Not really sure where to put this, but as it's vaguely bike related I'll chuck it here.

Just got an original CB250RS owner's manual. I reckon something like this is fairly interesting to the sort of strange weirdos who like these bikes, so I thought I might scan it and make it available somewhere. Anybody know of any sites that do this sort of thing? Hosting electronic copies of books/magazines etc.? Not necessarily looking for a sort of warez site or anything like that, I reckon making a copy of a Honda's owners manual isn't too illegal or needs to be hidden away on a site like that.

rapidshare.com

or 4shared.com are two popular ones. Once you have uploaded you get a url which you can post to anyone then they can click on the url and download the file.

I has FTP, but only from my own server -- which is only 160kbps upload. Feh.

Rapidpuke is not really what I'm looking for. Think Google Books.

Buy super cheap shared hosting and put it there

Here we go. Mebbe not a magazine, but the idea is just about perfect: http://www.mygazines.com/

Bung a PDF on repairmanualclub or whatever the site is now.

Manualz.ifo is collecting this sort of thing for people - see this thread http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=78154&highlight=manualz

I found a Ducati manual from the thread links which I hadn't previously been able to track down.
