Anybody still wants one of these fine bitches here's your chance. I've got two extra, and they're gittin' in the way. All ya gotta do is PM me. First two humans that do that and ask nicely get one sent to them postage paid (even if it's out of the colonies). Who love's ya man?
 
by the way, the calendars ROCK!!!! best specialty motorcycle calendars I've seen. I love that you get a big pic of the bike on the top half and then more shots and INFO, plus of course the calendar. This calendar has made every day at work since I got it, way better. Nice job!
 
Thanks guys I appreciate the feedback and was very happy to give back to the community. I am still trying to tie up a few loose ends with them but all in all I think it was a good deal. Unfortunately after having to reprint a second run because PayPal had not correctly tracked my inventory I'm not going to be able to donate the $100 I wanted to. I feel bad about that. I still plan to give back once I get around to crunching all the numbers. Hopefully if everyone wants one next year, I will be way more prepared.

Thanks to everyone especially Travis for helping me get the post seen by everyone who may have wanted one! It's starting to warm up slightly here in Iowa and looking at my calendar gets me more and more excited for spring! Also a HUGE thanks goes to all the calendar entries for getting Pictures, credits, links etc making my job easier. I hope everyone is happy with their calendars! Thanks again.

Yea I know that is a bummer. Grab a paper punch though half of the calendar at a time. I just used a small nail in mine and its minimal. I am also thinking about framing in a 11 X 17 cheap frame from Walmart with the quick release back and change once a month. Then you can hang it up with nails and no damage. Also seen where you can take the glass out and dont need to undo it to change. Hope this helps.
 
Took the staple out, three hole punched it, reassembled with three staples.

Well, it wasn't as easy as you might think. I put it on it's center stand, sat back and took a good long look at the beast, to make sure whatever modification I decided on wouldn't ruin the overall look. After much conteplation I rummaged thru my tool box to find just the right hole making device. To my dismay I couldn't find the proper piece. Oh I have such tools: awls, punches, drill bits. But none would deliver the right look- one in keeping with the build. About the time I started thinking 'bout going the tape (shudder) route my lovely wife offered her help. "Honey", she purred, "why not use a hole punch? I have one right here. Will this work?" Holy shit! Once again I was too close to the project to see the answer! Once again my wife, who is not particularly mechanically inclined, was far away enough to think more clearly than I. Carefully I positioned the calendar in the punch's jaws, hesitated for a second, then with one swift movement "CRUNCH"! The deed was done. "Perfect!" I rejoiced! Now to mount my masterpiece where all can enjoy.

Unfortunately the nail head completely blocks my handiwork but hey, the fun's in the build right?:D

Without a build thread, it's all just hearsay.
 
I have two, one in the garage and office, but only need one. If you don't mind a hole punched in it with a nail I'll let you have one of mine. Just pay postage and I'll send it out to you.
