There's nothing like your first ride after the bike has slept for so many years, well done.

Hi well done with the bike, you may have a problem attaching pictures on a forum guest thingy?? Just see if you have an options / upload attachment button just under the message window when you write your message. If you have then you can, just click on it, a "choose file" button will then show, click on it and choose a picture stored on you PC, then click add file. You can attach up to 3 pictures on each message and they must be under 256 KB each.
