Ray, all I do to edit it is to to do something to make the phone/ipad save the "new" picture. Such as slightly cropping it, or slightly turning it, save it, and then it will show up correct orientation when others look at it.

I have been recently having a problem with after fixing them, I will load the pic on the site, and when I preview it, it is black. If you happen to get that issue, then what I do is screen shot the pic, edit that pic, then post the "new" pic to the site, and it works.

Trying out the photo editing, thanks again.

While at Janus and talking with Woody; noticed he was using wooden blocks to lift the back of the bike. Shared some info & photos on what helped me.

The lift I got years ago included a scissor type jack.

Getting closer to the first oil change and hopefully installing a kick start assembly.
Headed west today to South Haven, Michigan. Temps were good, but the wind was blowing me sideways quite a bit.
Will be going to Jackson tomorrow. Bike is running great.

Those are extremely cool. I've developed a real attraction to small minimalist bikes.
I'm sure it's un-related to owning a goldwing lol...

Some Janus owners have noted how “upright” the bike sits on the kick stand.
While getting gas, there was gusting winds. Went to get a rag out of the saddle bag and the wind was taking the bike forward…. not good.
Decided to shorten the kick stand about 3/8”. Also, beefed up the section by the foot, and angled it forward a bit.

Certainly do not want that tipping over! My Dad’s Suzuki C90T always wanted to do the same thing and roll forward on the stand. Good that you fixed that little issue.

Attended the annual Owners Rally in Goshen, Indiana. I counted 80 Janus bikes from across the US.
