Me on my bike. Yes, I know im a big guy for a sportbike, but my spare tire doesn’t seem to really be an issue at all.
I don’t know how to convert it into a size suitable for use as an avatar for these forums and I don’t own any photo editing software. My mother took the pic of me with her digital camera and emailed it to me. Any help?

I did a conversion for you. Just right click on the image and save image as and use it in your profile.

I use the gimp on windows, mac, and linux, but it’s a heavy weight program with a lot of features. I don’t personally like how they layout options in their menus and it can be quite confusing for someone just starting out with graphics editing. I’ve had stability issues with the gimp on windows in the past. I don’t use windows much anymore as my main systems at work and home are linux and macos.

btw, CS3 is sort of equally as free as GIMP and way nicer
August 14, 2008 at 2:26 pm #10497JimParticipantI like your Joe Rocket jacket! I got one similar without the white. I love how it breaks down for hot weather.

September 12, 2008 at 2:36 pm #12055WeaponZeroParticipantThe SV650 is known for having one of the lowest seat heights of any bike on the road. I don’t know how it compares to the Comet, but if you have trouble on an SV, I reckon you’d have trouble on just about any bike.
Yes, I do love the Jacket. It fits beautifully and I love how it opens up for hot weather. It was a bit of money but worth it. My only regret about it is not getting one that’s waterproof, like the Fieldsheer jacket that my dad has.
September 12, 2008 at 4:33 pm #12058AndrewParticipant31.5 inches isn’t all that low. Almost every cruiser is lower than that and there are a few sport bikes with lower seats also.
