2014 XS650.com Calendars! CALLING FOR NOMINATIONS

We need some sort of confirmation from the owners of these nominated bikes that they want their bike in the calendar and that they can supply high quality photos if they are picked. I also agree that no one person or company should have more than 2 bikes in the calendar. We should do it like the XSOTM where they need to be nominated (we can skip the part where the nomination needs to be seconded) and then the owner needs to post that they accept. After that we'll have a huge vote. So basically, if you nominate someone other than yourself, contact the owner and have them accept the nomination by posting in this thread. Make sure they understand if they get picked they need to supply high quality photos in the next few weeks for the calendar.

This is exactly right. All photos should be at least 11.25" wide by 8.75" tall (3375 x 2625 px) and no less than 300 dpi (dots per inch)

We're starting to get some momentum and like a couple guys have said we need to get keep moving this along if we want them in January. There are some great nominees in my opinion and we just need to get all rights and owners to sign off. This sort of thing happened last year until people saw the calendars available for sale and then we ended up running out. It's up to us to do the leg work and they rest will follow as they say.

We will use the same format as last year. 1 main photo on top with two or three detail photos on the dates page. Thanks to all who have nominated and for the owners for accepting, and to Travis and the others keeping this going. I know I want another one to throw on the wall when it's time for the new year!

Last year we had an XS1 in the calendar and i think it would be a good to have an XS2 this year. You know, just keep it as a collectors thing if we ever get 13 calenders out then they will cover all the models.

I will accept any nomination....I will post a few quality pics and give you any and all rights. Thanks for the love! I will have some for you all tomorrow. Where shall I post them? Lemmeknow, again....thanks!

good idea.... :thumbsup:

*Edit*

We don't need high resolution pics for the nominees just for the winners that will be used in the calendar. I will send a message to the winners after the voting is held with an email to send pics to.

Hey no worries man. Good luck to all the nominees. Really good looking bikes coming from members of this site.

It would be cool to diversify and have 1 or 2 from the following build types

Bobber
Tracker
boardtracker
Cafe
Resto
etc..

HAHAH...nothing at all. I am not sure why, I just went out and shot a few before I went to work and didn't even think about it. Next sunny day I will put up some lefties

The member has to accept a nomination and if he does it may be best to pick a bike then get him to accept that one. Can't nominate all the bikes you posted.

650Skull · Nov 22, 2013

Its now the 23rd of November and these bikes have to be voted on yet, so by the time they gety voted on and pics sent and the calender made and sent it will be February.

Hughs bike doesn't qualify. It was in this years calendar

Just sent a PM to all the members bikes i posted, asking them to accept there nomination. I suggest every one else who posted a bike do the same

Lets get this done
