Hi all,

I'm interested in doing another calendar this year, third year running. If you've got some tasty Norton pics that you think are worth consideration, then let me know. I'll repeat last year's format of double page landscape this year, so am after a full-page A4 landscape shot and something around A6 for an inset shot. Not the same pic for main and inset of course, but something related. Bikes are everything, but something with human interest, preferably yourself, wouldn't go astray. If you've got an old and new shot or before and after to make a now-and-then pair then great. (There was a great shot of a Norton outside of Chipping Norton that I swore I'd grab, but danged if I can find it again!)

Picture details:
A4 at 300dpi is about 2.5 x 2.25 megapixels. JPG format please, don't overdo the compression! My contact is bmavad (my forum username backwards) at gmail dot com or if you've posted them up here already just send me (or PM me) the link or post it below. You must own the copyright to the pics and agree to them being used for this purpose. I do not on-sell the pictures or make a profit from this in any way nor do I use use them for any other purpose other than the calendar. Preference to active users and pics from this year.

Have a look at the 2010 calendar download link and this is the 2011 calendar download link if you're unsure what I'm on about.

Best wishes for the season everyone. Stay alert and ride well.

Edit: All done. Click this link to download the calendar.

Print it off double-sided in landscape format on a colour printer using quality paper, staple along the top edge and punch a hole in the middle of the bottom and voila! Your very own calendar showing the greatest motorcycle ever made. You will also find at the back some dates of interest for those keen on bike racing.

If you have a single-sided printer, you can run this off in two passes, printing every second page each time.

I'm trying something a little different this year with "The Road Rode". I wrote it for the TWF guys in some haste on New Years Eve and didn't have time to polish it, but seeing as I borrowed a couple of lines from Hobot (November) I thought I kind of "owed" it here as well. Thanks Steve. Really wasn't sure about whether it was appropriate for the calendar, but it sorta summed-up the year's riding for me, so I thought - sod it.

If there are any objections whatsoever to the content provided, or any unintentional violation of copyright in any manner, please notify me and I will immediately remove the document from public download.

Re: Calendar Call 2012

Thanks to Hortons Norton for another excellent shot. C'mon chaps, the year's ticking away. Dig out those favourite pics - or just grab a camera and snap a couple now.
 
Re: Calendar Call 2012

Thanks T.H and another with both bikes if I may?
 
Re: Calendar Call 2012

Still need at least another 8 sponsors to make it this year, each donating 2 or more shots. Framework's all in place, just awaiting pics. Swooshdave? Jeandr? Anyone?

I know you used mine last year, but here's one after it's been on the road if you need a pic. I can supply a better one.

Re: Calendar Call 2012

They're fine Bwolfie - nothing wrong with Work-in-Progress shots at all. Being in last year's calendar doesn't exclude you from this one at all DogT, I'll need a higher-res version though.
Keep 'em coming please!

Unfortunately this is the best photo I have! Broke it shortly after this. Its away having the frame retubed or braced or whatever will save it.

all the best Chris
 
Re: Calendar Call 2012

Thanks Ludwig, Chris and Anglophile. Damn that's a fabulous machine Chris, hope the frame fix goes alright.

Nearly there, more please!
 
Re: Calendar Call 2012

Dave, I emailed you a shot of mine, would you return email me if you get it correctly or not?
 
Re: Calendar Call 2012

Pic received and email sent Platinumsmith. Thanks. Got another for an inset?
