Regarding the thread JayT mentioned in the first post of this thread, I updated it - giving credit to Honda of Japan.

I agree with you, and I always try very hard to add a "Source" at the end of my threads when I am using other's material.

I think the only times I have not done that are when I am using the stock photography issued to the press by the manufacturers. In my example of the 2008 Ducati Monster 696, I listed several websites that used their watermark on a Ducati-issued studio photograph of the bike. Only 1 of those sites also put in their article "Pictures courtesy of Ducati".

So just as I make sure that I add a Source to all threads/articles, I will also make sure I do this with the obvious manufactured issued studio photos.

Yes.
