    It's no problem for The Mighty McCorset Colin.....Craig just rotates himself to whatever the position the bike is in.....

        Brian,
        Thanks for your kind words.
        The real story is that I take the photo's and turn them sideways and upside down so that our friends down under and all the rubber necks get to see them properly.

          Rotating Pics, Aka 'Re-Orienation Of Digitally Produced Visual Artifacts'....

          Ha!!! Nice one mate, always thinking of others.....

          But seriously, if we must, this is how I do it......here you go;

          First, I downloaded one of your pics by opening it, then right click to open up the menu box, then selected 'save image as' and then 'ok'. (pic 2 below.)

          If you already have the pic on your system (because you took it!)....skip that and do ths;

          1. Find the pic on your computer that you want to rotate.
          2. Place cursor over pic and right click.
          3. A dialogue box/menu panel should open (see pic 1 below.)
          4. Look down the list and find 'Rotate', and right click either left or right.....depending on whether the intended viewer is based in Melbourne or Aberystwyth of course...
          5. The pic will rotate 90 degrees with each click, giving a total of four positions, the last being back where you started. (see pic 3 as an example, rotate right clicked once.)

          Another way to do it is via your picture 'edit' menu, depending on what system you have on your computer. On my Lenovo laptop, I need to open up 'pictures' then select the pic I want and open it, then click 'edit', then select 'rotate' from the menu, then click 'rotate' as many times as required like before, then 'finished' then 'save'. (see pics pics in following post below.)

          Different software will have similar methods, it's just a case of playing around a bit, and if in doubt, hit 'help' and type a question into the dialogue box that appears.

          Bloody computers eh.....

          Hope his helps mate, and happy rotating....!!

          Mr Rotatorvator.

                    • As promised here is the final post, bike used as intended.
                      My son is riding as my legs are too short.
                      He respects that the bike is quite rare but did not stop him racing and beating other twin shocks half its age. He says he won't give it back now and I can stick to my old Challenger.

                              • It's been a few years but the bike still competes in twinshocks and classics.
