Rokon ready for adventures
« on: March 10, 2016, 06:44:33 PM »
 Well after aligning the wheels with the frame and making a bushing to lean the bike 5/8ths of an inch away
from the hack,  I now have the machine handling the way it should.
 I welded up a carrier for the bustle for a light weight wheelchair, and some mounts for a 4 gallon auxillary
 tank on the side of the hack.  It is a rotopax tank, very strongly made and hangs there like part of the hack.
  Give me a few minutes to retrieve some photos from the net so I can show it off.

  When I posted, all the pictures were there.  I even saw them when I later looked in.  I have no idea what changed.

  For 2 days now I had no internet service from Oceanic time warner.. This happens a lot.
 I'll try to do the photos again.

 
 
 

 Hey, when I reposted photos on this post, they re-appeared on the original post too.
 It is as I suspected.  The whole program runs on PFM.

I've seen it and it exists.  Happen to run into Sasquatch at the bank before registration and his house after he started work on his rig.

can anyone explain why Jim's pic don't show up at all on Firefox? I have allowed pop ups to WG in preferences..
when I open this thread in Safari little photo icons show up where the pic should be and I can open them in a new tab?

other threads with pics open fine, not a big deal but I'd like to understand why.
my first guess is they are hosted on a windows only site..

  And so after a day or so the pictures again turn into little squares again. It even did that to the picture of the girl in my post before this.
 I won't bother to post any more photos.

 I have been posting the photos exactly as I always have.  I'm not the one making them turn into little boxes.
 I see not reason to waste my time with them if they just go south every time.

Can he try to post the pic without using bikepics? I tried to open pic on my tablet and get a hot link not allowed by the bikepics site error page.

I think it has less to do with the particular posting of the pictures so much as a failing at some other level since Jim's avatar is not coming through either.
