Time to change the picture of the SWing on the Main Page

Hi,

Well it is time to change the picture on the Main Page. I was wanting to do this monthly but just seemed to have forgotten. The SWing on there now is DennisB's. If you would like your picture of your SWing on the Main Page please submit them in the reply to this post.

Thanks,

JeffR

Thank's Jeff, I was getting tired of looking at it. The change will be good.

Jeff,
Try either of these. They are old pix from several customs ago, but they are the most beautiful ones I have.

Here are a couple of pictures.

Here's some I took of mine last summer: http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/noddydog1/Silverwing#

Mine are in my album - up for grabs if required.

Nice pictures wingnprayer! You have some talent. What lense were you using?

Thanks skiwoods, photography is a hobby of mine. The lens was mostly a Nikkor 70-200mm, but sometimes a Nikkor 18-70mm for the wider shots.

Well, I changed the photo finally. Congrats to MikeO for his picture. I figured that since this is a global site that I should put a pic of a SWing from outside the U.S. . Thanks for letting us use a picture of your bike Mike. It sure is a nice looking bike.

Nice picture of a nice looking SW! Nice looking neighborhood MikeO...

Well! What can I say?

I'm flattered to have a picture of The Winged Express at the top of the page, especially since there are so many luscious S'wings on the forum.

Thanks, Jeff, for starting and maintaining such a great place for us all and thanks to everyone for making it such a great place to reside.

Yes, this little town near Bruges in West Flanders is a quiet, orderly and clean place to live. We have very friendly neighbours and have been made very welcome since we moved here from London (UK) in December, 2008.
I still haven't mastered Dutch, not least because everyone wants to speak English to me.

Nice looking SWing Mike.
I didn't know that SWings were available in blue.
Over here (USA) you can have any color you want
as long as it is dark red.

The US 06 units could be blue, but they had a light color belly fairing. I like the all blue.
Like the ST1300 the blue ones are faster.

I am a sucker for blue.

It's Delta Blue - almost purple in bright sunlight. It has metalflake in so it sparkles and looks really good.

I think blue, black and silver are the current colours in mainland Europe.
I must say I'd have had difficulty choosing between blue and red - the red is gorgeous.

Yeah, it is a really nice color. It seemed that they kept the color silver for a few years. I really liked the blue color alot but I already bought the Silver one. It is really a Titanium Silver which has kind of like a purple color when looking at it under good sunlight.

Well, it is time to change the Forum Picture again. I have chosen Dan Spevack's picture to grace our site this month. Hope you don't mind Dan . And I would like to thank MikeO for letting us use his picture for the last 1 1/2 months. It is a great looking scoot there Mike.

But Dan has a great scoot too with many additions. Some of you may know Dan from the www.silverwing.org site. He was the moderator there for a long time and did a great job and is a very valuable asset to our Silver Wing community.

Please keep posting pics of your SWing and I will go through this post for the next picture. So keep responding to this post with a nice picture of your SWing. I really would like to have some more pictures of SWings from other countries so we can take turns with the different countries. This is turning out to be a global site and not a U.S. only site, which is great. So take some good pictures of your SWing and post them in here. Thanks so much.

Jeff,
If I minded, I wouldn't have posted it.
I'm honored you chose it.

That is an old picture

Where is an updated picture with
- upgraded black dash
- is that the original cowl or the Japanese cowl??

It is an old picture, but I don't have any good artistic pics with some of the newer mods.

This doesn't have the Japanese side cowls or the cruiseboards.

It really was a privilege, Jeff, and it's nice to see such a beautiful Silverwing as Dan's at the top now.

Great looking SWing! Nice ride Dan.

great picture of a great example, could i respectfully ask the picture size is reduced, perhaps click on to enlarge alah ebay?, as every time you click it's literally blasted onto your vision, and find it annoying you have to scroll down to do anything.

i think the world of these wonderful scooters but it's a bit to much of a good thing me thinks

Hi CC,

I agree, the smaller picture does look better. Thank's for your help.

imo thats far better,

you can see the picture but also lets you get top the buttons

That's a jolly nice picture at the top - neat bike, neat trailer and beautiful background!

Hi MikeO. This is one of my favorite roads and favorite paddling spots. This is the Mississippi river close to Nauvoo Il. Now if I just had a 4 boat, with fellow paddlers, Kylie Minogue, Shania Twain, and.....searching my limited memory........that attractive redhead that volunteers at the Humane Society.......
How about your choices for the perfect rowing team, IF... a basket of wines, cheeses, and dancing were included??? Really, the paddles need new grips, and the boat is somewhat cumbersome,.......maybe the girls would just enjoy the picnic? Jeff.

Hello Jeff.
Sorry for the delay in replying - I was back in the UK fpr the weekend.
I'll give some thought to my ideal crew and let you know.

How about a bone stock 06?

Hi T1100. That's it.... I'm painting my lower fairing on my 03. Looks great. Jeff.

This was taken at the waters edge in Albany, south coast of WA. The ship in the background is the brig "AMITY" which was used in opening up the south west. She sits high and dry and can be boarded by tourists.

Very tasty on both counts!

Please submit your pictures (or link to pictures) for the main page.

I will have to learn to how to change it

Here Ya Go!

Nice tron job!

Hey Bill, Try this one.

Dennis,
Before I zoomed in to double check, I thought those armrests looked a bit too much like small rocket launchers.

I can't figure out how to embed a photo inside a posting, so I've attached my submission.

Your welcome to any of mine: https://picasaweb.google.com/noddydog1/Silverwing#

I wonder if DennisB could make an armrest like that for my Mini. BMW makes one but I hate it and there aren't very many aftermarket ones available...

Here's a picture of my '08 you can use.

I am looking for a new forum picture that has either with snow or a Christmas scene. Having the Silverwing in the picture is a big plus ... or if you traveled on your Silverwing when you took the picture.

That's me out.

Snow!

What's that, it's been so long, I would have to ride for the day to the northern parts of our green and pleasant land in the depths of winter to find the white crinkly stuff!!!

If we use Kurt's picture it'll give time for someone to take a 'Silverwing in Snow' photo and, after all, it is Summer down-under!

I wouldn't bother we haven't had any yet, but if you're planning for Easter 2012 come up at the end of December and we'll have Cadburys Creme Eggs back in the shops!

Don't know if either of these will do but feel free to use them if you wish

Nice!

Number 1 for me.

It is time to change the forum pictures.

Please post pictures or links to picture suggestions.

I vote for DennisB picture.
