i hope im getting this right...
« on: November 04, 2008, 07:59:57 PM »
hey everyone,  im volkswagen dan.  the volkswagen title was given to me years ago after owning over 50 air cooled vws over the past 17 years.  long story short, i got kinda board with vws and got sucked into motorcycles. after bouncing around from one bike to another i bought my first honda.  it was a sweet little cb 350 that i fixed up and rode the hell out of. the next year i got an old cb 450, then sold it for a 500. the very next year i sold the 500 for another 450.
then the day came. the day i found my dream bike next to an old gas station.  it was a 750k sohc.
i sold every bike i had to buy it and the parts i needed to build it the way i wanted.
now its almost done.  as soon as i figure out how to post pics and use this sight i'll share it with you.
till then,  ride on!
don't take me too seriously.

You can attach the pics right to your forum posts in the meantime, until you get the gallery sorted.

When you're on the "Post Reply" page, click the "Additional Options" link below the text area, there are options down there for attaching up to 5 pics per forum post.  Pics must be 256K or less to post this way, so downsize some copies if necessary.

You can also use a photo hosting site like Flickr or something, then just link the pics here.

cheers
