Hello. I gratefully accept the nomination. Thank you very much.

 

[Bumblebee]

So many great bikes that look so good! I fear I won't make the cut...

I want to say good luck to everyone!
Any bike that gets in the calender should feel honored because the competition is fierce!

 

[TX650A Van Islander]

Wow that is a really nice looking bike Jim! That calendar was before my time on the forum. I had not seen those photos.

 

[gggGary]

Thanks Bill, can't wait to see it! I'll respect the other fine entries and decline a nomination this year.

Paul's Nighthawk page and the CX500 page are both excellent. That said, arguably, this XS650 is the best forum I have visited on motorcycles or on any car I have owned. A goldmine of information, camaraderie, and positivity in a crazy world.

Get ready. You might win a spot. Pay attention and you will receive instructions. For now, go take some award winning photos.

@magoo66 If you take better photos soon, I can update the voting thread to use them. You can also self-promote and post additional pictures in the voting thread once it's created.

That’s answered my question.On it.Thank-you

 

[magoo66]

A few clearer pictures.

 

[samoran1]

I'll contact the members voted into the calendar with specific details. ...BUT yes, now would be the time to take good photos!

Angles i'd recommend: FRONT, FRONT 1/4, SIDE, BACK 1/4, REAR. repeat for other side.

I can always zoom and crop but can't enlarge what isn't there...
