Thanks RF, I spent the whole day and hardly took a photo, but it was my good fortune to be leaving the Motor Muster when #7 was also finishing its duty. 1897 Baldwin meet 1971 Honda.

Hope I'm not too late with this... just don't get onto the site as much as I used to. Here are the only pics of my bike I have, taken in my driveway... not too exciting but, hey, that's how it goes! If you're interested in any of these, I can supply higher resolution shots.

There are some great photos already that people have added. Here are a couple more just in case you need some. They were taken on a ride last winter when the sun was quite low and the light was really unusually bright yet mellow. Unfortunately I only had a camera phone with me so they aren't all that great quality. There are several more that I took at the same time too. Maybe if I worked out how to edit them just a little they could be really nice...

Hey Tim, it's about time you posted pics of your Seeley!

I noticed the 3/4 moon in the background; hope you can edit to bring that out a bit.

Keep the pictures coming... I'm still working on the BOTM calendar, and want to wrap that one up first.

After I get the BOTM Calendar completed we'll see how many pictures we have. I might be able to utilize all of them (or at least one from everyone that submitted pictures).

Thanks,
Chris

1973 Honda CB350F. Restored to Riding condition and I ride it about once a week during good weather. Nice bike. All original 6871 miles.

windsurfed · « **Reply #59 on:** December 10, 2015, 07:46:15 PM »

And My other one: 1975 Honda CB550K1. Restored to riding condition and ride at lest once a week in good weather. Restored this one 3 years ago. Nice smooth bike.

Taken at my place here in NJ. Feel free to use them if you like. I can email the full size files to get the best quality if you pick one to be used for the calendar .

Makes me miss NJ. Where in NJ is this? I grew up in Phillipsburg. Such a beautiful picture.

Right down the road, Moshie. I'm in Alexandria Township. I'm in P-burg every day.

That's not something you hear every day - someone missing Jersey!

Hey Scottly, my photo editing skills are dreadful, any time I try it the result always looks worse than the photo I started with. Did you spot the church tower too?!

I didn't realise you hadn't seen the Seeley before, though I don't take actually take many pics of it. Here's the other one too, which is even more camera shy.

bender01 · « **Reply #62 on:** December 11, 2015, 05:25:52 PM »

Not mine! Found in a drug store parking lot! Was there on and off all week Greenville SC. Make this bike famous! It's truly a daily rider!

dusterdude · « **Reply #63 on:** December 12, 2015, 03:06:26 AM »

LOL no kidding. But I haven't been there since 1980 (I escaped immediately). Planning to take Dash through there probably in 2017. We should ride-- I don't know any of those roads any longer.

Chris,
The mock-up looks GREAT!

Wobbly · « **Reply #66 on:** December 13, 2015, 03:21:33 AM »

The trouble for me is, I actually use my bike for travel and travel only. So it's never clean in the pictures and always has luggage. Not good for a calendar, but good just fine for memories. Besides, not too many valid CA license plates on an old Honda in Italy or Austria.

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #67 on:** December 13, 2015, 07:03:24 AM »

Wobbly, your pics are spectacular whether there is dirt and luggage or not. Hopefully, others here will be inspired to get these bikes out of the driveway and backyard! Go ride the damn thing somewhere. It doesn't have to be an epic journey. I think there is interesting scenery to be found everywhere in the world.

Beautiful pics as usual but, F*#k that looks cold...

Late to the party, but here's a couple pics from yesterday in SW VA on my 750 K8...

OK... I've now officially published the Bike of the Month winners 2016 Calendar.

----> http://www.lulu.com/shop/sohc4-2016-calendar-bikes-of-the-month/calendar/product-22485533.html <----

You can purchase it on Lulu and if you order right away you should still be able to get it before Christmas - but you may have to pay extra for shipping. There is also an active Lulu coupon code for %25 off - HOLIDAYS25 - I believe this is good through 12/15, so that should help offset the shipping.

I haven't seen the actual calendar, I'll be ordering mine tonight as well. Hopefully the final product looks good.

Please note, while this year's calendar is a little cheaper than the previous years, it's also smaller (Standard Size). I forgot that the previous year's calendars were the "Premium" size, but I think the standard size will work well for the BOTM version.

I'll start on the general calendar now (with pictures being supplied from this thread) - and I'll make that one in the larger size.

edwardmorris · « **Reply #73 on:** December 14, 2015, 04:15:06 PM »

Thanks Chris, ordered mine; with the coupon code it was $16 shipped (regular mail).

David B · « **Reply #74 on:** December 14, 2015, 04:15:51 PM »

Looks fantastic! Just let us know if you'd like full size files of the pics emailed to you.

Thanks again for your time and energy devoted to this project, it's much appreciated.
