    Where is the good place to acquire good looking gear to match our bikes ? I don't really care for the new style with all the dam skulls .

    HVA sells the gear reminicent of Team Husqvarna of the early 80's. Outside of that you would have to buy a modern helmet and have it painted plain color to match the time period. I bought a set of O'Neal mx pants that are plain enough to resemble leathers.

    I have a bunch of JT gear in various colors, including Husky blue/yellow. You can still get it on eBay. The blue/orange looks good with my '82 CR tank also.

    I've been looking too. I don't like dam skulls or big brand names on my jerseys either.
    Thor and JT Racing brands seem to have more old school styles. JT seems to have dropped their retro line up (as pictured above). Too bad, as it was cool.

    I had the same problem with pics.
    Now I load them into an image program, like Mac Preview, then rotate them, and re-save them. Then they are ready to upload.
    Seems to fix the problem.

    Hmm. If you can export the photo as a .jpg format, then open in Preview and save.

    I was assuming your photos are in Mac's iPhoto. If so, I think you can export / move a photo to your Pictures file directory. From there you can open it with Preview.

    shame on the Metro pants but first BMW and then KTM called the "gear Police" and stated without paying copyright royalty is a no go. all nonsense as Husqvarna AB never sold right to logo even to cagiva. retainined by sweden to this day
