To add photos click "attachments" when you are done typing your message. A box will pop up which will allow you to select photos off your hard drive. Load them up and then click "insert all" on the photos so they will be added to your post in high resolution. A lot of people don't do this last part and it's frustrating because the photos show up as tiny thumbnails.
Take care

I purchased it in 2006 from the second owner who lived within sight of the factory. Other than a pretty nice quality repaint and some bolt on shiney pieces, it is an original, unmolested example.
Good first effort but you forgot to hit "insert all" before posting.
