This post is really a question about putting up photos from a iPad/iPhone there must be a easier way than getting a photo from your album emailing it to yourself in smaller format then saving the image then being able to upload it here as a attachment or maybe there isn't . I used to be able to upload photos to the forum from a normal/big computer( whatever their called) but don't use it anymore

The forum software is being updated to the latest version and works a treat with uploading pictures and video links. Soon grasshopper, soon.

Well I thought I'd give this latest version a go
Still have to go through making the photos lower quality by emailing photos to yourself etc, I don't know if I'm going about that the right way, but yes it's a bit easier Thanks
Here's a few photos of my 49

I'm falling in love with this Fantic 300, I bought it in very good original condition and it runs like a swiss watch, plus it's not that hard to get used to after coming off a modern GG other than the ordinary brakes. I removed all the good original parts like kickstarter, gearlever, rear brake pedal, sidestand etc and put them aside in storage. I replaced all these parts with alloy bling from Delay in Spain (http://www.delaytrial.com), they are awesome with their service,they also have a lot of Honda spares and bling. Ada is the man to help you. I did lots of other mods to the Fantic also, mainly replacing every bush/bearing/ brake pad and upgrading the suspension with Magicals Products. I did not touch the sweet running motor other than a complete refurb of the Dellorto. Pic attached.

Very smart Fantic there Rod, they had a reputation of being very firey here in the UK back in the day,even the 240 was considered plenty enough for most. Good bike though,I think many used extra base gaskets and or head gaskets to calm them down a bit. if you can master and enjoy it fair play to you, the 212cc 241mono I bought new in 1987 was plenty in terms of power back then, now I think it would be too much !

Hi Jon, I can see how they might have been considered fiery back in the day but I've been riding a 2014 GG 300R for the past 2 years which can be a real handful for a 54 yo that got back into the sport after 20 odd years away. The Fantic is a pleasure to ride.
