Title: LIKEing Alabama in the winter.
Post by: klaviator on February 13, 2023, 03:20:46 AM: I had somewhere to go this morning. It was 41, gloomy and had just stopped raining so the roads were wet. Drive or ride?? Now that's a stupid question. Which of my five bikes to ride? For around town I like my Like the best. Despite the weather it was a pleasant ride. Coming home a couple of hours later it was a pleasant sunny 49 degree day. Perfect for a ride.

I felt like getting high so I briefly got on the interstate to get to this overlook.

It wasn't very high but still has a good view.

I think I'd have to get a little higher to do that!

Glad someone enjoyed a day on the scooter. All I was up for was some walking.

Post by: CROSSBOLT on February 20, 2023, 07:01:44 PM: Look about 160 miles northwest and there I am! Great pictures! I must wait for at least high 50's and dry before scootin' boots.

I grabbed the ADV scooter tag here:

I use SmugMug to host my photos and post from there.

SmugMug is not free. I post thousands of pics every year so it is worth it to me. The 2 forums I am most active on no longer require using a picture hosting site but I find it easier to use SmugMug to organize my pictures. It also means my pics are backed up if something happens to my computer.

Post by: Stig / Major Tom on February 22, 2023, 01:25:48 AM: If I am understanding correctly - the Vespa forum let's you securely add photos to your post. If your photo hoster goes belly up, as two of mine have, your photos don't disappear🙂 If you've used their forum photo mechanics.
