        That's not a bad idea... but I'm slightly limited because of the set up at CafePress... I think I might have come up with a solution though...

        That would make this a democracy... and I run a dictatorship... at least until John gets home...
        Seriously... let me see what I can come up with... I might be able to do that...

        Thanks to all for the input...
        and the great pics!

          Calendar pics

          Kat, keep accepting pics until you tire of it and then select the twelve you like best. We're big boys and can handle a little disappointment, and we'll strive to take better pics in the future. Besides, I know it isn't the first time you've had to choose among various suitors...

              Yeah well... I couldn't make decisions then, either... Which made things really interesting at times...

              It's highly encouraged... especially anyone with... ahem... spare... Midnight parts...



              (I saw your bike pic and saved a copy... I'll get this figured out... eventually...)

                If my bike photos are bumped for this one (JRplumber1), I won't lose any sleep. That engine sure is purty!

                    Shameless plug, for a bike that has already seen duty as a "January" in a previous calendar, but here it is again anyways!!

                      Gee... thanks Ken...

                      as if this wasn't difficult enough already...



                      Thank you...




                      I COULD use some more pics of XJs... I have one pic at the moment... I'd like to have a little more representation from the Maxims...

                      bwilding... once I get it set up... I'll give the link to order the calendar...

                          ok here is the most beautiful dark blue xs ever!

                          the one from behind would be cool on the back of the calender...
                          also one from the side would be good for october since we just had our new baby girl two weeks ago. and about 20 people in my family are born in october...

                                I like it a lot too. Makes me wish I went with that for my SH which I had painted maroon last year. I had my SG painted Candy Red which looks fine but the maroon, not sure if I like it.

                                For the SH, I almost went with a forrest green metalic and again, almost, had my seat reupholstered in a tan. I chickened out.
