's a beautiful machine, Cecil, but why did it take five minutes to download?

Funny, I go to the web page and it's just antenna stuff, no Harley.
Maybe my ISP is over-protecting me or something...

This'll give you a headache - sorry. I didn't even check

Welll, Firefox had an update arrow -- I updated, and now it shows this

Cecil,

You really should reformat that picture for web use. It took me more
time than is needed and I'm on high speed cable.

For quite a while qsl.net has been very slow with everything, although
the download of that picture went pretty fast, considering.

qsl.net is notoriously slow, Walt, presumably due to slow modems.
That .jpg file is less than 200k. I need to do what you did. Who is your
web page supplier and how well are you satisfied with their performance?

You may have my web page cached. Hit the reload button
and see what happens.

The picture has been reformatted as it was originally about
one meg and now it is only 120k. The problem is the slow
modems at qsl.net. One gets what one pays for. I'm considering
doing what Walt did - getting a www.w5dxp.com web page. Does
anyone offer a .ham web page instead of a .com, .org, or .net?

Just don't start thinking about tangled electrons
while you're riding that thing, or you may become one.

I've modified my web page so the 130K JPEG is selectable.
An 8K JPEG thumbnail now comes up on the main page.

Cecil, my web page supplier is 1and1.com, and I'm well satisfied with their
performance. I went to them to obtain the w2du.com domain and the
email address. As I recall, their charge is only about $5 per month fer the
whole shebang. However, I pay Brighthouse $49/mo for cable internet access.
