It struck me today while reading the "Lets see your SOHC on the road" that we should have a SOHC calendar for 2013. Since its summer and you are all out riding then it shouldnt be too much of a challenge to go and take some scenic shots of you and your bike and submit the best photos to this thread for inclusion in the 2013 calendar.

Requirements for submission:

1. 12 photos in total will be selected (obviously).
2. Photos must have been taken in 2012
3. Photos should be accompanied by location of  photo, bike model/year and you should state that you agree that the photo can be used for the SOHC Calendar.
4. Nice clear photos with an interesting backdrop stand a better chance of getting in (wild scenery, shops, bridge, race track, hot biker chick etc etc...get creative!)  - a photo of your bike in the driveway wont cut it.

No idea how much each calendar will cost at this stage but I have bought other motorcycle calendars for about $20. All profits will go to the SOHC forum.

So get out and get riding and get snapping ;)
Good luck!
Andy

If there's going to be a poll on which photos go into the calendar, I nominate this for the cover.  ;)
