obriens65 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 This is the NEW MEMBERS welcome section. This is where you let us know who you are and maybe a little bit about yourself. After you've done that and we've all had the opportunity to say hi you might want to post your questions in the workshop section. You'll be surprised how many more replies you get that way. And by the way, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewElvisFan Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Ditto what Obriens said. Also bear in mind that this is a bikers forum - ie if the sun is shining we're probably riding! There is also a project section on here which although I have no means (time or money!) I find very interesting. Why not share what you're doing with loads of pics. If you're struggling with photo bucket there is a help section which should be of use to you. I use Tapatalk cos my phone is quicker than my laptop and uploading pics is instant!
