    too late for the second calendar?

    I know my bike isn't exactly beautiful but, I figured I would try... Here's an ok shot, use it if you like, I will see if I can do better. That wasn't exactly the nicest sun set.... is it ok to use black and white photos?

      If I can make at least one person smile, or pee their pants a little, or maybe spit out their drink; then my day is not wasted.

        I have some really cool photos from the Adirondacks but none of them would make good calendar pictures b/c my faded blue tank looks black and isn't very presentable... otherwise the views are spectacular. I'm going to see if I can do a little better, let me get back to you.

            Spectacular views are always welcome... send them on even if you think the bike isn't presentable. As was said, "beauty is in the eye... blah blah blah"
            lol



            Thanks Arlan!
            Nice shots!

            The Midnight looks REALLY good too

                  Hey Stepp...
                  that's pretty cool!
                  I like the added color in the field

                  What do you think Wade?

                    It looks just as good in person as it does in the pictures. Nice job Arlan.

                            I think it's good as it is... If I need a higher res, I'll let you know
                            I usually don't take the pics with people in them... but this one is COOL!

                              I like it, amazing what a little doctoring up will do to a photo!

                              Feel free to use it unless I end up getting a "better" one.
