Yes... still accepting... I've been busy during the holidays with family stuff so I'm still putting the calendar together.

Thanks

I was encouraged by a member on the Hi Po side to post a picture for consideration of being on the calender. So... here's my contribution. If selected, you have my permission to use this image.

This picture is of my 78F model dragbike. The picture was taken during qualifying runs at the Manufacturers Cup race in the Super Eliminator class. I was fortunate enough to set a new national record in the CB/SS class of 10.60@120.46mph. This race was held on the 15th day of November, 2015.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Hi Dragracer... any chance you have a higher resolution version of the picture of the bike.  I love that shot and would like to crop/enlarge it some.

Let me know,
Thanks,
Chris

Happy new year!

A little later than I had planned, but the 2016 members calendar is now ready for purchase:
http://www.lulu.com/shop/sohc-2016-premium-calendar/calendar/product-22507446.html

This one is a little more expensive than the BOTM calendar as it's a larger "premium" calendar.

I tried to get everyone's pictures in (which I'm pretty sure I got at least one picture included from everyone who posted here or emailed to me).  If I missed anyone, please let me know and I can edit a revision.


Thanks for everyone's help!

No sh*t . . . you put my grungy every-day rider in with these beauties, well, now I guess I HAVE to buy one.  Brilliant marketing scheme.  (as an aside - thank you, very cool, and thank you for putting this together)

Chris,

The calendar looks fantastic!  You put a lot of effort into it and did a great job. I'm really looking forward to mine showing up in the mail. Thank you!

Took mine into the office today and hung it up in my office.  I had 3 or 4 different people in my office today and everyone of them commented on the calendar.

Well done!

Thanks everyone...

Admittedly, it's a little rushed and I'm not thrilled with the options to list events (I couldn't change the font or even the order of events on a given day).  I've got some ideas for improvements for next year which I think we can do if I get an earlier start.

I'm still waiting on mine.  I got the BOTM calendar pretty quickly, but this one seems to be taking a while.

Thanks for everyone's help!

I'm still a little freaked my survivor commuter bikes made it on there - was never my intention.  Not in the same class as most.  Still - there they are :)

Survivor bikes rule!  How could I resist including it :)

Honestly, I think the survivor/commuter bikes are a great testament to the reliability of these Hondas... oil leaks and all.  Heck, I bet you could ride your bike across the country as is.

Well, I think we sold as many as calendars we're going to sell at this point.

A total of 31 (22 bike of the month calendars and 9 premium member calendars)... so not a killing, but I'm glad we made something available this year. I'll start the process earlier for next year's calendar.  I'm sure more participation will drive sales higher as well.

I'll cash out the sales on Lulu and make a donation to the SOHC4 site for $138 - not much, but it's something.
