If you are using Windows:

Open the picture with MSPaint (Paint).  Go to IMAGE pulldown, then STRETCH AND SKEW.  Type in 50% and 50%, then save the image.  It not only shrinks the image, but it compresses, to make a small file size.
My doctor told me to go out and kill people.
Well, sort of.  He told me to reduce the stress in my life.

I figured out how to add pictures and have added several to my original post now.  The nice picture posted by Porkpie shows the bike coming off the line.  As you get further down the course the rider crouches down lower behind the wind screen.

John, you should mention that the motor runs to the rev-limiter so more gear will probably make someone a new 2 club member  :-D

Pappy,

the first picture you add....I done this picture at the 1 1/4 mile....when you go through the fifth mile, you are much lower, only the helmet shows a little bit out of the body...you will see it on the picture I done in the 2012 season...got you straight in the 5 mile marker...flat out...
