Excellent stuff Robbo, wish I'd seen it.  I wonder what sort of penalty they got?

Going past a Police car at 90 mph in a 30 because i was late for the ferry at Le Havre.

His clio was chgging away at the front of a cue of traffic , just before a dual carrigeway , where i went on to cruise at about 130mph , to arrive just in time for the ferry , 15 mins before departure .

All he will have seen was a puple bike go

zzzzzzzzzoooooooooommmmmmmmmmmm  :P ;)

Why late , Coz , the french dont do 24 hour petrol station , they dont like Brits Visa cards and my bike only did 130 / 140 miles on a tank of juice .

Ironically i crashed that bike a little later and hurt myself ,

Why are crash barriers so blooming hard  ??? ???

didnt even scratch the barrier , but it split my frame in four at the welds , impact speed 45mph . and me , only a day feeling a little woozy ( a bit like Le Mans weekend )

Errrrrr 45 mph and the frame split!!!!!!!!!!  That's a little unfortunate.  Don't build 'em like they used to......or was it an oldie.  No couldn't have been, they didn't go that fast!

Ba****ds who drop oil on the road should be shot.  Caused me to write off a car once :(

Always stick to the oil excuse.  It goes down better with the insurance companies  ;D

Well here's the pic , probably  a little small as the "expert " photographer took it on his super twin turbo charger 25v , multi functional digital camera with 6 million pixels so all the files are really big and need cytting down to postage stamp size .

I have another few and will post as soon as he shows me how to change the pixel rate ??

Robbo,

Assuming that you don't have a full blown copy of paintshop pro or similar there's quite a bit of software available as shareware or even free downloads that would suit your needs if you want to reduce the size of pictures already taken.

Try www.imagespro.com or www.newfreeware.com as just a couple of sites that offer useful software for this task. Alternatively search for 'batch image resize'.

Looking forward to seeing more of your pictures..
