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.

you might be interested, I was on the Swiss border on my cb500, when I met this chap (Eric from germany) 0n his GS500, note the panniers made from oil drums, he said it was a great touring bike and his had done 80,000 miles...I was so impressed , I bought one for my wife to reolace her cbf 500, .....now she can paddle around at low speed without dropping it cos her feet can touch the ground and it's lighter too.....off to France in November
