Nice looking scoot!

Tell me how when you get it working like you want it. Also where do the US maps with color-in capabilities come from?

Thanks - 2002 Midnight Venture I picked up near the end of last season. Only managed a few thousand miles in the fall. Hope to put 20,000+ on it next year - that's a lot of riding when the season (usually) runs from mid-April to sometime in November.

Picture resolution is (unfortunately) a function of the maximum upload size permitted by the forum. I think You can display a higher resolution image if you host the picture elsewhere (i.e. Photobucket or Flickr etc.) and use the "insert image" to link to the host. (I just inserted the picture using this method.) If you click the banner, the full image should open in another window.

 

I remember finding the colored map site somewhere but don't remember where - CRS acting up again! A lot of people use it on this site so I'm sure someone will chime in with the info. If not, try asking at one of the other sections like the Watering Hole.

No problem my friend

I have been using 800x600 with no problem. Dont know if they look any better thou.

My experience with other forums and my limited experience here tells me that the relatively small upload picture is good enough to illustrate something that does not need much detail. The linked picture (linked to a higher resolution picture on a website) allows for a much higher quality image.

 

Something I don't understand is sometimes the high resolution image appears, but more often, you have to click on the top banner of a fairly high resolution "thumbnail" to get the best detail.

That is because of some customization I have done here. The problem was that there would be a whole page of commentary about a subject and then somebody would link a HUGE picture. That would cause all the posts on that page to become very wide and you would have to scroll back and forth within every post to read them. Most people didn't like that. Now people can still link the high res photos and if somebody wants to see the high res version, they simply need to click on the photo's header.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explaination. It is nice to have the option of linking to a high resolution picture but I really like to have the convenience of simply uploading a lower resolution image. The upload also ensures a reduction in the number of dead links as websites change or as people change their on-line picture albums.

Hey Ross. Nice scoot. I knew there were 3 of us around Fredie Beach with a Midnight. 2 of us work on base (retired military) but we never met the third. The 3 of us should get together this summer and do a Midnight only Ride-in LOL.

 

Looking forward to at least meet for coffee when season starts again. I should have mine out end of March for around the block and get it out for the season in early April.

 

Cheers

We should definitely get together once the roads clear!! I would like to think I will get the bike out before the end of March but won't do anything more than around the block until the salt is gone. I don't know if "johnny-canuck" (John Aird) is one of the Midnight Venture riders you know but I have ridden with him a few times. He lives in Fredericton and is in the Fredericton Motorcycle Club also. One other Venture rider in our club as well - not a Midnight but we don't mind too much!
