No disrespect to the build or owner..............Very nice bike............When the rear brake is finished, pods on and ridden to the end of the driveway and back it's finished. Not fair to daily riders if your still on the bike lift

2018 awaits

I know and understand. Just wanted to update an earlier comment from another member saying he hoped the bikes be competed in time.
 
I might be halucinating, but I was looking over previous calendars and i could have sworn i saw a couple or maybe a few bikes in those that were nominated this time??? Am I nuts or is there something to this?
 
Back with the 6th edition - of the official XS650 Calendar for 2018!

Timing will be critical, as we are aiming to get these out to you before year end! The format remains the same with 4 phases of the project.

Phase 1) • NOMINATIONS - 7 days
Phase 2) • VOTING STAGE - 7 days
Phase 3) • WINNERS SEND PICS - 7 days (If you are nominated and would like to get some nice photos of your bike, now would be a great time to do so in the fall before the snow flies.)
Phase 4) • Production/delivery/shipping


Nominations
1. NEW - Nominate UP-TO 3 bikes that you'd like to see in the calendar for 2018. Nominee must be member with their bike/build posted on XS650.com. (We are looking for another great mix this year so we are limiting each person to 3 nominations) Post your nomination(s) here in this thread with a picture.
2. Contact the owner and let them know of the nomination.
3. Nominations must be seconded by another member.
4. Nominations must be accepted by owner to be included in the voting thread.
5. You ARE allowed to self nominate (must be seconded to be considered for voting)
6. You ARE allowed to second nominate more than one bike.

Voting
1. Top 24+ bikes with nominations seconded by a member and accepted by owner, make it to voting stage.
2. Vote for your favorite 13 bikes (Voting thread)
3. Will be a set time for voting opening and closing.

Calendar Selection Winners
1. Must send Name, Location, Bike year/model, and short BIO to me via email.
2. Must have (or take) high resolution photos.
3. Must get all info emailed by date TBD.

As always we will have a pre-sale for those of you who want to ensure your calendar. We will have banners and links on the site and Facebook. If you Pre-Order you're guaranteed a calendar. After the pre-sale they are first come first serve. We've ran out every year and we've had guys order 5 to 10 at a time!

I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE NEW ENTRIES

LETS GET NOMINATING

Nominations started off slow so I gave it a few extra days. I think we usually have around 24 bikes and do the voting thread. We have 22 bikes with nominations and seconds so we will go with that. Look for the voting thread.
 
I'm looking at the rules...I didn't know nominations needed to be Accepted! (I always skim over the important stuff:doh:) I messaged Iron Heart, but noticed he hasn't logged on for some time. Should I nominate another???
Either way, I ACCEPT mine! Thanks all!
 
Travis normally does the voting post. He is currently out of town and wont be able to get the voting thread up until possibly Monday. I am not exactly sure how to create the voting poll but will try to get it done. Otherwise we may have to wait until Monday unless someone more familiar knows how to post it.

Are the pics we have posted the final submission for a Calendar, or are we just voting on bikes that would then later get a better picture taken?
 
We only need A good pic for the voting thread. I think he just pulls a picture from the nominations thread. I will have the winners email me directly the files to keep voting thread size down and to keep it simple. I will need the high resolution images for producing the calendar.
 
Yeah that's what I'm coming up with too. Johnnyc14's bike was never seconded probably because no picture was posted. We never got an accept from IronHeartCycles, jtziggy, or metal. And 660smc never accepted either, but his bike was in the 2016 calendar so it doesn't matter. So that means we only have 17 accepted bikes. I'd like to have a few more before posting the voting thread. I'll give it until Monday when I get back from being out of town and then I'll post the voting thread.
 
jtziggy might have tried to accept in post 84, but I'm not sure. Also, we need a finished photo from LeDom for the voting thread.

If any other nominations already made it into our other calendars, like 660smc and BrassNeck's, we'll have to exclude those as well. Anyone see any others?
 
oops.............sorry for my lack of research. It's still a beauty

I'd also like to nominate 660smc's beautiful XS2....
