Hey... here's my (proud) Raptor...

[Carlos Ferreira]

Hello.

Here's some pictures of my (small) baby. Still waiting to apply the carbon rear hugger, but now the weather is to good to waste on applying parts on the garage...

Pictures taken "outside my door", where I have a lot of sea and (curvy road) mountain. The best place for the Raptor...

By the way, do anyone let me know if the bar end mirrors work?!?!? The actual mirrors I have are very good to check how my arms are, but not so good to check the road behind me.....

Enjoy the rides...

I like bar end mirrors but i have a width problem(the yard gate not me) and getting the bike out is a bit tight.

Hey...

I realized now that non of the pics I (thought) I uploaded were there.
I'm tried to upload them (again), but the window informing on the upload progress just won't "end" the job... and this is lasting over half an hour

I already tried JPG and GIF pics, but non of these seem to work...

Any idea why can't I upload the pics?

About the bar ends info from SHEDMONKEY, good point on the gate (mine is not that large as well...)

there is a sticky somewhere on here on uploading pics but you cant upload directly onto this site, you have to host them with one of the hosting sites (imageshack/ photobucket/tinypic etc)

Hi...

I did as "Crap Tartan" advised: created an acount on the Imageshack site...
Link follows below. Let's see if it works this way...

It does work!

I like the look of the mountain...I can imagine the lovely twisty roads. Never fancied bar-end mirrors. If the bike falls over, even off its side stand, they're going to break. Also, I also have a width problem. I keep my Raptor in the kitchen. With bar-end mirrors, it would not fit in.

Lovely bike though. Enjoy!

Carlos, the link works but to make it even easier, when you have uploaded your pics to imageshack, copy and paste the "forums" link under your pic and put that on the forum so your pics will actually appear in the post.

Or if you want to be even smarter copy the thumbnail link and make it clickable!

btw lovely scenery there..............................and bike of course!!!

[Carlos Ferreira]

Will do. Thanks for tips. Next time I'll have that in mind...

About the road on Arrábida mountain... twisted, vicious, LOVELY!!!!!

Just for you guys to have an idea of the road, here's link to a movie made on it...



Don't know any of these guys, though...

Nice you are very lucky nice roads

[Carlos Ferreira]

Understood on the fancied bar end mirrors. I do jave the same problem on the gate dimension...

What about those mirrors that follow under the bar? Do they work? I mean, do they really allow a good vision to what's on our back? I never ride a bike with the mirrors in this disposition...

These are my bar end mirrors, they can be turned through 90degrees to make them narrower..

Give a good, vibration free view of the rapidly departing scenery behind
