#1 PostAuthor: Ginger Bear » Fri Jan 23, 2009 3:55 pm

Hi to all,
I have only been a member since Dec 2008, but I have alraedy found this site an invaluble source of information & 'entertainment'
I replied earlier this week to an 'On Ebay' topic & was asked for some pictures of me bike.
I have this afternoon signed up to photophucket & hope to post a picture or two!!
The bike I have is a bit of a Heinz 57. I sourced it via John Browse Motorcycles at the end of 2005 ( I had used John as a good source of used parts around '94 to restore a Z1000). No Ebay then!
John had built the bike for a good friend of his... His Best Man, who owned the bike for 12 years before I got me hands (& angle grinder) on it.

I think I might be getting me square bracket spacing wrong! I'll try once more & if it don't happen this time then I will need HELP!

Your square bracketing is okay but you are linking to the whole page not the image "Z1000/?action=view&current=DSCN0497" as opposed to "Z1000//DSCN0497.jpg" Admin

Ginger bear, easiest way is to just click on the box with the IMG link on it in photobucket - you then should see a little 'copied' box flash up, then go to your post and 'right click/paste'

should work! No worrying about what brackets where...
