Paul, when you are at your photobucket page, look to the right side for the different codes listed for your photo you have selected. Put your cursor over the one titled "image code" and click on it. It should say "copied"
Then come back here to the page you want the photo displayed on and simply paste the code into your reply.
The photo should now appear in your post prewiew and will come up when you post it up.

Hi Guys
I appreciate your comments and Bourke could be a real possibility next year.  I have put a couple of photos on photobucket but can't figure out how to get them into this forum.  I work at the Mile End Bunnings and live at Marleston so that's not far from Cooper at Clearview, more than happy to catch up work etc permitting.  My mbl is 0419843130
Cheers Paul

Welcome aboard, Paul. I wish I'd owned mine since new. I bet it'd have a few stories to tell in its life. Reckon you'll be up for a chinwag in May next year?? Can't wait to see some photos.

Hi Guys,
When I figure out how to post some pics I will that's for sure.  My bike is an E model, June 78 on the compliance plate, I'm not sure how long it had been in the showroom in Darwin, but when I bought it on 4th Jan 79 it had about 400kms on the clock.  Due to some of the locations I have worked in the NT and elsewhere it hasn't had a lot of use and although I have travelled across the country a few times it still has only about 80,000kms on the clock.  It is not stock standard as I have been running it with a La Parisienne full fairing since about 1980, in the early nineties I fitted a 4 into 1 exhaust, which now prevents me from using the bottom half of the fairing. It feels good to get it back on the road.
Cheers Paul

Hi Guys, my name is Paul, I live in Adelaide I have owned my XS since January 1979, I have recently put it back on the road after a seven year layoff.  I have been fortunate in having Malcolm Pitman assisting me, so I am very confident in the work that has been done.  I look forward to many more enjoyable rides around the country and catching up with like minded people in this forum.  Cheers for now.
