2026 SOHC Calendar?
« on: December 15, 2025, 08:10:03 AM »
Well, a couple guys have messaged me questioning me about a 2026 Calendar. 
Since the BOTM thread is all but dead, that won't work but I had a thought.

If I can get 10-11 guys to commit to buying one and send me a nice pic of their bike, I can throw one together [I would add a 1 or two pics of my bikes as needed to fill it]. Price would be the same as years past, $20 shipped to your U.S. door.

Let me know if you have interest.

I'll take three Steve
I'll include some pictures from back in the 70s and our local bike night and give the guys a calendar for Christmas. You can choose what you want.

Same with my phone. I have to screenshot any picture then crop the excess boarder I want to post. Somehow that reduces it to meet the forum requirements.

Ok, we are at 9 I think we can make this work. 

So, we have:

Newday - 3
Bender - 2
Sean - 2
Duster - 1
Ozzy - 1
Scottly  ?

Tim - shipping to UK would be more than the cost of the calendar. Sorry

Ok...send me pics, email or text works also [Sean you still have my number?]  PM me if need be

Disclaimer:  Leaving for the beach in Mexico on Sunday so cannot ship these out til the week of Jan 5th.

What I have found to do... take a screenshot of your individual pictures, you know how to take a screenshot? My phone is push simultaneously the power and low volume buttons to screenshot.
Then crop the excess empty screenshot boarders. Notice one of my pictures above I didn't crop it yet...

Maybe instead of bike of the month calendar it could be narrowed down to something else?
  SOHC Calendar shots?
 Gather pics and make a calendar for 27?
 I'm sure you do this for near nothing and probably loose time and $ dealing with it!
 More pics and some hype of a new topic might generate more interest.
You should be able to profit a little for your time and effort! (new battery)??
 My Father (1200miles away from me) likes these also!

Hey Ben...the current calendar is not BOTM as that has basically gone away. Trust me, I don't do it for the money, if I break even I'll be happy.  A few of you guys asked about it so I really did for you and I like doing it. 
I also do one for my good friend using pics of his classic cars, I give him multiple copies for Xmas every year.
