My 2018 XS650 calendar arrived in the mailbox on January 5th.
I have no problem with that date as I don't buy the calendars I send to others
until they go on sale at 40% off which won't be until this weekend.
And I have no problem with the XS650 calendar, I think it's just about perfect.
But as my son is a qualified photographer, he's not happy with the January photo.
Too effin' dark, he sez. Artistic shadows is all very well but not if you can't see the bike.
And the December photo really pissed him off.
Muttering about depth of field and such. Five whole minutes of full-blown photographic
techno-babble which boiled down to, the bike ain't quite in focus.
Looks OK to me, I said. And you drive with those eyes? he replied
OTOH, he really likes the bikes.
And yeah, when do the XS650 calendars go on sale at 40% off?
