I was asked to put this photo in here and try to get it in the calendar. I have few more that I will post later.

This is in Iceland, in the Westfjords close to my hometown Ísafjörður on a cold day, around 4 degree celsius. We will have snow here soon! The bike is CB750K7 wich I recently imported from USA.



The best calendar shot I've seen, so far.

Druizil thanks for posting here and I can tell you now that mountain photo is getting into the Calendar as I  could easily look at it all month long ;). Unless you come up with something better  8)

I would encourage you to post as many photos of your bike + Iceland in the "Lets see your SOHC on the road" thread as I am sure there are many like me who want to see more of Iceland (with a bike theme to it).

thanks!
Andy

Will do, if tear down does not happen soon, winter is comming. Let me know where to send full resolution of the photo and thanks for using it.

Damfino some great shots there but unfortunately all calendar photos have to be taken in 2013 to qualify. The idea is to encourage people to get out and ride and take great bike photos in 2013. Thanks for posting in any case.

cheers

I'll follow Bear. This isn't so much a scenery shot, but more a closeup of the bee just off Scotty's (hrcscott) left elbow.  ;D I like this pic because I'm ahead of Scott plus missed the bee! Click to enlarge.

Both CB550's at Shannonville Motosport Park.

Wow great shots in the last few days! I like it!

Thanks Bear and Brent I think we are going to have one month dedicated to racers  - probably 3 pics will be chosen for that one month (tile format) so keep them coming!

Remember 9 months are voted in by members and more than a few months will have 2 or 3 bikes/month.

I took a couple of shots at work today, but don't feel they are all that great in comparison.  I guess I am going to have to step up my game if I want to get in the calendar.
