As you may or may not know, Yahoo provides us with a relatively small space for storage of photos. It is important before uploading photos to reduce the resolution to "web quality" something in the range of 72dpi is more than adequate. If you're in doubt please check the file size. In nearly all cases a low resolution version (less than 125 kb) is more than adequate. With digital cameras I always counsel shooting at the highest resolution possible (unless you know you're only going to use the images for web viewing). But, this implies using software to reduce the size and resolution before sending a shot via email or uploading. I'm fortunate to have and use Photoshop, however, it is expensive. A great freeware program is Irfanview available for download from www.tucows.com/preview/194967.html ... Thanks very much, Kurt Simpson List administrator

Kurt: As a the site admin, you can delete the full res pics. It is kinda a PIA, but it freed up tons of space at TexasDS. Pat / Austin --- In DSN_klr650@yahoogroups.com, "Kurt Simpson \(Salt Lake City\)" wrote:

You can prolly do it all twice on the 858 Cheng Shin! I'm at nearly 9000 miles with a bit left before bald strip appears. I've run 25lbs all this time, and from what some of the Gurus say, I could get more if I run higher pressures. I hate changin pressures all the time. This tire should not even be Dot, so it is quite dirt oriented, sand paddles and all. Yea, a little noisey, but...... Kinda noisey, with very good street cornering side lugs. Price is under 80 bucks for a pair. I'll be buyin them again! Rod, sure hope they don't discontinue them! Hopein we don't start another tire thread either!!!
