Hi all I'm new to this forum and have never been on a forum before.  I would like to post a pic of my bike, but my Iphone picture is 1.8 Meg.  How can I reduce it to the 500KB required by GStwins?

I think I have the resizing in Paint brush figured out.  Here is a pic of my 2006 GS500F.  Shad bags, Ventura rack, V Strom hand guards, Zero Gravity touring wind shield. 
Does anybody know of a good tank bag / backpack?  I prefer rigid because I get rained on...allot!  My T bag that is on the Ventura rack is loosing it's shape from getting wet.

I've been using my Ogio no-drag mach series backpack for a couple weeks now and love it! You can ride for hours and still not even know it's there. As far as I can tell it's completely waterproof too. I've been caught in the rain a couple times and everything has stayed dry.

That's a nice bike! You could eat up some serious mileage with that setup.
