I still haven't got pictures from the other members yet. In my own opinion, we should probably be designing a template for the pictures to be used in. Uniformity is primarily what we need. I designed a little something really quick to show what I mean.
 
The calendar wouldn't change from month to month (just the picture). The only thing we would do to the picture is make it look "better" by cleaning it up, color correction, and modifying license plates (if needed)
This is just my idea. Let me know what you think about it.

+1 Good work Fox.
1 suggestion though, having printed a lot of these, I suggest changing the box colors to something much lighter or even white. Many people use calendars to write stuff for particular dates which you can't do on dark colors like black.
p.s. another possible suggestion; most calendars have all the usual holidays and such ... maybe find motorcycle event related dates/events to put in there as well? (e.g. motogp date/time etc..)

That's the best idea I've heard yet.
And I'll fool around with it some more. This is primarily a 1 hour job I threw together really quick to show the concept of the template idea. I'll come up with something a little more refined in the next couple of days.

I would also change the date boxes to something lighter, maybe a gray. Just something you can write on and see. Other than that it is pretty dang good looking.

Hey Fox, that looks great. I would like to see your ideas in this format. This would allow for the main pic on top plus a couple smaller pics also. I love that "cbrforums" logo at the top. Also where you have "Bike, Owner, Screen Name, maybe add Location, and a small list of mods. The bike related dates idea is awsome too, it could have AMA race events, Motogp and WSBK U.S. dates. I also think it would be cool for each month the color match the bike featured that month like you did in you layout.
Jersey= red and white, with black wording
THEX= orange and black , silver
Madkawa= maroon & white, black
Ripper= maroon silver, black
Dragonium= black silver, red
Rampage= black red, silver
TPGPZ= black silver
FOX= just like you have it
Tk954= black red, silver
Recker=red white blue
NY Erion= yellow black, silver
Rsp919= white blue, red

Thanks, I made that a LONG time ago, and really only posted it up just to show everyone an idea that I had of consistency, instead of a calendar that looks like it was thrown together by 10 different people. A clean, professional look is what I'm aiming at.
A lot of what you described I had as ideas to begin with, so great minds think alike. But it all comes down to the pictures supplied. It's hard enough trying to get everyone to send in 1 high-resolution picture, let alone 2 or 3.

Thanks man, definitely mods will be going on the calendar (maybe a bar along the side of the actual calendar). It'll look great either way.
