Next challenge is a picture of your Fazer infront of a flock of WILD birds (the more exotic the better... we will call a "flock" 3 or more of one kind to make it easier).
If it's a bird of prey, a single one is fine. No cheating, bird(s) must be alive, no garden averies or pigeons. :) Something for the weekend perhaps.

That was EXACTLY the kind of picture I had in mind, when posting the challenge.
Suns out, very pleasant River setting in the background, with a super shiny Yamaha in focus!

Plus yessss... Bully's special prize... A Speedboat! goes to Val... "super - smashing - great"!  :lol

LOL!!  :rollin

I can imagine Val is currently sat on his bike, engine idling on his driveway, fumbling with his mobile though motorcycle gloves, primed - waiting for a new picture challenge to pop up here!  :lol

I have commuted to work today on the :faz , so might be in a position to step out lunchtime, to snap a pic or 3.  :thumbup

Whats the favoured image hosting site to use these days? I've been struggling to find one that just works, so I can embed images straight in - as Val has above.
(after photofucket started charging $300+ for the privilege).

I use Flickr. Its free and has a feature you can get forum tags for sharing.

The solution is don't use the phone Flickr app. Use the browser on your phone like this:

Go to your web browser and browse to Flickr. When you are there chose the desktop browser option. Once it's loaded, tap and hold the Refresh icon in the URL bar and you'll see the option to "Request Desktop Site" at the bottom.

There problem solved you will have now a forum share option when you see the picture from your photostream.

Click share arrow:



Copy/paste the BBcode tags from there here.



Problem solved  :)

Cool. Next challenge your bike with Canada geese
