Are there any blue bikes in your lists? Represent! If not already, I'll be happy to do so... (Vancouver scenery too)

Sure there must be a blue one in the list of 21 somewhere but probably not with shots of Vancouver.

You are very welcome.

Question: shall I add the owner's name to the photo in the calendar, or not?

If so , which name - real or forum nickname?

Mine is blue....but definitely would love to see it with the backdrop from Vancouver...

I hope that I can get something usable this weekend (that is if we can get a rain free day) I feel like I am in Vancouver and not Southern Ontario

Why not real name AND nick'? I'm good either way. And the setting of the picture would be nice too...

ps Celeste, it's rained here maybe 2 days out of the last 6 weeks.

Don't tell anyone else, though. Our summers are a Vancouver secret. 8)

It's late July here and we've had rain on and off for the last 3 weeks. Summer was in June. No matter, everyone's probably happy to stay home and avoid the swine flu

I agree, both would be good, plus name of location.

Knew there would be a blue one somewhere.

Sorry to hear about the rain. Welcome to the UK-style summers.

I would also vote for both names and location of the photos.

Tis Winter down here too - but makes the restraints easier to chew thru.

I go for the two names and the location

I may be off line for a few days (family holiday) , not sure if I will have internet access (don't know how my teenage kids will survive, if not) , but will return to thread asa I get back.

Will start sorting photos for calendar beginning of August. Will contact all contributors by PM if any issues on individual photos. Consensus is that I add real name + forum name + location to each photo. Please send this information to me by PM. I will also chase this up when I get back.

Only 50% submitted so far so probably a good idea if one or two members keep this thread active next week as a visual reminder to those yet to submit.

Remember, it's a photo of your bike (excluding owner) in an interesting setting I am after.

Many thanks to those who have already sent in their photos.

Looking forward to the compilation

Cheers

Ron

Just 1 more and then we have enough for a 2 year calendar, either that or we do 2 bikes per month. Will decide which is best when I get all photos in.

Have to say guys and gals, pretty good response. Well done all.

This should be a handsome collection if all who have responded manage to submit their photos - 23+ forum members bikes in a variety of settings and compositions - with your own bike in the mix in a printed calendar on the wall of your garage, etc.

Like the sound of that

Forgot to mention, I am amazed what you have managed to do to your bike. It looks absolutely fantastic.
