Im happy they are starting to arrive.... a HUGE thank you to Kickaha who patiently helped a pretty cranky me write on all the envelopes and then drove from post box to post box to post them, as there were so many he kept filling them up! :yes:

Those boxes weighed a bloody ton!

Nah I dont think people see it that way... I actually dont think they think about it at all.... its just Joni (the faceless one) doing what is expected of her.

That's not the case for me. I'm really looking forward to getting mine and I appreciate all the work that goes into getting it done.

An excellent product and awesome pix. :banana:Thanks... this year it was important for us to ensure all KB'ers were represented, not just the sports bikers among us... so hopefully everyone is happy with the balance we struck!

Huzzah!

Got home to find my calendar waiting for me. Makes a pleasant change, as I have been waiting for the calendar for ages!

It's bloody well done, from the snazzy cover to the highly charged and apt back cover.

Spank, Joni and all others involved in snapping pics/production, well done team!

Will definitely be ordering one for 2009 when time comes.

Joni
12th December 2007, 18:57
the highly charged and apt back cover.Thank you for this...

Was very difficult emotionally getting that organised, however there was no other way I could think of a big salute to 3 great guys!

Well this is one customer who is happy... especially when you look at the picture for March! :rockon:

Please, please, no autographs at this time. What? Of course you can touch my bike, its probably as close to greatness as the little people get.

You can just call me Mr March, or maybe The Poster Boy... I can't decide. :laugh:

Mine arrived yesterday.

And absolutely stunning it is, too, I must say.

Top marks to Jo and Warwick et al!

:2thumbsup

Seriously, I am well impressed. The selection of photographs, combined with the front and back pages, really convey the perfect 'motorcycling in New Zealand' ambience, with a definite KB flavour.

:grouphug:

Can't wait for next year's effort now!

:eek:

Joni
13th December 2007, 09:01
At the risk of sounding dramatic, I dont think anyone (except Bugjuice who did most of the work the first year) knows how much work goes into getting this done each and every year...

This year I took on everything except the art work which Rashika did... so can fully appreciate what Bugjuice went through....

Now that they are arriving and people are happy, I cant help but feel sick to my stomach... so much has gone wrong with this project... dear God I hope nothing else does at this stage.

:buggerd: :weep:

Oohh errrrrr!!

The letterbox has been graced by a sexy little number!
VERY well done to all involved!

The clarity of the photo's seems even better than this years, if that is possible!

Peasea, bloody nice shot mate!!
Machiavelli... did you take your polishing cloth with you for that one??:first:

Still trying to work out why the flag is at half mast...

Joni
13th December 2007, 11:22
Still trying to work out why the flag is at half mast...Because that photo shoot was just after we buried a KB'er... so it was in respect to all our fallen riders.

Mine arrived yesterday.

Well obviously the Auckland Mail service sucks as I'm still waiting for mine to arrive and they were sent to your address :crybaby:

However after looking at Dan's, I too am very impressed and wait anxiously.:niceone:

That was one of my guesses.

Nice tribute page at the back. It would have been difficult to do any better than what is there.

:cool:



Well obviously the Auckland Mail service sucks
Not exactly...
Every third day, the postie will pass by our letterboxes. Some days there are times when they will actually stop and put something into them.:rofl:

I'm sure that Ak posties ONLY deliver on certain days. There seems to be a heck of a lot of "nothing" and then a large amount of mail arrives all at once, on the same day!:scratch:

Just arrived back from the letter box after finding a lovely surprise in there. Great work Joni and co. looks great, can't wait til January to hang it up, although that front cover and back cover are too good to face the wall all next year, so may just have to hang it up with those showing for a couple of weeks.

BigG
13th December 2007, 12:40
I was going to say something smart about the front cover but in respect of the person who passed on I have decided to keep thoughts to myself. Well done for the calender its good to see a lot of variations and to no who rides what. Again its a cool calender

Yes, but imagination fills in the blanks about what you had to go through to preserve sanity in your household while the project was in progress.

Dare we even ask how many were produced?

After all the badgering that had to happen, simply to get members to realise they HAD to have at least one!

Reckon it is better than last year, love the mix of pics! Congratulations to those who are now KB famous! Well done Joni and co for all the effort, you should be very proud of yourselves!

Hey, just like to name drop here... Rashika awesome job on the Calander, your part was to set up the graphic files and change it all around to suit 2008, with out you risking ya job and doing this at work in work time the calander may well have turned out different.
good job Rashika, Joni, Big Dave & Spank :woohoo:
