So many great photos didn't make it this year. It was an upset year. Lots of old names didn't make it.

I think the motto for 2023 should be "It's on, bitches". The gauntlet has clearly been thrown down and 2023 is going to take some work to make the calendar.

Great job to those who made it and those who didn't. The photos this year were so good!

You can not rush perfection...

We are working it, and the links will be posted everywhere, so even an one-eyed blind man could find it...

I'm honored to be chosen again. Much moreover, as for next year, I hope to ride to places with as many of you as possible to where photographs can be taken. If one or two of those ends up in the contest, fine. But my true reward will be spent long before the contest starts.

Stay thirsty, my friends.....

Well, there surely was an error in the calculations... Definitely a firmware issue - we'll have to recalculate once I find my abacus and slide rule...

Designflaw's graphic team is working on the cover and page layout now. Once the site is set up for orders, I'll turn the banner announcement back on with a link to it.

There really was a wealth of beautiful photos this year. Congrats to all who found those beautiful spots, and recognized the need to take a moment off the bike to capture part of the ride.

I'm seeing the benefit of this already. My memory is not what it used to be. Not to long ago, I was searching for a photograph from a m/c trip way back. I was looking for a picture that I took of a sign that was relevant to a conversation my wife and I were having. Anyhoo, I got sucked up into going through a BUNCH of trips and I was quickly reminded of a LOT that I forgot. I grabbed a beer and started browsing. Then I grabbed a second. Halfway through the 3rd beer (now over 2 hours in), I found the picture I was looking for.

When this fat ass is old and decrepit, and is forced to sit in his own crap, you can bet I will have plenty to keep me entertained.....

Not Yet.

As posted here, when the purchase link is ready, we will post it everywhere - it will be spattered everywhere so that even a one-eye'd blind man can see it.

OK guys, the day has finally arrived. The calendar purchase links are here: viewtopic.php?t=6905

Thanks for being patient. We had a family emergency that has been the priority the last 2 weeks, leaving me little time to get things put together. Regardless, I hope you guys like the calendar for this coming year!
