I just grabbed a few clips to show you how to reduce the file size.  Open your pic, look for the 3 dots & click on them. In this menu is where you can reduce the file size.  In Pic 3 you see the slide bar, take it left until it's under 1Gb.  Well, there's a maximum of 2gb of pic uploads per post, so if you're only doing 1 pic & it's 1.7gb it will still be under the 2gb so that would be ok too.

This isn't the easiest forum to post pics on.

If you are a dumb arse like me use ...

and cut-n-paste the "BBCode full linked" it gives you.

GS1000 S or G ?
ones is a US import C and the other is an S
The S is a promotional bike as far as I can work out , numbers both fame / engine are an S with all the fruit such as cam gear numbers , oil temp cover etc she was originally painted front guard but not blue and white as per main stream.  I believe she was a dealer promotional bike before the so called wes coloured bikes came over to Australia. She was a metallic light blue one of only a hand full that colour.

No I mean the software you're saying about the slider to shrink the pic in, not the subject of the pic.

I had a couple of decades around Bayside and Brisbane, now moved just a little West. Love my older Suzuki 4's but mine start with the 16v in 1980.  I'm always interested in the 8v's though.

Pretty sure this was at Sirromet, Mt Cotton.

You can use the gallery here or just upload as an attachment.
One way to resize if not familiar is email it to yourself and it may give option of resizing
