2016 SOHC calendar - let's get some racing pictures in there
« on: December 16, 2015, 08:39:10 PM »
We have an active thread in the SOHC/4 Bikes section to post pictures for a 2016 calendar.
http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,153321.0.html

I'm posting here because I want to encourage the high-performance crowd to contribute some pictures for the calendar.  I'm trying to get something put together within the next week.

Also, I've put together a calendar of the 2015 bike of the month winners.  You can buy a copy here:
http://www.lulu.com/shop/sohc4-2016-calendar-bikes-of-the-month/calendar/product-22485533.html

All proceeds from the calendars will be donated to SOHC4.net

Thanks,
Chris

I can only find one in miserable conditions after the bike had already suffered a lowside!

Not to mention that Brent is in front of the other dude at the moment the shot was taken.  Great shot!

Actually I crashed hard in June and took the summer off to recuperate (and play team manager!). That's my son riding, who started from the back & is passing into the lead. I told Chris this isn't a worthy shot because no-one knows for sure it's a SOHC4 but it was to help get people off their asses to post something.......guys!  ;D

I think the idea of the calendar is to have member's bikes.

Some of this pictures appear to have watermarks, ie they are copyrighted? If so, you don't own the rights to them, or the right to allow them to be published.
Don't fix it if it ain't broke!

Happy new year!

I finally got around to getting the calendar finished... just in time (well, maybe a few days too late).  I included the images of member bikes, and put the "competition" motorcycles on the month of July.

Purchase your copy here:
http://www.lulu.com/shop/sohc-2016-premium-calendar/calendar/product-22507446.html

Proceeds will be donated to the forum.

Thanks!
