Looks like you somehow got http into the address for the picture twice - right click the corrected picture and select properties and then repeat with one of your red-x symbols and you will see a difference between the addresses shown in the properties

First thing to realize is when you click the icon to add a picture to a document the entry pop up box already has the characters http:// pre-filled in - which means that if you also copy that from the information from the link on the Photobucket site you would be doubling up that text and thus submitting the wrong information. The only thing that puzzled me is you managed not to double up the : symbol - which might be because this website is clever enough to know that you can only have one : symbol in a link and it removed what it thought was a mistake.

Mucky Helmet just corrected your link and re-submitted it in his own entry in your post.

No worries

I take it your latest shot is the new GS - a true go anywhere bike cos if you get stuck you just pick it an and carry it.

And it us dual sport too - Motorcyling and Weight lifting

BTW your next task with images is to learn how to make them a bit smaller so that they don't cause tossers to have to scroll sideways on forum messages (scrolling up and down is OK)

There are loads of tools available to resize, I use the Microsoft PowerToys utility called Image Resizer that adds a right click Resize option into Windows Explorer -it is available in the links on the right hand side of this page:
