2008 KB Calendar

Alright guys and gals, it’s that time of year again. :thud:

We are giving people plenty of time to submit their photos for the next calendar.

Photo submissions are now closed

Ordering:
This year the calendar will have a small increase of price and be $19.00 each.
Please pm me for banking details etc...
Orders have closed

Come on guys - get those bikes on the road, on the track, in the dirt and click away... last year we had a great calendar, I hope this years photos are as good or even better! :sunny:

:wari:

ps. Please keep this thread drivel free... as we will be using it as a resource for quite a few months. All drivel will be removed.

[Joni]

Well we got our first submission.... :yes:

Looking good Karma, thanks! :sunny:

Keep them coming guys.

[inlinefour]

I'll be in for one callender as per the last two years. Will deposit the funds as soon as I'm aware of the account to put it in. Will attach a pic of the CBR600RR, but I doubt that it'll get in. Have higher res pics also. Cheers.

Just read the initial post and have emailed the submission, doh!

[Joni]

Thanks inline - on that note, no images submitted in this thread will be considered... only via email please. :yes:

[Scouse]

Oh that time of year again I will have to see if big Dave will sanp off a photo of the new beast

[Deviant Esq]

Ideally speaking, what is the minimum resolution you would like for submitted images? I'll try to make sure I submit my maximum compliment of photos over the coming months. :yes:

One sent to the email to start you off - not sure if it's calendar calibre... but worth a shot eh? ;)

I'll be a buyer regardless of whether my image winds up in it or not. Good work!

[Joni]

Initial resolution should be just good enough for us to see it properly.... if I need a high res shot I will let you know :yes:

[avgas]

Why cant we see images here and do the vote thing like we do with the monthly snaps?

[TLMAN]

Id pay good money for 12 months worth of this!!!!

[Joni]

Avgas im not going down this road again this year, as every year people want different thing, and everyone has something else to say.... we have a good system in place that works, Im gonna stick with it. :yes:

TLman, if you want the pic in the salendar, then it needs to be be submitted like all the others.

[Morcs]

Ive submitted mine :yes:

[Joni]

Wow!!!

Over the last few days we have received some great pics guys!
I have a feeling in my bones this years end result is going to be great.

:spudbooge:spudguita:spudwave:

[Nicksta]

Wow!!!

I have a feeling in my bones this years end result is going to be great.

:spudbooge:spudguita:spudwave:
i'd love to see this pic in it somewhere..... but i cant remember who has the original file... maybe Sudeep i'm not sure.... can we submit pending photographer's/rider's approval?

[Joni]

Of course you can hun... but we would need their approval and the high res version if it gets used! :yes:

[Joni]

I know there is still tons of time left for photos to be submitted, but I was kind of sad at the lack of submissions we got compared to last year this time.

Then a few really great pics came through... in fact I can say, one has the "wow factor"...

Keep them coming guys. I look forward to see what people still have up their sleeves.

[Nicksta]

I reckon the riders would approve no problem... I like the sign in the backround.. almost their motto .."Life's good"..

happy birthday hun.
thanks Glen... thats one of the things i love about the pic too.... "life's good" especially with your muppet racing buddy, on one wheel on a track....
man i miss those silly boys....

[MyGSXF]

Just sent my submissions in :yes:

Jen :rockon:

[916Senna]

oooh.......... just sent some pics your way

So Joni, what is the actual cutoff date and is there anywhere on here or a website somewhere so we can see what sort of submissions have made the grade in the past ? :first:

Regards, Stu

[Joni]

The cut off is 8pm 1 November 2007.

We dont usually post what has been done in the past... I can dig some out if you like, however would just prefer you submit an action pic (track or off road) or a scenery pic you feel is good!

:yes:

OK, thanks for that, now one last pain in the ass question :shit:

If you have a calendar handy, any chance of measuring the size of the image in mm's so I know the shape etx and can effectively shoot to suit as it were.
I think we can come up with some good shots of the adventure bike crew for you :-)

Cheers, Stu

[Joni]

Just landscape shots in high res would be fine! :sunny:

[RedKLR650]

Just landscape shots in high res would be fine! :sunny:

Hi Joni,

Sorry, I'm a photographer, so what I meant was are the shots on your calendar square, 3:2 ratio rectangles , 4:5 ratio etc

Or really simplified, are they A4 shape prints ?

Stu:scooter:

Stu:scooter:

I have the '07 calendar in front of me. A4 Landscape.

[Joni]

I have the '07 calendar in front of me. A4 Landscape.Thanks Devil...

However, as mentioned in the 2 days worth of data that was lost... this calendar is not going to happen unless people start submitting their images... so hopefully you guys get out there on your cleaned bikes and snap away.

[Nicksta]

hey chick, do i need to submit the pic of the boys? or have yo ualready added it to the running for me?

might get out on my pretty gix too and see if she can make it in for a month too, october, her birthday! :)

[RedKLR650]

I have the '07 calendar in front of me. A4 Landscape.

Thanks Devil :devil2:, I'd better get out there and ping off a few shots of the adventure boys then..... :doh:

Cheers, Stu :scooter:

[CM2005]

looks like i'll have to dust off the ole' camera...

[Joni]

looks like i'll have to dust off the ole' camera...Yes, please do! :yes:

We got a few nice submissions over the last day or so... look forward to seeing what comes next.

Nix - I will be in touch with you re photo's of the boys :love:

[Busy]

Are we allowed to use woman if the bike is only so-so?
If so is it a family show or anything goes (ie nude, semi nude)?
And would you be wanting a model release form?

*I wonder if my grandma dressed in just a leather jacket would cut it ...:lol:*

[Deviant Esq]

I think I can safely say that this will be a family affair, and while noone is stopping you from submitting any nude or semi nude images, they are unlikely to be selected for the final product.

Don't worry about the bike being "so-so", get out there and let the scenery do the talking. There have been plenty of "so-so" bikes that are part of some pretty stunning photos, so get creative and see what you can come up with! :yes:

[ManDownUnder]

Put me in for 2 calenders please Joni.

[Joni]

Um sorry Deviant... but re the girlie pics, if they are good shots (top 12), they will make the calendar. Keep in mind this is a KB calendar and at the end of the day Spank me owns KB... and we all know his views on that subject... so if you want to submit a girlie pic go for it... just make sure its one hell of a photo (quality wise) else no it wont be picked.

We are ironing out the final costs with printers. Once I have the final cost, I will put the bank account and all details up.

[Deviant Esq]

Um sorry Deviant... but re the girlie pics, if they are good shots (top 12), they will make the calendar. Keep in mind this is a KB calendar and at the end of the day Spank me owns KB... and we all know his views on that subject... so if you want to submit a girlie pic go for it...
Oh? Colour me surprised, I assumed that that sort of thing would not be considered, tasteful or otherwise. I stand corrected! SpankMe may well own KB but he isn't the primary selector for the calendar, so I wasn't about to assume that girlie pics were alright - espcially with people from all walks likely to buy one, females included! Still, who am I to argue... :shifty:

[Joni]

Dont get me wrong Deviant... it should be tastefully done, else yes you are right it wont go through. But 98% of KB'ers are guys, so if we have a good quality girlie with bike pic thats tastefully done, then fine! So lets see eh?

One note though, all pics need to be taken by a KB'er, of a KB'er of of a KB'ers bike please... not just any randon pics.

[Frenchy]

might get out on my pretty gix too and see if she can make it in for a month too, october, her birthday! :)

Maybe i could ride her while you take a photo????? Please

[Nicksta]

Maybe i could ride her while you take a photo????? Please
lol... you ride my girl? you know my rules.... sorry hun.
no one but me and B.....
you can take a pic of me riding tho ;)

[Joni]

you can take a pic of me riding tho ;)That would be nice... :sunny:

[Kornholio]

Have put some pics in too :D

[Joni]

Well guys, a bit of bad news... the printer who has always done it for us at such a great price the last 2 years, has closed down... I have a few printers that I deal with at work, so will try my best to negotiate a good price.

Not sure at this stage though.

:crybaby:

[MyGSXF]

Bugger.. :bye: I'm sure you'll sort out something just as good Joni!!!! :first:

[Joni]

I hope so... if it turns out so expensice that no-one will buy one, then we will need to call it a day.... what a shame that will be... :pinch:

I will do my best guys.

[NighthawkNZ]

Try Bright Print in Grey mouth they do calendars... the only other one I deal with at work is Allen Calendars/Norcross. Tanner (all part of allesn really.. ;) (but they may be expensive)

[Joni]

Dont worry, I have 3 printers coming to see me today.... lets see what happens eh?

[Busy]

How about getting a sponsor to help pay for it, real estate or something (not bike related)

[Joni]

We had a sponsor last year - Star Insurance....

I am keeping that option in mind, awaiting one last quote to know where we stand first.

:mobile:

[Kendog]

Will you post estimated prices, so we can decide if it is more than we are willing to pay?

[babyB]

whatever the price is, im still in:yes:

[Joni]

Will you post estimated prices, so we can decide if it is more than we are willing to pay?Of course I will, when I have them.

[codsy]

A pick of by BSA A65 Lightning. See attached. Codsy

[Paul in NZ]

We should organise a street scrambler ride since you have Firebird pipes on it...... You should come on a Wellington Classic Club ride mate - lots a fun...

[Joni]

Hmm… those printer sure did take their time getting the prices through to me… but it was worth the wait as they got lower and lower as they came…:rolleyes:

However, no matter what there will be a price increase this year.

This year the calendars will be $19.00 each. :niceone:

One catch though, for us to secure the lowest price I could get, we need to have at least 150 orders… now that might not seem like a lot seeing we have 8000+ members, but last year it was a hard slog to just get 120 orders…

So please guys, can we try and get as many orders as possible in this year. (The more orders we have, the cheaper the printing… so a little more jam for Spank)

Please pm me for banking details and what else is required.

Ta muchly.
:msn-wink:

[Joni]

Well the order have started coming in.... yay! Keep them coming guys :2thumbsup

I just wanted to thank Tide for his generous order, it sure does help! :clap:

[Joni]

Hmm.... slow start to the order (and payment).

If anyone want a calendar please pm me.... we can't really go ahead without 150 paid orders.

:pinch:

[NordieBoy]

I'll get 1 or 2 but if there's some of my photos I'll get more...
Dilema...

[Joni]

Your call to make....

PM me if you want to order.

[ManDownUnder]

Count me in for 2 calendars Joni - thanks hun

[Virago]

Two to me too...:cool:

[Paul in NZ]

Yeah - I'll take 2 as well

[sels1]

I'll have one too please.

[Joni]

:lol: You boys are impossible....

What part of PM me was difficult to undertsand :rolleyes::pinch:

I will pm you the details Sel.

:niceone:

[Joni]

Well we have 16 calendars paid for... another 134 to go :thud:

[MyGSXF]

133 to go now!! :Punk:

[Joni]

Another 3 calendars were paid for over night - thanks guys! So we are now on 131 needed...

I will only be counting paid and confirmed orders as a done deal. :yes:

The photo submissions have been pretty slow this year compared to last... and so have the orders so far! This makes me worry, as last year we did not make the 150 we need this year.

Please be aware guys - if we don't have 150 orders, we wont be proceeding with the calendar this year! So... please, please, please don't let me have to go through a re-imbursement exercise... if every person who posts on this site everyday just ordered one to help support KB, we would fly past the 150! :innocent:

[Trudes]

Come on everyone!!! Don't make Joni sweat us all to get our calenders, and then once the dead-line is up, everyone start asking her for one!!! They are awesome quality, and pics of people and their bikes that we actually know (or at least give shit to on-line!!):mellow:



(We did put our order in eh J??) LOL

[Joni]

Thanks Ma'am! :eek:

Difference this year is, if we dont have enough orders, we dont go ahead... not like last year with people scrambling after the deadline. I have to stick to the deadline this time, and the number cannot be moved either. I negotiated a very agressive price to ensure KB'ers dont have to pay huge amounts for this calendar.

Yes I got a pm from your other half - no I have not received payment

:pinch:

[Trudes]

Thanks Joni, I want a calender!!! Loved this years one, still loving it too!! Would be a real shame to not have it go ahead this year. Have you had a good selection of photos submitted?




Will get the other half to pay you, or I'll beat him slightly.:spanking:

[Joni]

Have you had a good selection of photos submitted?A good selection? In a way yes! However 70-80% of the photos are track/racing photo's. Some of them are stunners... however we need a balance too, some nice scenery ones... to ensure all tastes are catered for!


I hope everyone has not forgotten about the photos... but I would rather have them forget about the photo's and not forget to order a calendar...

:thud:

[Joni]

Daily catch up - we have 28 calendars paid for this far... thanks again guys! :hug:

122 calendars to go.

[NZsarge]

Has anyone ever given any thought to marketing the calender country wide in an effort to raise funds to run the site or for a charity? Just a thought.:scratch: If was of decent quality and I saw it an a book store i'd buy one (apart from the fact I already have)

[Joni]

It was never supposed to get that big... was just supposed to be something that raises some funds for KB... and is a bit of fun with piccies from members...

[Joni]

Not much to update today - as no payments came through over night :no:

[NZsarge]

Not much to update today - as no payments came through over night :no:

Aww c'mon people! Dun be shy. get to orderin', i for one am really keen to see how this calendar turns out. Might send my one to my brother in Oz so he can hang it on the wall at work.:niceone:

[Joni]

120 to go.....:(

[Joni]

Thanks to Spank for sending out an email to help raise the order numbers... :clap:

Still 120 orders to go! I am not a pessimist by nature... but I don’t see the calendar happening at this rate.

[Joni]

Well remind me to get Timg to do a hurry up thread everyday....

Got another 9 paid for overnight:woohoo: 110 odd to go....

[Donor]

Huzzah!

At the risk of raising the ire of the Domestic Controller, I'm ordering one dammit.

Twenty squids for 12 most excellent and traditionally stylish photos of beasts belong to some of KBs finest stuck on my wall to get all giigly and dare I say it jealous over, seems a bargain!

Mmmm... 12 pages spread round the Man Cave(tm) where I can sit with an ale or seven and look not only at my trusty steed with love and awe, but also ogle the bikes of veritable strangers (and let's face it, there ain't many stranger than the KB fambily) whilst slowly... errr... anyway, you get the picture.

And it's not just a calendar dontchaknow!

* It can be rolled into a funnel and used for emergency fuel transfer!
* Rolled into a cylinder and used as a telescope for "Talk like a Pirate day"
* Wave to and fro causing a pleasant cooling effect through air movement on hot days!
* Small insects are no match for the swatting power of a KB calendar!
* They make ideal emergency coasters for LARGE glasses!

You get all this for just 19 squids, but wait, also with your order, you'll receive the warm and fuzzy satisfaction of knowing you're helping to support the KiwiBiker website we all know and sometimes love!

If you say you can't afford 19 squids for a calendar, why not make a $20 donation, mark it "In lieu of a calendar" and receive a calendar FREE!

So many ways to give the love, AND to get it back.

I think I need a lie down...

[Joni]

So over night we hit one third of orders needed.

We have 50 calendars ordered and paid for. Thanks guys... :clap:

We need 100 still...

[Daffyd]

C'mon youse fullas...Get yo' asses into gear. I ordered four, three for Xmas pressies for my boys. If'n ya don't get up to 150 I'll have to think of something else!

[Donor]

Right now, the electronic Pixies are ferrying packets of financially rewarding data between Westpac and ASB servers, a calendar purchase is occuring as I type!

GOD BLESS THE PIXIES!!!

...is it here yet? Goddamit I hate waiting...

[Joni]

Not much to update today... only one more paid for over night.

:girlfight:

[Kendog]

Will get the other half to pay you, or I'll beat him slightly.:spanking:

Well I have had my little beating :kick: So I figured I had better make the payment.

Come on people it's only $19.

[Joni]

58 calendars paid for as of this morning.

[Joni]

60 paid now!
Will catch up again on Monday....

[sillywilly]

not too flash with fangled internet banking, so hope my funds reached you in 1 piece Joni

[Joni]

73 Paid for now... so close to the half way point!!!

Thanks Sillywilly for your generous order again this year - and yes the paymenr did reflect! :sunny:

[MSTRS]

Where is confirmation for those who have ordered/paid? I love the mystery of not knowing whether a submitted shot will be printed, but to have paid and not know until (unless?) calendar(s) arrive is too much excitement for this KBer.
ps - there was stunning scenery in my submission :drool: and the background was rather nice too :innocent:

[Joni]

OK, so you want me to email each person who has emailed me that they have paid!? After I have matched up each payment to the email?

I was hoping it would be accepted that they payments have been made and the calendar would be delivered as it was the last 2 years... we have never had to do any confirmations in the past.

People may as well start thinking about who will be doing this next year - as I wont be... each year I am putting more and more of my time into something that is really not giving anything back but more work.

[MSTRS]

I know what you are saying Joni. Point is tho that order numbers are not fast and furious (as one would expect for such a nice calendar/good cause)...those that have paid may be left wondering "Did my money/order get through?"
Perhaps use Frosty's Trackday system of putting the paid names in the first post for all to see?

[Joni]

Perhaps use Frosty's Trackday system of putting the paid names in the first post for all to see?Does that mean you are volunteering for next year?

Then you can impliment a great system that works for all! :yes:

I have only done my best. With an increased work load at work... I cannot give Kiwi*fucken*biker, which is what it has become to me, anymore.

Sorry... however I know what you are saying. I will try and get it up at some stage... God knows when.

[timorang]

great calendar last year - it gets regular comments from visitors to my office!

I look forward to the 2008 edition. Good work Joni. I have paid for 3.

[Joni]

Thank hun!

We were teasing Mr October (Dieselpig) on Saturday about his new celebrity status.... but yeah, I agree last years was great! Hope we can do the same again.

[MadDuck]

I have only done my best. With an increased work load at work... I cannot give Kiwi*fucken*biker, which is what it has become to me, anymore.


No ones saying you have not worked hard Joni. But jeez comments like that kinda make it difficult to get excited about supporting the cause.

Having said that if you PM me bank account details I am happy to purchase a calander in support of the site.

Gee - You needn't make it sound like such a favour. The 07 calendar is bloody good and I expect 08 will be as well. Buy it on its merits.

[Machiavelli]

Hi, are there any fixed requirements for submissions... such as "bike must be in motion"?

I'd like to send you a good picture, I'd like to get in the calendar (yes, even with only my lil' Ginny! hey, I love it) but to do that I'd be interested to know what you might be looking for.

[Joni]

Nope... but it should be taken of a KB'ers bike... or be taken by a KB'er etc...

Use your imagination, and come up with something!

BTW - We have lots of bike in motion (i.e. race) pics already!

[Joni]

Our first $19.00 donation has come through....

Payment with no user name as reference.

:clap:

:thud:

[MadDuck]

Well it aint me as I am still waiting for you to send through bank details.

[Joni]

Just to let you guys know.

We have moved over the walf way mark and now have 78 calendars paid for. :sunny:

Regarding what MSTRS suggested, I cant edit the first post with a large group of names, as this thread alternates as a home page feature.

If anyone emails me to let me know the payment has gone through and I dont get the payment, I will pm you, dont worry!!!

[Rashika]

Nope... but it should be taken of a KB'ers bike... or be taken by a KB'er etc...

just sent a couple more pics Joni... I tried my best to not have race shots for once, hard work when thats mostly what I have taken pics of.
Just as well I like taking pics of other peoples bikes too eh? :niceone:
a bit of variety of the bikes, didn't see any of THOSE ones in the calendar last year :msn-wink:

edit: Oh yeah and come you lot BUY A FERKIN CALENDAR

[MyGSXF]

Payment made & email sent.. :banana:

[babyB]

payment for 2 sent Joni

[Joni]

84 calendars ordered and counting....

We have just under a month of ordering time to go... and 66 more calendars that need to be ordered...

:eek: <== Thats my optimistic look!

[Joni]

Another 3 paid for: 63 to go....

:girlfight:

[Joni]

61 to go :shit:

[Joni]

Somebody...... anybody!!

Please buy a calendar

:thud:

[Pumba]

Money is winging its way to your bank account via the interweb thingy as we speak:whistle:

[imdying]

Keep one aside for me, buying another stinkwheel, it'll give me an excuse to come show it to your mate next week (he's a stroker nut if I'm not mistaken?). Who knows, you might even take a fancy to it yourself and want one just like it, Miss 'sold it' :lol: :)

[Joni]

OK, we need 58 more calendars paid for/ordered as of this morning.

[Pumba]

Come on people buy more calanders

[Joni]

Maybe I can have one person at each birthday bash taking orders/payments for the calendars at the beginning of the night... maybe people cannot be arsed doing a transfer... I dunno.

My devious plan was to pm everyone who posts more than 5 posts a day and let them know payment for all the crap they write would be a calendar order :shifty: Spank did not agree with me :lol:

:girlfight:

[Joni]

No orders over night....

We have about 3-4 weeks left to hit the target of 150 orders.

[sarahtvet]

Hey Joni
Not sure if I am the only person this has happened to but I sent a pm to you 5th Oct for Bank details that you have not opened yet. Just wondered if for some reason the pm did not get through and if that was dropping calendar order numbers. I have details now so will get my order in for 3 but thought you should know:sunny:

[Joni]

Sorry about this. Thanks for letting me know.

I will pm you the details... if you dont get it, please let me know. :pinch:

[Joni]

Well we have received one paid for calendar in the last few days....

At this rate we will never make the target of 150 :crazy:

[RedKLR650]

:calm:

Spank has said the Adventure Biker Shirts should be in the post very soon:2thumbsup, so as soon as they arrive we'll get a few of the crew together :hug:and take a few photos and send to you ASAP so then a hopefully the adventure guys will buy a copy:drool: just in case they are in there:weep:

Cheers, Stu

[Joni]

That would be nice red! :clap:

Im worried, we only a few short weeks to go... and we only got the amount we did over 2 months. So I am not feeling 100% confident right now. I really hope there are no refunds on the horison! :weep:

[Machiavelli]

So I am not feeling 100% confident right now. I really hope there are no refunds on the horison! :weep:

Why do you have to meet a quota? Can't you just sell what gets ordered?

[magicfairy]

So I am not feeling 100% confident right now. I really hope there are no refunds on the horison! :weep:

I am happy for my money to go to SpankMe for the site, if the calendars don't happen. (I ordered 3)

[MSTRS]

Why do you have to meet a quota? Can't you just sell what gets ordered?

Heard of a minimum print run?

[Her_C4]

I am happy for my money to go to SpankMe for the site, if the calendars don't happen. (I ordered 3)

I am also happy to refuse a refund with my money to go to SpankMe . - I ordered a couple...:cool::2thumbsup

Good suggestion MF :2thumbsup but I hope it doesn't come to this...

[Machiavelli]

Heard of a minimum print run?

I guess I have, although presumably you can pay a little bit more per unit to have a smaller number produced.


I am also happy to refuse a refund with my money to go to SpankMe . - I ordered a couple...:cool::2thumbsup

Good suggestion MF :2thumbsup but I hope it doesn't come to this...

I'm not that generous ;) i'd want a refund for my 3 orders

[Joni]

I guess I have, although presumably you can pay a little bit more per unit to have a smaller number produced.I negotiated a very aggresive price for KB, because I wanted to ensure the price increase this year was not too much for people to handle.

A little bit more per unit for less orders, would have meant the calendar would be almost $30.00 each, which is crazy, this is just a small project to raise some money and for our members to have some fun seeing the photos being used.... not a big expence.

[Machiavelli]

I negotiated a very aggresive price for KB . . . A little bit more per unit for less orders, would have meant the calendar would be almost $30.00 each, which is crazy

Agreed!

Hopefully it goes ahead with people buying up the last orders!

But even if it doesn't, Joni, you're still :first:

[NZsarge]

I am also happy to refuse a refund with my money to go to SpankMe . - I ordered a couple...:cool::2thumbsup

Good suggestion MF :2thumbsup but I hope it doesn't come to this...

Ditto, if it does'nt happen (calendar) it'll be a donation from me too.

[Joni]

I will cry my eyes out if this does not go through.... been lots of work so far and we are not even half way there yet... we still need to do the art work, get the printing done etc etc...

:crybaby:

[sillywilly]

as above joni, if worst comes to worst call it a donation. Seems a shame that with so many members, this has become such a slog though

[MSTRS]

Seems a shame that with so many members, this has become such a slog though

Yep. They line up 3 deep to donate to the odd unfortunate on here (wonderful gestures too, don't get me wrong) that they've never met and never will, but can't part with an hours wages to own something that will pleasure and inform for at least a year.

What an hours wages more like half an hours wages:argue:

[Draco]

Count me in for 3 calenders. PM on it's way Joni.

[Machiavelli]

but can't part with an hours wages to own something that will pleasure and inform for at least a year

That's like 1 cent every 2.5 hours or something, a whole lot cheaper than going to the movies - you can just stare at all the purdy pictures of bikes! :drool:

[sAsLEX]

Come on someone with a bit of coin and nous behind them.

Buy a few to complete the required numbers and then take them with you to Nats the Street races etc and get those bikers who don't frequent these boards!

[chanceyy]

pm sent Joni .. and since there will be a group of us riding tomorrow with newbie riders to kb it might be just the time to whack them over the side of the head, hold them to ransom or just point them in the right direction to put a order in ..will :chase: them down


will get back to you on that one :lol:

[NordieBoy]

Come on someone with a bit of coin and nous behind them.

Only a little coin...
Got 5 coming (hopefully) and am looking to sell them on for 3-4 times the cost.

If that dosn't work then they'll be chrissie presents for the family :D

[Edbear]

Sorry I wuz late, Joni! Paid today!

[Swoop]

Come on you bloody lot of homos!!!

Order a frikkin calendar NOW!
Don't leave it until the last bloody second.

[HungusMaximist]

^ Errrr.. are there going to be some hot guys in tight tight leathers?
Or is it the usual hot girls in leathers (boring)?

[Joni]

We hit 100 over the weekend.

We require another 50 to still be ordered.

With less than three weeks to go, please pm me for bank details.

[MSTRS]

Joni - in the (hopefully unlikely) event that the print run does not happen, I would like my payment to go to Daniel Evans' family.

[timorang]

hi joni, I have paid for another 2 - the total is 5.

[McDuck]

I would like to pay for another two.

[Joni]

43 more to go guys!

[Trudes]

Maybe I should buy the remaining 43 and sell them to the inevitable slow people who ask to buy them after the cut off date..... at twice the price.:bash:

Edit: God I'm a bitch. LOL

[TerminalAddict]

Sorry for the delay.

Money paid just now (10:00am) for 2 calendars

is delivery via coruier or nz post?
as if its by nz post, I'll have to keep an eye on the mail box, which very rarely gets used :)

[Joni]

Post! :2thumbsup

[ManDownUnder]

Edit: God I'm a bitch. LOL

... like that's news... :chase:

[Joni]

For the record... and there may as well be 2 bitches in this thread (ahem Mrs Kendog).

I wont be ordering excess stock this year.

Maybe a few extra, but not like Bugjuice used to do, we then have calendars left over which is a waste of money...

So people who come rushing through the gates after the race has ended.... haa haa

[ynot slow]

Money paid for one,will take the usual day or so to show after leaving my bank via the black hole where banks get a day or so interest,then into recievers bank.:soon:

[Joni]

Thank you so much to everyone who has paid for their calendars so far!

I hope we get to the 150 soon!

[TLMAN]

Thank you so much to everyone who has paid for their calendars so far!

I hope we get to the 150 soon!

How many to go now?

[Joni]

How many to go now?I wont know until tomorrow morning.

I dont work on how many people said they would pay, but actual paid orders... so money needs time to get to the account, most will only reflect over night.

[Kendog]

... like that's news... :chase:

I tried to bling you but have run out, so will have to say it publicly.
"Haha, funny."

Hope you have ordered a calendar.

[ManDownUnder]

Thanks and yes - two of 'em.... I love the things.

[Machiavelli]

You can run out of bling?

Is it set at a total or does it refresh every so often?

[TLMAN]

You can run out of bling?

Look up the top at FAQ and look through "reputation"

[Joni]

And please let this thread stay on topic, about the calendar!

By purchasing a calendar it will go up.

[Joni]

[Joni]

[McDuck]

[Her_C4]

OK - I will take another three (5 in total) - they will be a good addition to the xmas stockings .......... :bleh: :Punk: Payment made this afternoon.

[adamh]

i'll buy one PM sent :D

[Joni]

Right we have 15 to go!

Who is KP Krene Please? No reference... I presume another site donation?

edit: Thanks Doc, its you... a reference and in the right account would have been handy! Im not the good at cryptic stuff... what would happen if I used the money for a sandwich? Thanks for the order though.

[Joni]

Just a reminder guys, photo submissions close next Thursday, so this is the last weekend to get the bikes out and snap some shots! :2thumbsup

Easier said than done, unless they extend the deadline until after the 17th November when we are all together adventuring on top of the green green hills doing the CCC ride..
I'm putting a braided brake line on the DR Saturday this weekend and not sure what J wants to do Sunday, might be out on a bit of a ride northish so might make it hard to catch up this weekend.

[Deviant Esq]

Since it was such a lovely day today I couldn't resist heading out there and filling my quota of 5 submissions... So I did just that! Emailled them through just before, hopefully one might make the grade. I'll buy a calendar regardless though! :cool:

Reminds me, must get my order in. *Goes to take care of that right now*

[Joni]

Well I managed to get another 3 calendar orders at the KB birthday bash.... thanks mikkel, SDU and LoC :eek:

I will do a count later and let you know how far off we are now!

[McDuck]

cool. cant be farr off.

[Swoop]

cool. cant be farr off.

Just announce "No more orders for the calendar will be accepted!".
Then all the late comers will arrive with "oh, I didn't know anything about this - can I order one??":crybaby:

[McDuck]

[Joni]

Well I wont say for definate... but if everyone who I heard from over the weekend pays what they say they will... we have hit 150!

Hopefully that is official in a day or two....

:thud:

By this time every year I wonder why the hell I agree to do this.... :cry: I hate begging people for money.

[Machiavelli]

Just announce "No more orders for the calendar will be accepted!".

Yeah, and maybe if we sneak up to the closing date for purchasing calendars without telling anyone we might sell less coz people won't realise they should get in and buy em!

That'll sure show them... um... when we sell less... :blink:

[McDuck]

i dont know ither....

[Machiavelli]

What happened? The cut-off date happened without much fanfare and many potential customers were left with their wallets full and their wallspaces empty?
Doesn't sound like a very brilliant way to sell as many as possible to me (i've already got my three though ;))

[Joni]

The cut off date is on the homepage.... however I have once again learned people do not follow instructions well... you say pay into this account, they pay into that account... you say email me your contact details to a certain addy, they them pm you or email another addy... gah! And I am just expecetd to know....

:thud:

[Machiavelli]

You're doing a great job though, Joni. I liked your idea of threatening to make unlabelled payments a site donation :devil2:

The cut-off date came, and so did a bunch of "oh f*ck! Can I please put an order in!!" latecomers who have reading difficulties...:rofl:

Get your orders in folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Joni]

You're doing a great job though, Joni. I liked your idea of threatening to make unlabelled payments a site donation :devil2:yet I have received 4 payments with no reference.... :confused:

Last year there was a payment I could not track down... to this day Mr I forget his surname has not got his calendar....

We are busy finalising the art work and will be getting the files off to the printers as soon as possible....

Well after a fairly rough week calendar wise it will be printed tomorrow....

Rashika and myself have looked at the thing sooo many times now, if there are any mistakes I am not sure if our eye will pick it up anymore :(

Now just wait for delivery, do all the envelopes and get the suckers in the post!

Phew! :blink:

[Weaver]

Sweet as. Can't wait
Good work Joni

[Kendog]

Thanks for the hard work, you deserve a :niceone: and a few :drinkup:

Awesome Thanks for all your hard yack! Appreciate it & we look forward getting our calender.

[Joni]

Well the final product will be delivered to me tomorrow... however I saw it today.

Looks good... one problem, they have not included a back cover, which I asked for.

However if they were to unbind them and ad the cardboard etc, with the printers work load it would mean another 7-10 working days. So I said no. I'm a bit gutted that the back page which we put so much effort in is now right at the back... but oh well! I cant do much more this time round.

[Pumba]

Awsome work Joni:niceone:

I am sure we all are looking foward to the finished product

[Devil]

Great work, Jo :innocent:

[Joni]

Thanks babe.....

No backing board though.... sucks being me the prefectionsit! :crybaby:

[Joni]

Hope ya haven't sent mine yet. Have changed address (have PM'ed ya). Would hate ta miss it.As I said in the PM to you, this is becoming a little challenging to manage as its not just you, but a few, who are sending those types of messages.

So to everyone who has ordered: As of 8pm tonight, if i dont have the right address, you will need to arrange for collection from the one I have.

[ManDownUnder]

Hey Joni... don't know if I'm the only one to see this but... this is a 6 month project you take on here... and I for one am grateful.

:niceone: Thank you :niceone:

There - said it... now I'm off to be less sycophantic somewhere else.

[Joni]

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.

[RiderInBlack]

To say my life has been a little chaotic the last 3 weeks would be an understatement. Sorry for the inconvenience Joni. I do appreciate ya efforts, but I have not done this ta cause ya problems believe me. If I don't get the Calendar because of it, I won't be blaming you.

Filling in a redirection form at the Post Office might be a good plan.

Unfortunately I think they charge for it now, but hopefully it's less than the calendar.
