Alright guys, we're off to a good start with the selection of bikes nominated so far. BUT we are only up to 10 bikes. Attached is a list of bikes I have so far– seconded and accepted. Please let me know if I missed one.
We could 1.) get two more bikes and call it a calendar or 2.) NOMINATE A BUNCH MORE BIKES!
I like #2... Now is your chance to get your nominations for the calendar in. It will be the end of the year before you know it.
Reminder: You can self nominate!

Pete, he (samoran1) only notes Fred has not accepted yet. You might pm Fred.
I'll second girard's self-nomination.

I'll update list with these two, thanks!
Kinda hard for the general population to know what has been done in pm's.
Within the spirit of the contest a public acceptance in the thread may be better?

Agreed - but this results in less embarrassment I think.
Hi 2many,
thanks for the nomination which I will happily accept.
Alas, that photo is as good as it gets.
BTW here is my photobucket link:-

You will find a photo of me and the XS650 & orange sidecar taken ~2007
on there, a better quality copy of our wedding photo & feel free to use anything
else on there. Good luck fighting with Photobucket's allegedly improved site,
I've just about given up on it.

Here's a montage of posts concerning picture resolutions, sizes.
A full calendar page is 11" wide by 8.5" tall, very close to a 4:3 aspect ratio, which would make the width 3,300 pixels and height 2,550 pixels.
An 8Mp pic in 4:3 format almost meets that criteria.
My pics are 12Mp, about 4,000 x 3,000 pixels.
That means that an 8Mp pic in 4:3 format just barely makes it.
To reiterate from the first post, and from previous years:
"You will need to send 3 or 4 high quality photos of your bike with no logos or watermarks (min dimension to be posted later) and your name, location, bike year/model, and SHORT bike bio via email to Shawn."

I'd like to add these to WER's nomination.
If the two pics could somehow be fit on one month.....
PM me if you have any questions.

Now that would be outstanding!
Two young people, without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
And settle with just what they need
Living on love
Thank you, MM. Those simple words pretty well sum it up
Well if we are still coming up short i’ll Self nominate my recent ‘75 acquisition. I’ve not done a lot to it but it’s a clean representation in stock form.
