Very annoying. There's a couple of boards I visit which use the same system as this one, but they allow you to post a pic of virtually any size. The software creates a small thumbnail (about the size of the pic above) which links through to your original pic. Much better.

There was a thread recently about a guy doing a rebuild with very large pics (can't remember the poster's name, sorry) - I wonder how he did that?

Aha - links in the post to an image-hosting site, I think. Cunning.

Well.. I work in Motorcycle Sales so I think I have a pretty good idea..

I reckon your prepped 3tb is worth about £1000 privately and about 300 quid to a dealer.

The 03 XT600E is gonna be worth about £1500 privately and about £1000 to a dealer. (I paid £1800 for a mint 03 low miler in 2007)

Prices from winter to summer can vary between 200-300 quid and of course, if your in a rush to sell.

My advice is to wait until the spring when the biking community comes out of hibernation. (in the UK anyway)

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
