KB Calendar - Get them while they're hot!!

**Racey Rider** · 3rd January 2006, 11:59

Sorry to say, I never intended to buy one, as any spare $ needs to be put in the racing budget for me, not pictures on the wall.
But I do approve of people going ahead with well planned ideas that benefit KB. So I will put my name down for one to help out. (There's no suzuki's in it is there?

)
Racey.

Highlander - I'm bloody glad I didn't. Originally, I was going to do 200, but then Spank and I had a chat, so I decided it wasn't going to cost any extra to do a rerun, so I got 100...

And Racey, it's to support the fricken site you post on. The pics are just a bonus. It's stuff like this that is trying to raise some cash to keep this site going. And it's only 15 bucks. You probably spend more than that at McD's! Why did you vote if you weren't going to buy one? And yes, there's zookies in it..

**Racey Rider** · 3rd January 2006, 15:56

Sorry I didn't think I had voted. And can't tell if I did or not from my view of poll results. If so then your criticism is taken onboard.

Great calender Bugsy. Well done.

April?

You calling me a fool.

OK Mr Bugjuice. After a night to consider the facts, I remember that I can tell if I voted or not. Every other poll I have voted on shows my vote indicated in Italics. Your poll Does Not show me any Italiced option, which shows me that what I first thought was correct.
I DID NOT VOTE IN YOUR POLL!
I did not vote in your poll because I knew I could not commit $'s at this time of the year to that cause. In fact I didn't even comment on your idea, or send photos as it wasn't appropiate without being 'onboard'.
Now, I have given small amounts to the TS race fund and the Jason Mc. race fund, brought stickers/KB patch and Sweetshirt as able, But Don't tell Me how much money I should spend at McD's! Why do you think I have to ride a Crappy little KR150? Because after just going through a business colapes, and trying to feed a family on the Dole, I Don't have a lot of discretionary income to buy 636's/ McD's more than one in 3 months/ and PICTURES FOR THE WALL!
Yes Pictures for the wall is what it is. Other wise why not make a $15 donation directly to the site? That way $7 of it doesn't go off to the printers.

Now I Thought I did the right thing here:
1. Didn't vote or comment on something I couldn't commit to buy.
2. Yesterday offered to buy one to help move them, even tho I don't need one.
3. Accepted your criticism calmy when I wasn't sure of my facts.
4. Come back to standup for my point of view now that I have confirmed my postion.

I applaud your getting this calander project together well.

I will still go ahead and buy one if needed.
But i now think your criticism was uncalled for,
and await your APOLOGY.

(what do people think about that last bit?

too much? Just trying to add that Dramatic ending!)

lamo.. good post, or is it a nerve I hit?
k, I can't see if you voted or not, period. But just by your comment, Sorry to say, I never intended to buy one, would imply to me that you voted. If you didn't, then that's ok then.

If you want to donate $15 straight to Spank, there's nothing to stop you doing that. But since a lot of people just don't for one reason or another (don't care, not asking), then this is kind of a good way to incite people to donate to the site, and to get something out of it too. Never said you couldn't. I also don't eat McD's. Disgusting shit. But at one point or another, I've probably spent 15 bucks shouting a meal or something (which is what I meant, not that you'd eat $15 worth yourself), and the 636 don't come cheap or quick. years of working my ass to the bone just to get to ride it.. every cent hard earned.
k, well I offer my humble apologies and chuckle and the posts

Well handled Buggie!

As we've seen, it could get a bit ugly if names are mentioned. But those who voted "yes" in the poll and have not bought a calendar, should be doing some serious soul-searching. If the calendars are not sold, those people have COST the site money.

Perhaps there are a few bruised egos, who aren't buying one because they didn't get their own picture in the calendar this year. But surely no-one would be so petty or precious?

It's a great calendar - bikes is bikes....

Mrs V just suggested that we could take a second one if they don't sell.

Dig deep guys, help keep this site running.

Got me a job interview for a $15 an hour base pay job next week. With a bit of luck I'll have money for one of these very soon. Wish me luck.

**bugjuice** · 4th January 2006, 17:17

RR - I offer my humble apologies for not quoting you in blue. Will bear that in mind next time

Virago - thanks for the support. There were heaps of photos submitted and we don't have heaps of months. So we had to cut hard. The ones that made it this time, won't make it next time, so other KBer's can get the chance for the next one (if there is a next one), so if you (not V, but you) missed out, then may be next time will be the one! Still shouldn't mean you don't need to buy one..

And WL, don't worry mate, there's still one waiting for you here! Good luck with the job mate, hope it goes well. Just think, for that one blissful hour, it'll be for KB!

Hey guys (and guyesses) - these calendars are just great - very professional, and some neat photos.

For anyone who is thinking of buying one, my advice would be to go for it.

I'll be sending in some photos of my bikes for the 2007 version. And whether or not my bike/s feature, I'll be buying several - makes a great gift.

Bugjuice, you have done a great job of this calendar - well done.

(FWIW, I paid $29.00 a few days ago for a Ducati one and the calendar is shit - it's just a line of numbers along the bottom with Sat/Sun in red - hopeless as a calendar. Lots of photos of wonderful Ducatis but......)

**bugjuice** · 4th January 2006, 20:19

thank you LB..
I'm hoping for the '07, it'll be better yet.. this one was a tad more rushed than I would have liked, so there'll be more thought and more prep if the 07 one goes ahead
