2022 XS650 calendar submission *Nominations*

People might be excused for not spotting Arvis' beautiful XS - he has been quietly working away on it in Lithuania and there is a postings gap of six years in the build thread. Makes it a stealth build? But must be a contender.

Bjorn's bike has been hidden in plain sight in a 500 carb thread.

IMO both worthy bikes.
 
I would like to nominate @Bjorn .

I second that.
 
I notice there a few of you regular guys that haven't nominated............If you don't know of any bike go through the "Lets see the XS" sticky at the top of the garage page. a lot of gems in there that weren't posted as a build thread. Make sure you send a PM to the member or they may not know they have been nominated



I count 14 bikes so far. While that would make voting easy, it'd be more fun with more bikes. Come on guys...

Nominate more bikes!

This is why i suggested it be kept as a sticky in the garage, to try to keep it where people can see it when they are where most of the action is
 
XS'ers,
It's (PAST) that time a year again to nominate, vote, and decide who will be featured in the 2022 XS650 calendar! I'd like to see more nominations this year than EVER! We've got some work to do as I have been crushed at work and I am a little behind so everyone that spreads the word on this will help keep this thing alive.

This will be the official thread for the 2022 XS650 Calendar. NOW is the time to get quality photos if you want to be nominated or have a shot at being selected in the calendar. Deadlines are going to have to be tight this year as I am a little behind. I am feeling very optimistic with a goal of shipping calendars in early November.

PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST:

Post UP TO (3) nominations here in this thread with a picture. Nominations MUST INCLUDE PHOTO AND MEMBER NAME IN POST. Please notify the member you have nominated to accept nomination. NOMINATION PHOTOS DO NOT NEED TO BE HIGH RESOLUTION.

Phase 1: NOMINATIONS - Through October 2nd or 24+ Bikes (whichever comes sooner)
Phase 2: VOTING STAGE - October 4-10th
Phase 3:

PHOTO REMINDER: NOW is a good time to get some nice photos of your bike if you would like to be nominated before riding season is over and the snow falls. If no pictures or contact has been made after a week the next member with the most votes is in so make sure to follow all calendar threads.

PHOTO TAKING NOTES: Most smartphone cameras now take high resolution photos if that is all you have.
1.) Make sure your phone is turned sideways (landscape) when taking photos
2.) Always leave enough background space on all sides. This makes it better when cropping and preparing the layout of the main images. I can be zoom in and crop but can't add background and your bike will get cut off on the page
3.) Please do not use filters as this will degrade the image in all likelihood.
4.) Send the raw camera files (full size image) from phone or camera, nothing from the internet

This is my 1979 XS650 Special II adapted for handicapped use. I have installed a Pingel electric shifter (with push button handlebar controls) where the left foot peg should be, and a highway bar for my left foot (since I can't bend my left leg). California license plate is HDCP 650 (Handicapped 650); the toolbag holds a folding cane (the handle is visible). Supertrapp exhaust; red oil reservoir for engine vent. Ducati hydraulic clutch conversion; two-pod front brake with vented disc; flat track handlebars, new black gas tank without badges from Mike's XS. Custom speedometer and cylinder head temperature gauge; shorty shocks, recovered seat with one inch high-density foam, Magura grips; LED turn signals and headlight.

@Boopduke, Now the owner has to accept the nomination.....


I am the owner--and builder--of this motorcycle. That's boopduke not poopduke!

Apologize.......corrected...........

Posting pics without any words tells us nothing. ( if you had self nominated a said so it would have coverd the calendar regulations), That's why i asked for some clarification.........Checked your old posts and media and couldn't find any reference to the bike......So again, why i asked.............i remember it being posted before..........well done
