And when I say "submission" I am not talking about what that girl did in Fifty Shades of Gray, I mean something different.
Man, you are on fire tonight redfish! :D

FWIW, I can't vote from Tapatalk. I feel I'm being cheated. I'll live. Ha!

Oh, and Redfish, 50 Shades of Gray is not a training video. Calm down!

You would be getting cheated... If the photo had to include yourself. Ugly as you are there is no way you could win.

As for 50 Shades... It depends on what you are training to do!

I'm counting 77 votes. With 12 possible votes per voter, that averages out to 6 to 7 members voting.

...not counting the dead guys.

Well it was only 6 votes for a little while.

Still working on getting the additional pictures in the poll. I started working on the artwork so I can drop the winning pictures in place once the voting is done.

I voted early and now I'm afraid the other candidates that have been added have been disenfranchised. :stickpoke:



But I aint complaining. :D

I did not see my picture on the poll, did I do something wrong?
I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!

leaving out the best machine of all time would be a travesty.
I think he's going for travesty. :lol:

The only thing you did wrong was get here late. ;) Nah, I just think he was only allowed 20 slots and they filled up quick. For what it's worth, I would be voting for yours because it is such an awesome shot, and not just because I loved my 04s.

I will gladly withdraw my pos photo to get yours in!

My bad, I didn't read enough of the details. I get it, late = out. But I like the idea of making a calendar for sure.

If he's up for swapping mine out for yours, I AM GOOD WITH THAT. Yours is an awesome photo, and definitely should be in the top 20!

I strongly object to this "swapping out". I must have missed the 20 picture cut-off number. I will have to go back and re-read things.

Yes, Cav has a great photo. Yes, it is a wonderful bike and yes, Cav is a great guy. (Holy F***. Did I actually just type that?) I do recall reading that a HiRes picture will be required. Is that cell phone pic going to work? I am just asking, not criticizing.

Wheaton, all the photos are great. Yours is actually a little bit more awesome than you think. You have the sunlight hitting the subject and the background just right. You have a beautiful background location. You have the first of the Gen3 bikes. If any of these pics is calendar worthy, your photo certainly is.

Let us see how this plays out before we start withdrawing anything.

Andrew is right, (even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while). My pic is a cell phone picture. I don't own a high res version. Swapping out is prob a bad idea since I cannot fulfil the requirements.

If it's true that a hi-res pic is required, mine can be removed as it's a cell phone shot! I think the only thing it has going for it is snow in the background (thought it might work for a Dec-Jan-Feb thing).

Well, even cell phone photos can be like 2mb...wouldn't that be enough? What is the definition of hi-res? My photo is a cell phone photo with 2MB size...if that ain't enough, I'm out as well.

But I would have to believe 2mb would be enough for this motley crew.

Unless its a flip phone, there's a good chance that the cell phone picture is fine. You just have to have the original file, not something off Facebook.

I'm still waiting on Wayne for getting additional pictures in, without resetting the votes. Worst case scenario, we'll set a cutoff date for pictures, then we'll reset and everyone can vote after that.

Still working it out, bear with me.

I thank you for doing this. Regardless of which pictures "win" we are all going to be winners here. This calendar is going to be Epic.

No rush or anything but...

I want to give these as Christmas presents. Are you done yet? :?: :twisted: :lol:
