Moto Guzzi Club of Queensland Forum

Ok thought I'd put up a page for Cali Gang members to post pictures of their beautiful Cali's.

Not a member & want to join, own a California?

Guess what?

You are already a member, our only prerequisite is that you own a Cali, that's it! It's cheap to join as it's free.

So now that you're a member, stick a piccy of your ride in, it don't matter how old or new it is, it's a Cali & we Cali owners appreciate any Cali.

I won't post pictures of my pride & joy here as I've already done so, in one of our other pages (the joy of being a moderator is that I have to smack those naughty people whom cross-post, so one had better not do it oneself, had one)

If you aren't sure how to put your picture up, refer to the introduction page at the start of the forum, it explains it all, or set up a photobucket account (it's free as well) & contact me through our pages or PM (personal message) me & I'll help you as much as I can.

To personal message someone, go into the memberlist section, find the name of the person you wish to message & click on the PM section related to their name, type said message, push send & 'hey presto', instant message, easy peasy.

Enough from me, it's your turn now.......................................................

Hey stop staring at this & post will ya

Hi wal
fellow cali owner . Promise to post a photo of mine as soon as I
stop riding her (snigger) and take the bloody shot. Oh and get the balls
( I can say BALLS ?) to have a go at an advanced technological procedure
like posting a photo. OK

Good on ya Stu,
If you have any problems working out how to post a photo you can contact me via PM & I'll explain the Cali owners way of doing it (with a plethora of swear words & a large heavy blunt instrument), or you can contact our administrator Mark(909) via PM & he can tell you the correct way of doing it.
I must say personally the Cali way is more appealing to me but it costs a bit in destroyed computers.
Happy riding & California Dreaming.

or the other method cali owners use which is attching a stamp and putting it in the red box down the street

I'm STILL worried about you guys!
Even more so of late!

swagzz,
I'm a bit confused, never heard of that method. So I thought I'd try, I went down the road to the red box thingy, stamped on it some (but didn't seem to produce any results), so I went back home got a BIG hammer & bashed it some.
Still didn't seem to produce anything at all, but did get the young guy to come out his front door & get rather upset, yelling things about police, his crew & other things but no pictures (though one thinks it would have made a great video).
End result, I don't have to listen to the 'doof doof' noise, the loud exhaust or the 'wooosh' everytime the guy in his red box comes up & down the street anymore (until he gets his little red box fixed again).
Hey it worked a bloody treat, but still don't understand how this helps with pictures though.


hairee, you worry about us, that is so sweet, or is it the 'little man' attitude coming out again. Maybe IF I get The Cali Gang shirts made I may have to get some with 'I'm a Breva, when I grow up I'm gunna be a big bad Cali" on the back.

Good post Wal.....I needed a laugh after a busy week.

Thanks, but please refer to my previous post.

BTW......there's enough Breva 750 riders in the club now for us to have a t-shirt....just need someone far wittier than I to come up with something!
PLUS, the 750 Breva riders at least turn up for club rides etc, with their bikes, on a regular basis.
You'll keep!

Cheers
The Little Man

Ok heres my photo of my 1995 1100i
finally..
sry photo to big by about 500 kib
will smoke signal for help
stu

Looks like this may well be the preferred method as you suggest swagzz.

Sorry stu w, couldn't resist that.....you left yourself wide open. No apologies to the Co-founder of the Cali Gang tho'!

stu,
If your operating system is windows, just select the photo in the standard photo viewing platform, then edit it down to the required size.
It's only your avatar that needs to be under the 500kB.
The other way is start a photobucket,fliker, or similar, most are free, upload your photo to there, then put your link in to your post.

'm glad you fixed the red box for the young fella down the street
if that wasn't good enough for him grab a tin of petrol some matches
pour petrol over red box with "doof doof"loud exhaust "whooosh"problem
stand upwind strike match throw on red box with "doof whoosh" problem
get well back after throwing match.

this will convert it to a black box with no "doof whossh or loud exhaust problems


still no help with th posting pics tho

Stu, if you are trying to use your pic as an avator you will need to reduce its size. If you are having troubles just email it to me and I'll adjust it and add it to your profile for you. If you just want to post pictures (fun, fun, fun) just get a free acount here http://photobucket.com/ and you'll be away.

Hey Stu,
You weren't at the Storey Bridge concourse by any chance, parked somewhere along the river bank.
I took a photo of a Green 11i that was strange to me (meaning that I don't know who the owner is).
If so I have a picture on my photobucket account, so I could post it, reduce it easy peasy.

Cali's at the 2009 Storey Bridge Concourse, if it's your bike give us a yell & I'll edit the post to let everyone know it's your pride & Joy.








Waz's Red Jackal
















If ya bikes there give us a yell, if we don't have a picture of your Cali (you don't have to be a MGCoQ member), then get it to me, if ya not sure how to post a picture then either start a photobucket account (it's free) & give me a link or just PM me with your user name & I'll find it & whack it up for you.

There are still Cali Gang stuff available through the Squadra site-

You'll see The Cali Gang link in the top left hand corner, just click on it & it'll take you into the shop, the T-shirts are US made so sizing is very accurate, if ya wear a Large here then Large will be fine.

Mine's the Red Jackal Wal.
