2014 BuellXB calender!

[Loki]

Since no one has started the thread up I will choose to do the calendars again this year.

The rules will be a little different this time. Each member will be able to only upload ONE photo. You can NOT use photos that have been used in the previous calendars. You may upload photos that you have submitted as long as they were not chosen.
Any member that uploads more then ONE photo will not have his/her photo in the calendar!

You have TWO weeks to upload photos, I will then create a thread for voting on the photos and their months. Updated = uploading of photos end 10/20/13. Then voting would be 10/20/13-10/31/13.

Vote on the photos you like in this thread. You may of course vote for 12 photos. You MUST USE this template since we are running late this year. (Copy and paste, then fill out)

This thread will be two weeks long and afterwards I will make another for voting on the months.
That thread will be TEN days long. Then I will go and get the calendars made and will hopefully begin shipping around December.

Sorry the rules are a little tighter this time around, this will just make it easier on me and also allow us to get the calendars done.

As far as payment. Expect the price to be $22 shipped for one calendar. Additional calendars will be able to combine shipping for up to 3 calendars. Payment will be made using paypal (reason for the extra 2 bucks is for the fees). Payments are not being accepted till the month voting thread. If anyone wants to safe money I will allow them to pay $20 if they pay the fees or pay as a gift. If you do not have paypal please contact me regarding payment. When you do pay state your forum name, real name, and number of calendars you want to buy.

Last thing for payment, PLEASE have your address in your paypal account (Not the comments during payment)! This makes it WORLDS easier for me to make labels.

SPONSORS! If you would like to donate or buy ad space please contact me via email or a PM.

IF your photo is chosen you must email me the HIGH RES photo to [email protected]. I will not hunt you down for the photo, the next person in line will then be chosen.

Im sure I am forgetting something but lets start the show.

Here is my photo to start it off-

The only issue i have, this is like "hey surprise 1 week go!" I forsee the calendars being a complete flop with such little time to prepare.

I for example will not be able to submit in that short of time, cause i wont reuse any of my previous pictures cause thats boring, and the bike is down while i wait for parts to get my chain conversion done. Also i work all week so gives me no time to rush the bile together snap a pic then submit on time.

[Enemy Zero]

I'll throw in my contribution. I know it's nothing fancy but I really like this pic from this past weekend.

[Loki]

The problem with stretching it out two weeks guys is the calendars will then either be late in dec or in jan getting to you guys. Youve had all year to take pictures of your bikes. I think this has been a slow year in terms of photos.

(Sorry, huge brain fart for forgetting about November!)

Can a mod edit my post to make the uploading of photos end 10/20/13. Then voting would be 10/20/13-10/31/13. That would leave nov for the calendars to be made and for them to be shipped around the beginning of Dec.

Yes, I actually forgot about a month being there for Nov. Thats even my birthday month!

I didn't even notice the passenger until I read it.

I don't have any good pics of my bike.....

[oh9bolt]

Any member that uploads more then ONE photo will not have his/her photo in the calendar!

^ Disqualified.

:)

[Loki]

Yes sorry Route your photos will not be able to be in the final run for getting into the calendar. (unless you can get a mod to delete a photo, I will pretend I did not see)

A lot of good photos everyone. Just a few more things. If you don't think or you know your photo is not very "poster" quality, do not clutter up the thread with it. Tho this isnt just for professional photos, but your cell phone photo blown up to fit on a page will look terrible. Also I want to note, if you are select to be entered into the calendar I reserve the right to edit your photo to try and enhance the quality.

For example, I had to edit a plane out of a picture last year, had to remove a flag pole from someones, and had to lighten up a few. So the changes I make will be for better visual enhancements.

And if you are wanting to upload a photo of women on your bike, there are no rules against this from me. You could even try and get topless pictures in the calendar and I wouldn't care (though we would need a SFW version then) but no nudes can be posted on the site.

If I take awhile to respond to an email, PM, thread or am a day or two late to posting updates have patience please. I am a full time student working two jobs as well as being a reservist. I might get a little busy. :)

everyone PLEASE READ THE RULES SO YOU DONT GET DISQUALIFIED. I hate to do that to someone but this comes down to paying attention and reading before you go posting.

How many poster quality pictures do you think there is here? And we are not able to close uploading just yet.

[Big twin]

How many poster quality pictures do you think there is here?

Yes but let's not forget that all the pictures that were loaded through BuellXB loose thier "sharpness". I know mine has. I had to resize it so much to compress it that it became all "fuzzy" ....

[07Bolt]

:D Actually, I might have to withdraw my pic. Since I no longer have the bike [smirk]

But I'm counting roughly 12 pics ( 7 that are a def)

Not including my pic.

[Enemy Zero]

I have a great pic my father took of Miguel Duhamel doing a burnout on a Blast that would make a great calendar submission but I don't know if it will get disqualified seeing as I submitted a pic earlier.

[Loki]

Well if it is for someone else then Ill allow it. but they have to own the bike and you have to know them. It would be nice to get a blast in there, I dont think there has ever been a blast on the calendars.

[Enemy Zero]

I'll post them here and you can make the choice if you like. My father teaches Riders Edge classes at the local Harley/Buell dealer here and after Miguel Duhamel's contract with Honda was up he wanted to get licensed for the street (Funny for a guy that's ridden at the MotoGP level to have to take a rider course) so my father asked if he could get a couple pics of him on the training bike. He decided to do a burnout on it. My father sent the pic to Erik Buell and actually got a response back saying it really helped cheer him up during the shutdown.

Here's the pics. I'll only post the first one to show that it's actually him, the second pic is the submission pic.

I thought these were pretty cool as he was a guy I watched racing as I was growing up. Don't see that every day on a Blast.

im planning on getting some photos this week. the weather seems to be clearing up finally.

[rah7777777]

Some good pictures!!

[Internet Annoyance]

Uh, just for clarification, is this open to ALL Buells or only XB and Blasts? What about a Tuber? (IE 1997 S1 lightning?) I have been cleaning my shop and storage areas and could pull out my S1 for a pix, Also, what if i POSTED a lower Res pix and sent an email with the same pix with the full size? Reason being, Im not very good at resizing pix, so most i submit here i take with a old Sony Mavica camera with the 3.5 floppy (Go ahead, laugh at the fat old guy with no skills you know you want to) But most pix i take are with a much better Digital camera. I can assure you It would be the same bike, time, place, just 2 different cameras.

I also have some pix from a Bike show and swap meet I put on each year, I added a second part to the event to try and broaden peoples interests. So I did a "Orphan Bike show" for bikes no longer being manufactured, IE: Buell,
I got great feedback for doing it,. but only 3 Buells showed up. One of which is a forum member. I have pix of them with a young 22 year old model who dressed very retro and she did trophy presentations. Her style is mostly 1950s that day as it IS a Vintage vehicle museum event, But I have some good pix with her and several buells, Tuber and XB. Its on my good camera so not so easy for me to post, and while it was my event, They are NOT my bikes. Thought i would mention them.

Alright - here's mine. I was hoping to have another nice day before the deadline to snap a few more pics, but this one'll hopefully do :)

How many months in a year ? I think there's to many good pictures now .... :p

[djs2k2]

Yeah can we do honorable mentions or something? I will only get a vote from myself!

[50dro]

IF it's decided to use more than one per month, you may look at doing something like this. This is a calendar that they're making on an XR1200 forum I belong to:

http://www.buellxb.com/buell_images/3525_20131017064708_L.jpg

In this case, the moderator just chose random cool pics that were posted over the last year. Again...just an idea IF we wanted to incorporate more pics...

[djs2k2]

O dear god can we please do something like that. I think that this will sell more calendars as well![up]
50Dro [up]
DJS2k2 [up] for honorable mentions

[J20tD]

I'm not sure if we will have enough pictures to do that for every month. However, we could do the months just like they are now with one picture. Then on the cover do a combination of pictures like above? Just an idea

[50dro]

...or one main pic for the winners with just a few smaller ones around them for the runners up. The sky is the limit with these online printing companies. Lots of templates to chose from.

Just keep in mind guys, this may prove to be a royal PITA for Loki so we should reserve the final judgement for him since he's volunteered to do this. [up] Loki!

[J20tD]

[up] Thanks in advanced Loki! Appreciate all your work on the calendars!
Very well put 50dro!!

[djs2k2]

Loki[up]

[djs2k2]

We have 47 pics already if he wanted it to be like those calendars he could do one big pic and 2 med pics on each side. If he did that we would only need 60 pics total with 12 being winners. Just a though or suggestion. If you already know what you are doing and are not open to suggestions just let me know. I really appreciate you taking on this task. [up]

[Big twin]

The only thing we(Loki) have to decide is do we(Loki) want a winners calendar or a members calendar ...

[djs2k2]

We are all winners we ride Buells :D[up]

[sky56]

I agree with the above post from djs2k2. I love my buell and i love the stares it gets all the time. Even if my pics dont make it Ill gladly buy a calendar and hang it proudly in my garage.

[DrogeN Omen]

^^ agree [up]

[Big twin]

Gotta love the stares !!! And the "what kind of bike is that? It's Italian isn't it ?"

[Loki]

No. There will NOT be more then one picture for each month.
You can thank 50dro for ruining the chance and trying to change everything! HOW ABOUT YOU DO THE CALENDARS THEN!?































j/p. I will however see what I can do about adding a contributors page in the back. ;)

[Bello]

For a sec i thought dad just slapped mom

[Enemy Zero]

We are all winners we ride Buells

Agreed! [up]

[djs2k2]

Loki 50dro was also saying for everyone to thank you for taking on this huge task. Unless I misread your last post?
