Can anyone tell me what software I can use to change the resolution of my photos, so that I can post them here? Thanks in advance.

Picasa from Google works well and it's free.

The software that came with my Kodak camera has a re-size function.

You can also just open a free account at photobucket.com and post any size/resolution picture you want without having to do anything to it.

Get Irfanview.  It's free to download.  Great all around viewer and then some. 

Plus it re-sizes.  You can also change resolution or quality.  That reduces file size without making the picture smaller.  The limit on posting is based on file size, not photo size.

Open it up in paint and save it as a jpeg.
I don't have a motorcycle, sold it ('85 Yamaha Venture Royale).  Haven't had a CB750 for over 40 years.
