View Full Version : 2008 Calendar - Still have some left!
raysheen 31st October 2007, 04:07 Just a heads up to let you guys know that the calendar is now in production!
Ordering will open sometime in the next couple of days.
Price will be somewhere around ~$16.80 shipped for those who didn't get in on the initial buy (don't quote me on that price I don't have my paperwork in front of me at the moment)
Questions that I've been getting:
Q: Can I order if I'm not in the US?
A: Yes! We will ship the calendars worldwide. There will be an option for this on the order page. The calendar will cost the same, but there will be a small surcharge for postage.
Q: Can I pay with paypal?
A: Yes, you can pay with paypal or just about any method that you would like.
Q: When can I order?
A: "Regular" (non-early-bird-special) ordering will open this week and will close in another week or two.
Q: When will my calendar arrive?
A: Calendars are currently being produced and should tentatively arrive in your mailbox by the second week in December.
ALANXL1200RRR 31st October 2007, 04:44 Good times.... I will def order one. WHy didnt I get in on the pre-order?!?!?!? "DOH"
The guy with the 883C 31st October 2007, 05:43 Cool. Thanks for the update!
Haggisman14 31st October 2007, 06:16 Not sure if i missed it, but is there a thread w/the bikes that were picked, or is it a surprise?
el jinete fantasma 31st October 2007, 08:10 Can wait!!!!
Stingray 31st October 2007, 17:13 Already placed my pre-order, and am now pashantly wait!
Thanks for all you work on this and other projects of the past!
bplinson 31st October 2007, 20:01 Can't wait to get mine in the mail.
Thanks for the effort you put into this John.
raysheen 31st October 2007, 23:56 Not sure if i missed it, but is there a thread w/the bikes that were picked, or is it a surprise?
That is super top secret information that even Bert with his mind ray cannot extract from me! :laugh
No one knows...but the users' preferences in the voting thread were weighed heavily on this one.
el jinete fantasma 1st November 2007, 00:10 Will there be a separate Nightster calendar?
Sorry, couldn't resist. :p
Paulie420 1st November 2007, 06:18 This'll be my 3rd calander to date and I can say Raysheen really outdoes himself every year with this one!
Thanks a bunch!
Also anyone wondering which bikes made the calander... I can tell ya one thing, 12 or more badass rockstar bikes are in the pages. That's why it's worth it to order every year! Real bikes with real owners and all sportys.
Are we doing a charity this year? I imagine because of the low cost we are not... Either way, Raysheen and this project rock! Get em while they're hot!

bplinson 18th December 2007, 21:29 I got an email from Johns wife. John has been out sick for a while and she is trying to get all the calenders out by the end of the week.
rssalinas1 18th December 2007, 21:36 How do I order a calendar? Or is it too late.
Moe47 18th December 2007, 22:00 Moe47 did PayPal send you the shipping conformation? Just wondering I ordered two on the early bird special and have not heard anything yet.
I ordered during the early bird also, I don't remember if the conformation was sent by paypal or USPS? I think maybe USPS.
Edit: Tell him get well and thank his wife for helping. I could wait, John's health and family are more important than me getting the calendars!

el jinete fantasma 18th December 2007, 22:19 I got an email from Johns wife. John has been out sick for a while and she is trying to get all the calenders out by the end of the week.

wowee1 20th December 2007, 20:28 Got my calendar this morning. Looks great!:banana
Just a suggestion though. When there was a shortage of pictures to do a calendar this year, many of us went out and spent many hours trying to take some decent pictures so this project could happen. It would be nice, as in the past, to include a montage of the many pictures that were sent in. It's really cool to see your bike on the calendar, if only in a montage. And it would help in future projects as well, by encouraging everyone to participate.
emzdogz 20th December 2007, 22:33 Guess I *did* order one. Got it today...looks really great. It will brighten my office!
:)
Moe47 21st December 2007, 03:40 Got my calendar today! I like it! :D 13 great pictures. A Sportster only calendar is a wonderful thing, my wife got me a Harley calendar that is also nice but only 1 Sporty in the whole thing. This one is way mo betta.
Thanks to John and Johns wife for putting forth the effort to make this happen!:urock
Hope you are feeling better John.

Thanks! I had just finished taking a black & white photography class when I took those. My portfolio theme was reflections, I mainly did trees and clouds in water. I loved that class, when I'm all done with school I'm going to take some more photo classes.
I hope it comes today!
Thanks again John for all your work, and thanks Moe for filling me in about the calendar.
Malloy 21st December 2007, 20:30 Just got mine...it will look nice in the office!
raysheen 21st December 2007, 21:04 Hi Guys, I'm back...not dead...only wished I was for a while :frownthre
A huge thanks goes out to "Mrs. raysheen" since she mailed many of your calendars out while I was sick. Terribly sorry for not keeping you guys in the loop. I hope that Bert got the message from my wife and posted here (haven't read through this thread yet to see if he got it). I hope that everyone enjoys the calendar this year and I'd like some feedback in the coming months if you prefer the larger pictures with smaller number of bikes or if you would like to go back to the old method of putting a bunch of bikes in the calendar with smaller pictures.
This year we had the most geographically diverse orders ever.
From California to Maine, Mexico, Canada, Sweden, UK, Germany, Australia, and I'm sure I'm missing a few more. Geeze I guess that crazy idea about a Sportster forum that Bert had a few years ago really caught on!
Enjoy and a Merry Christmas / holiday season to everyone!
PS It's possible that a few of you didn't get tracking numbers sent to you but don't worry, your calendar is on it's way to you!
Edit: just saw that Bert did, in fact, get the message from the Mrs. and let you guys know!
Urrell 21st December 2007, 21:24 Great to have you back.
Where is my calendar :roflblack:roflblack:roflblack
Rock Bottom 22nd December 2007, 02:32 Got mine in the mail today. Looking sweet.... Will be in my shop on Monday. Thanks for all the work putting it together.

gammaqueen 24th December 2007, 21:36 I voted for yours. I think you had some beautiful shots with the water and the fence. My Husband just called me at work to tell me my 2 calanders came today. He said my Bruiser is on the back. Hey, I am excited even about making the back. I can't wait to get home and see for myself. Congrats on the cover man, you deserve it!!

wandrur 26th December 2007, 09:19 Got mine on the 24th, too. Was already with my family, though, so I was unable to give one to my dad like I intended, but that just means he'll get a late Christmas present! :p
Calendar looks great! And we're glad you're not dead, John. ;) A big thanks to the Missus, too!!

g5guzzi 29th December 2007, 19:31 The calendar arrived today very good .Thoroughly enjoyed looking at the bikes only problem is my wife has claimed it.
malc
raysheen 10th January 2008, 14:25 I have a small number of calendars left if anyone would like them.
you can still place an order here: www.xlforum.info
I also have one sad calendar that belongs on the island of misfit toys. It has the following "character marks":
packing tape on front cover
extensive wear on front cover
worn page edges
two tears in front cover (this goes through into the January picture)
Act now and you will get TWO misaligned holes to hang it from instead of the usual one centered hole!
All this for shipping to wherever you are. Just be the first to claim it and it's yours!
Bends and dirt will be thrown in for free!
