Hey ladies....
There's been some talk lately of doing some CBR Forum calendars. Let me stress that this is PURELY preliminary talk right now, and we're trying to gauge interest in such a thing (if any). I'm posting this here, as I KNOW if we ask the Gents, they'll express just how 'interested' THEY are, but I'm more interested in learning what you ladies think.
Please give some thought (and give me your feedback) to the following questions:
1.) If we were to do a "Ladies of CBR Forums" calendar, would you like to participate?
2.) If yes, what kind of format would you like to see?
3.) If yes, what month/year would you like (based on a 16 month, running September '07 through December '08)
4.) Do you think we should keep it "clean" and totally family safe, do you think it should be racy, or do you think it should be somewhere in between?
5.) Do you think we should sell it purely for the cost of printing, or do you think we should add on a few dollars to help support the Forum?
6.) What sell price (or range) do you think would be feasible to get for such a calendar?
Here's my ideas and thoughts on the subject:
Knowing what it takes to put such a thing together (soliciting, collecting and selecting pictures, graphics/layout, printing, marketing, etc....), I think we should either shoot for a.) a 16-month calendar, beginning in September 2007, running through 2008, OR b.) a 12-month calendar for 2008.
Depending upon how many ladies express interest in participating, I think (based on a 16 month calendar) each lady could have her "own" month.
Ideally, I'd like to see two pictures from each lady for their month: a "main" picture of them on, or with their bike, in riding gear (not necessarily their helmet, but that would be fine, too) or in race leathers/helmet on the track. Then an inset picture of them in "regular" gear. This picture could be tame, or sexy... that would be left to the individual to determine. Cleavage, tummy and leg would be acceptable (but of course we'd stupiulate no nudity).
All ladies paticipating would be actual RIDERS, not just passengers (or wives/girlfriends of riders). Depending upon the number of submissions we get, we COULD dedicate a month as a collage for non-riding members, as well as girlfriends and wives of male members.
We would set a "cut off date" and post minimum (i.e. Must be a member by XX/XX/06, with XXX minimum posts). This way, the girls participating in the calendar are actual contributing/active members.
This is all I can think of for now, but PLEASE, give me all of your feedback..... any ideas, objections, suggestions you have, we'd love to hear them!!!!!!!!!!!
And don't forget to vote in the poll, too!!!

I'm all for it, I'd like to submit photos of my bike to see about it. The only thing is that I'm also the director for speedfreak (www.speedfreakinc.com) and I was windering if I'd be able to wear my shirt in the shoot? Obviously I'll use different photos for the shoot, because we have a professional photographer....but these give you a basic idea of me and my bike...
Great lookin' bike, and great pictures!! I'm not sure... I think we'd have to run that by the other Mods/Admins regarding wearing a shirt promoting another site. I just think it'd be better to either promote CBR Forums, one of the sponsors, or just not promote any site at all in the pics, but again, I guess IF we decide to go forward with this project, we'll make some very specific guidelines at that point.
Thanks for posting the pics!! :)

It sounds like a fun idea - being open to riders only is what would keep it from being just another models draped over a bike dealie..... (I think?)
Would you try to get orders in advance, or how would the up front printing costs be paid? Could it be done at the same time as the BOTM to save money?

Yes, being open to actual pariticpating, active members keeps the REAL factor up. There are plenty enough other calendars out there (Garage Girls, Fast Dates, etc....) featuring models and bikes. So this one would be different in that it's REAL riders, and actual members of THIS site. 
We haven't gotten as far as figuring out how/when the orders will be handled. Still just gauging interest at this point.

I'd be interested... I'm actually having pictures taken of my bike this weekend (depending on the weather)!! What sort of timeframe are you looking to have the pics submitted by?

First, i would just like to say that this was brought up in another forum a few months ago and i was all geared up to do it, but what i found was that everyone was planning to do partial to full nude photos and i backed out of it. I would only want to be involved in a calandar that I would want to have for myself, and personally i wouldn't want a calandar full of half naked women in my house or office. having said that...
1.) If we were to do a "Ladies of CBR Forums" calendar, would you like to participate?
yes, depending on what people are wearing, etc.
2.) If yes, what kind of format would you like to see?
3.) If yes, what month/year would you like (based on a 16 month, running September '07 through December '08)
May or June
4.) Do you think we should keep it "clean" and totally family safe, do you think it should be racy, or do you think it should be somewhere in between?
personally i think it should be clean and family safe, and by that i don't mean wearing full gear making sure no legs or cleavage is shown, i'm just saying not to include tits and a$$. I don't think it should be limited to wearing riding gear, but i think we should rule out anything we wouldn't want out 8 yr. old sons to look at.
5.) Do you think we should sell it purely for the cost of printing, or do you think we should add on a few dollars to help support the Forum?
i think that's up to whoever is making it, but i think if you add some $$ to help support the forum that ea. participant in the calandar should get at least one calandar at cost.
6.) What sell price (or range) do you think would be feasible to get for such a calendar?
If put over cost i wouldn't add more than a couple dollars to the price only because the cheaper they are the more people are apt to buy. (if they're $10 people on a smaller budjet might buy one or none, if it's $7-8 more people are apt to buy one and be more apt to buy two or three. just my .02
I realize sex sells, but to who?? there are a lot of family people on here and i feel that more people will buy it if they can put it up w/o worrying about their kids seeing it or their wives disliking it, i won't put up a "sexy" calandar in my home and i know my hubby wouldn't buy one either, but that's just me. If it stays clean i'm in, if not i'm out. :)

Just to let you know the plan has always been NO-NUDITY in this calendar....
The "sexy" part we are talking about would be maybe alittle cleavage or legs or similiar.....
We would NOT be trying to put together any form of porn..lol
The idea would be as nee said earlier for maybe two pics of each girl in a month....one in gear on the bike looking ready to ride, more than likely sitting on the bike....and the second would be either just the girl or the girl next to the bike in normal clothes or the something sexier look. My idea is making this an inset picture to the larger one on the bike....then some texting about the girl maybe with a quote or a question and an answer....maybe some stats....age/location/occupation/ect.....something fun but deffinatly family friendly. When I presented this option to the other mods/admins it was not an idea to see some naked chicks....I admire women who ride! I think that in itself is sexier than anything!
So rest assured ladies.....this is all in tribute to you as riders!!
