Post a pic of your Airhead

Usually, when you have the file open in something like Microsoft Photo Editor you can do a File...Save As. Then choose a format that has compression (jpeg would be a good choice). If you choose jpeg, you'll either have or can select (in Microsoft Photo Editor there's a More... button to display advanced settings) a setting that saves space over quality.

For example, here's a picture of my '85 R80. In the original high quality JPEG format it's about half a meg in size. Setting the size/quality setting down yielded a file of about 90K and still made a usable picture.

Rob,
Even Paint works for resizing pics. I sent Guzzi some tips too.

Your pic would show up better as a 640X480 on this forum.

True; I should have resized it. To hurried, I guess.

Really was more of an example than anything else. Kind of a poor picture :)

Greetings
I am new to the MOA forum. I have heard that there is a conversion to move the oil filter to an accessible location on the R100 series bikes with Oil Cooler. Attached is a jpeg of my R100 which is tarted up like an "S"

Love that white and blue R100GSPD! What year is it? Wish I could find one for sale that wasn't beat to crap or over $6,000.

Welllllll...that uh blue PD is a '93 Purple PD with the graphics removed. It comes with some stickers that look like flying gravel on the tank. That was removed before I got it for $5500 with 24K miles. It needed a new front brake rotor so I puton one of the oversized rotors from M.A.P. Engineering.

When I first got it I thought I would paint over the purple when winter arrived...but by the time winter arived I didn't seem to care about it being purple anymore.

You can still find a nice PD for about $5500 if you take some time. There were two black ones in the Airmail last month.
