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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!
