I think if you go to "insert image" and use "from your computer" it comes out big. Test:
No, that's not it. Okay, then get a free account on a website like ImageShack or Photobucket, upload it there, and insert the URL, maybe? Test:
See if that works.

Another method is to upload the photo directly to the forum, then use the advanced formatting option to copy the image URL and paste it into the "insert image" option ("From URL" and uncheck the option for "Retrieve remote file and reference locally"). So the Bike Forums site is hosting the image, rather than an offsite host. Depends on how much control you want over your photos later.
