        You got that right. I see all those nice, shiney bikes then hop on my beater and off we go. Would like to do a frame-up and incorporate all the great ideas that have been put forth on this list. In the mean time, I wipe off some of the bugs, check the oil level and tire pressures, and get on the road.

          I certainly won't be offended if you don't use mine. Just use whatever ones you want. It's cool just to have a XS calendar!

            It's all good when it comes to XS11's!

            Doubling up on the pictures ain't a bad idea. Can you imagine if Sports Illustraded's Calander did that?

              Randy: No, I came to my senses and kept it. Too many people said you'll be sorry if you do so I didn't. I'm planning on riding her to XSEast next year, wherever it may be!

                ALRIGHT! that is good news, but it does look better than mine. Yours is the most completely stock one I've ever seen.

                        Wow

                        I agree, nice looking bikes and a VERY nice background. Makes me want to go back home for at least a summer and ride the Northeast 'till it's too cold then ride back to Cali. Hmmmm, road trip idea.... I'm sure the '78 E (The Pathfinder) would make it just fine and love it even, but I'm getting a little old for all day rides every day. But I aint giving up on the idea just yet. Maybe trailer it across country that way SWMBO can go too.
                        You can't stay young forever, but you can be immature for the rest of your life...

                          My bike to the right has the Jardine pipes, Gary's to the left has the Kerker.

                            Suggestion?

                            Hey Kat;

                            Maybe what you could do, is add an additional double page layout showing thumbnail pics of photo's of bikes that didn't make the "top 12" (January to December '09) on the top half and, either of a) a December '08 calendar on the lower half or, b) a 12 month calendar of 2009 on the lower half or, c) - my preference - a 12 month calendar for the year 2010 on the lower half.

                            That way, you could have any number of pics incorporated into the additional calendar page and, you could even use the thumbnail pics as a basis to vote for the pics to be used in the 2010 calendar.

                                could always have a poll on the pics and leave it up to memebers to vote for what gets put in the calendar, seeing as it's an election year?
