Hi,

Well it is time to change the picture on the Main Page. I was wanting to do this monthly but just seemed to have forgotten. The SWing on there now is DennisB's. If you would like your picture of your SWing on the Main Page please submit them in the reply to this post.

Thanks,

JeffR

Jeff,
Try either of these. They are old pix from several customs ago, but they are the most beautiful ones I have.

Thanks skiwoods, photography is a hobby of mine. The lens was mostly a Nikkor 70-200mm, but sometimes a Nikkor 18-70mm for the wider shots.

Well, I changed the photo finally. Congrats to MikeO for his picture. I figured that since this is a global site that I should put a pic of a SWing from outside the U.S. . Thanks for letting us use a picture of your bike Mike. It sure is a nice looking bike.

Well! What can I say?

I'm flattered to have a picture of The Winged Express at the top of the page, especially since there are so many luscious S'wings on the forum.

Thanks, Jeff, for starting and maintaining such a great place for us all and thanks to everyone for making it such a great place to reside.

Yes, this little town near Bruges in West Flanders is a quiet, orderly and clean place to live. We have very friendly neighbours and have been made very welcome since we moved here from London (UK) in December, 2008.
I still haven't mastered Dutch, not least because everyone wants to speak English to me.

Nice looking SWing Mike.
I didn't know that SWings were available in blue.
Over here (USA) you can have any color you want
as long as it is dark red.

The US 06 units could be blue, but they had a light color belly fairing. I like the all blue.
Like the ST1300 the blue ones are faster.

I am a sucker for blue.

It's Delta Blue - almost purple in bright sunlight. It has metalflake in so it sparkles and looks really good.

I think blue, black and silver are the current colours in mainland Europe.
I must say I'd have had difficulty choosing between blue and red - the red is gorgeous.

Yeah, it is a really nice color. It seemed that they kept the color silver for a few years. I really liked the blue color alot but I already bought the Silver one. It is really a Titanium Silver which has kind of like a purple color when looking at it under good sunlight.

Well, it is time to change the Forum Picture again. I have chosen Dan Spevack's picture to grace our site this month. Hope you don't mind Dan . And I would like to thank MikeO for letting us use his picture for the last 1 1/2 months. It is a great looking scoot there Mike.

But Dan has a great scoot too with many additions. Some of you may know Dan from the www.silverwing.org site. He was the moderator there for a long time and did a great job and is a very valuable asset to our Silver Wing community.

Please keep posting pics of your SWing and I will go through this post for the next picture. So keep responding to this post with a nice picture of your SWing. I really would like to have some more pictures of SWings from other countries so we can take turns with the different countries. This is turning out to be a global site and not a U.S. only site, which is great. So take some good pictures of your SWing and post them in here. Thanks so much.

If I minded, I wouldn't have posted it.
I'm honored you chose it.

That is an old picture

- is that the original cowl or the Japanese cowl??

It is an old picture, but I don't have any good artistic pics with some of the newer mods.

This doesn't have the Japanese side cowls or the cruiseboards.

It really was a privilege, Jeff, and it's nice to see such a beautiful Silverwing as Dan's at the top now.

great picture of a great example, could i respectfully ask the picture size is reduced, perhaps click on to enlarge alah ebay?, as every time you click it's literally blasted onto your vision, and find it annoying you have to scroll down to do anything.

i think the world of these wonderful scooters but it's a bit to much of a good thing me thinks Wink

Hi MikeO. This is one of my favorite roads and favorite paddling spots. This is the Mississippi river close to Nauvoo Il. Now if I just had a 4 boat, with fellow paddlers, Kylie Minogue, Shania Twain, and.....searching my limited memory........that attractive redhead that volunteers at the Humane Society.......
How about your choices for the perfect rowing team, IF... a basket of wines, cheeses, and dancing were included??? Really, the paddles need new grips, and the boat is somewhat cumbersome,.......maybe the girls would just enjoy the picnic? Jeff.
