Here is a project Im just finishing up. Bonanza 1300, E series Ace100 engine , Torque Engineering pipe.

I dont know why the pictures are are upside down ??

That does look nice! When I click on it, right side up it goes. ----------Clarence

Nice looking little scoot. (photos stay upside down when I click on 'em)

Wow, Nice job! I think we've discussed this before but that machine looks to be over powered and wheelie prone!

Good work, thanks for posting it.

PS--Upright when I click on it. Mac/Safari

KC offered me a ride yesterday... My better judgment declined. Rear brake only, total weight negligible, power: excessive!

Time for all you antiquated Microsoft people to upgrade to iOS! It has a built in bottom determiner so pics are always right side up! They're all right side up for me! ; D Victor

Antiquated? I think not! It is the iOS posted pictures that create the issue. That would hardly be an upgrade...

Yes. Because Microdoft doesn't know up from down! Really!!! ; D Victor

It has been mentioned that it could possibly be operator error that is producing the upside down pictures. The device that is taking the photos, in order to change from a vertical to a horizontal orientation (portrait to landscape), needs to be rotated counter clockwise (which means nothing in today's digital age... so to the left) in order to be understood in universal "bottom determination."

My PC, Windows 10, sees the pictures as upside down, but when clicked on in Google Chrome they are correctly oriented.

Back to the original topic, Cool Bike!!

Incompatibility issues between MS and Apple have always existed, and have been perpetuated more or less on purpose, in an attempt to solidify market share. Actually, Apple's windows system came first. Microsoft and their attempt at a look alike window system came second, and had to remain sufficiently different so as not to infringe on patented system structure. Hence a different operating language, and frankly, one that has NEVER worked right. That MS has more users out there than Apple is due only to marketing, not due to performance or merit. So don't blame Apple systems for your PC issues, blame Microsoft for never getting it right.

No camera knows up from down, they simply capture what they see the way they see it. Apple pad and pod systems flip the picture for the operator so that they see the photo the right way around based on the position of the device that is viewing the photo. MS has either not figured out how to interpret this, or has never cared to figure it out, for the same reasons as those above, dating to the 80's.

Ask yourself this: how is it that Apple devices see these posted pictures right side up even though they were not taken by the device now viewing them once they are posted, and MS devices sometimes do and sometimes do not see them right side up? Now, where is the error? In the device that took the photo, or the device that is handling the data downstream?

You want to see these photos right side up, go buy an Apple computer.

Yep, it's all true what AZ is saying about Apple computers. They are the standard for professional Photographers (me) and Graphic designers (my wife). Also, it's hard to catch a virus with giving out a password. Cool system. I know this is a motorcycle forum but we all do use these things.

Eweleen also sez "Cool bike".

My apologies to KC57 for the hijack. You have one very cool little hot rod and I hope to see it at Hodaka Days.

P.S. I was able to stay clear of the oil debate but I felt compelled to defend Uncle Bill. I will refrain from making any further Operating System comments here. Sorry again to KC57.

Well, I didn't start it but I've been the butt of jokes about it more than once.

AZ is right. Apple Windows came first. Then Gates was asked by Jobs to assist with an issue. Jobs sent him the coding and his people helped work on it. Then Gates kept it and they tried to rewrite it enough to say it was different. Then Apple sued on the grounds of copywrite infringement. It went to court. The judge decided there was no infringement because Jobs gave the code to Gates and asked for help to fix it. He said Gates was given Proprietary Access so there was no grounds for the law suit. Gates went on to build his Windows empire on top of his DOS empire and merged the DOS & and Window components with Wimdows 95. Eventually DOS went from being a platform Windows was loaded on top of to being part of Windows in a blind shell, then finally was totally incorporated into the Windows program by Windows NT. Apple continued with their iOS development and went after the small and flat market while MS went after the desktop market. More manufacturers followed with Windows because they could sell more separate components; processor boxes, monitors & keyboards versus a flat tablet with everything built in. Then came Android and you know the rest of the story.

Yes, the Bonanza is a great looking mini! I love the color too and would ride it in a heart beat! ; D Victor

Yabut. I like my apples fresh from the tree. On the farm we had a apple window, the open one we threw the apple cores out of. We had allot of gates on the farm and there were always lots of jobs. I have been in a blind shell while hunting ducks in North Dakota. But I haven"t seen processor boxes since I lift the cherry warehouse. Victor I have never meant for you to be the but of my joke. My E machine does the apple twist, soft music for a cloudy day.-----------Clarence

I like Clarence's reply! I don't know a lot about computers or photography but I have found that if I rotate my phone the wrong way to take a picture, the resulting picture is right side up on my phone and upside down on my computer. If I rotate the phone counter clockwise the picture is right side up on both my phone and my computer. This is just my experience and may not apply in this set of circumstances (or maybe it might, that's why I passed it on.) If it doesn't work no problem on my end. I'm not going to buy different equipment, I'll just stand on my head to look at the pretty pictures.

Thanks For the kind comments everyone !! As far as the upside down posting . It is probably due to pilot error. I was trying to post using pics from my phone ( A first ) and a new computer with Windows 10. I have not had problems posting in the past. Could it be due to the large file size? I have reduced the size of the files. I will try rotating the phone ( the damn thing rotates it's self, more often than I want it to ). I may just go back to my old Olympus digital camera. K.C.
