Yep there is. But there are plenty of worthy photos posted in this thread that are definitely worthy.

I'd like to get the voting page ready to go soon. Usually there are a handful of submissions right out of the gate.

I'll be in the mix. Like Wayne, I've got one more trip between now and the deadline. Ya never know what I might find.

I took FJRFarrier there last year when she stayed with us for a weekend so she could take some phots with her bike. This is new since that visit.

With SFO this weekend, I'd expect some more fodder soon for this year's calendar voting.

Another year that I have to reiterate that photos need to have higher resolution and I'm not using portrait orientation! There is no reason any camera should be set on less than full resolution.

I'm going to have two submittals: One of the FJR, and one of the Dual Sport. For the D/S, I'm still wavering between 2 choices.
