Calendars look fantastic as always Andy.  It's a great thing you do for the site.  Two on their way, one for home and one for the office.

Hey Andy!  Thanks for choosing my pic for the cover of cal2.  I gotta check with the photographer to make sure it's cool with him.  Let's discuss this offline.
I recently restored and sold a 77 cb750f, and am nearly finished with a (former basket case) cb750k5.  This is a place to share, learn and enjoy.  I am grateful to and for 99+% of this site's membership.

Thanks for all the support for the Forum by buying the Calendar but please wait to thank me until you have the Calendar in your hands and you can see its not some grainy low res photos - I hope not as tried to work with all the submissions to get as high res as was possible....but you never know as I have yet to see one myself!  (but have 2 coming to me very soon).

Let me know what you  think when calendar arrives - thanks again.

cheers

What resolution do you have for the cover shot? I can see if there is a bigger/better one

So, the strategy is to lie to people you are asking for help?

I think I'll be busy going for a ride.

Good luck!

I just logged in to expand on my too-brief comment.  Was going to edit, but . . .

The cover photo made me nervous.  Large-scale pixilated -- larger than 1mm pixels.

The interior photos are ALL sharp and clear.  Every single one looks like a large-format camera photo.  Good colors.  Saturated but not looking over-processed (a pet peeve of mine).

Your calendar is top notch.

When I posted above, I hadn't yet looked inside to see if the cover photo was also pixilated above a month.  Not there.

Received my Calendar as well. I purchased #1. I can attest that the cover picture is quite pixelated, but all interior shots look great. There are a few text issues where the description overlaps the month title, but otherwise looks fine. I have it hanging in my garage and love it. Thanks, again Andy! I appreciate all the work put into making this possible.
