I usually put the word "hubcap" and "pictures" in the subject of my
ride reports. That way I can do a google search on "hubcap's valkyrie pictures"
and get a list of ride reports, they're fun to look at later...

Anywho... Clemson is about to arbitrarily change around how web space URLs
look (again) and of course that breaks all my posts that have pictures in them.

So... I'm going to slowly rehost a bunch of my images again (hopefully for the last time)
over on google. The process will cause me to have a copy of the text from all
my posts (all the ones I bother doing this way) along with their associated
pictures in a directory on my laptop, so that's a win, since they'll end up
being backed up.

And since I'm using "google sites" to host the pictures, I might as well copy
the text there too...

So, in the end, whatever ride reports I reprocess will have their own web pages
over at google...

To keep from just peppering sites.google.com with free floating unassociated
web pages about old (and the new ones too) rides, I've started adding
a link here every time (five times now  Roll Eyes ) I put the pictures from
a ride report on a sites web page:

https://sites.google.com/site/scvrcc/

The above is just an archive site of course, a "real" ride report needs
to be posted di-rectly to the VRCC General Board  cooldude ...

I hadn't fooled with sites.google.com much in a long time, there's some
pretty cool stuff there, and it is real handy what you can do with it, and it
is free (they track you, like facebook and photobucket and basically all
those other "free" things you can get on the Internet)...

I did a "site:sites.google.com valkyrie" google search, there's tons of stuff
out there... much of it not about Valkyrie motorcycles, but some is... here's
a cool picture from the Latvia VRCC from the 2014 European InZane:
