Nope, most definitely not.

Or maybe it's a FJ Riders and I don't see any FJ pictures. :sherlock:

I understand, but your votes should reflect that. Rally enough members to your cause and none of the non-FJR will make the cut.
I would not even consider doing that. I personally would prefer every pic in the calendar to have at least one FJR in it but that was not part of the rules package. To try to sway votes away from someone else's picture would not be cool. I would like to think I have more class than that.

I wasn't trying to suggest you would sabotage or attempt to dishonestly sway the contest. I simply meant by just making your opinion known, which you did, others may reconsider their viewpoint. Poor wording on my part.

Don't worry, you still have a little class.

I haven't met Redfish yet but I can already tell he's got lots of class.

Agree with others - next year in my travels, I'll try to think "Calendar" while I've got my camera out.

Tim - I've got my credit card out. Just waiting for the link. Thanks for doing this.

I would come to RedFish's defense, but that would mean I like him. Despite the fact that he is of the utmost character and class, I am not going to state that.
His dad might of had something to do with raising him right. By no fault of Andrew's own is he a person of high class. It was all POPs for sure.


You guys know Andrew used to ride a ST1300. That should get him a time out at least!



Pants, that is a great idea. We would have a great time trying to calendar our rides. I would be up for getting a full calendar of my new bike.

Agreed, looking to pay up on this calendar. I am gonna actually buy 2. One will go in the same place your magazine article is.

Maybe next year, to change it up, we could submit photos of roads we've ridden, and keep in mind the month we rode them.
Such as this one I took in the month of October.

If there is one next year.

However, I like our bikes in the photo - more motocentric...even though I like all of your photos LKLD.

I did that ST13 thing too and he appeared differently on that forum way back then.... it wasn't until and FJR popped into his yard that we all found out it his then quieter nature had to be mostly one of fear of Mrs. Redfish, it must be she who keeps him in line....... although he seems to be breaking out of that shell a bit..... anyway, I think it's safe to say once we got FJR's we've never looked back.

Alright guys, I have the artwork done. I just want to see if I have any glaring errors. Check usernames, spellings, a=correct year, etc. It'll be up for sale once I get some OK's on it.

Hope you like it. These are in order of vote totals, not necessarily how they will be ordered in the calendar.

A little explanation:
LKLD and HotRodZilla's images were really low resolution. They made the calendar, but couldn't be a full page. So I made a page with several of the other submissions. Sorry, I couldn't get everybody.

The extra space at the bottom of the border is to allow for the spiral binding.

Looks great. I am unsure what you mean by a=correct year?

I can't find the year if that is what you mean.

Thank you for putting this together.

The year is on the cover. The last one I did, I put 2015 instead of 2016. Oops.

That exceeds my expectations. I will not clutter this post with a list of synonyms for "awesome". I will say that I am ready to pay whatever you ask and I want at least 3.

And Thank You.
