I have a better quality scan of this article I could post if you would like me to. There is also a second performance article that Cycle ran two months earlier in June of 1954 titled "Six Horses For Six Bucks" that I could post as well.

I copied the original images I have and resized to a smaller 1024 pixel width, the file sizes are still too large for me to load here. Brent, one of your images loaded at 582 KB file size how did that happen when it tells me 400 KB is the size limit?

Brent is one of the "admins" - we have super-human powers.

I just bumped up the limit from 400 kb to 500 kb per image. The reason for the limit is that some people will upload files from their camera that are really huge. My camera takes pictures that are larger than 5000 x 4000 pixels and are 5-6 mb in size. They won't fit on anyone's screen, they take a long time to download, and pity the poor person who lives out in cow country and had limited-bandwidth Internet.

You get three images per post. Some people want to post dozens of photos of their pride and joy. We gotta draw the lines somewhere!


You can e-mail the images to me, and I'll take care of them. If you're scanning them, 300 dpi grayscale for Black-and-white, 300 dpi gazillions-of-colors for color images are the best. I'm pretty handy with Photoshop.

Wow, Super human powers. I'll try not to abuse them in the future -smile-
Just an FYI from Captain Obvious here but everyone who has video of their stuff can always post it on YouTube and then post the link here.

Okay, so I further converted the images to b&w and was able to get the file size under 500 kb each. They are still fairly good quality as follows.

First... August 1954 Cycle Magazine 165 Harley Hop Up parts 1 & 2.

And last... June 1955 Cycle Magazine Six Horses For Six Bucks, originally printed in June 1954 this later printing is better as the complete article is provided on a single page.
