2005 PENTON CALENDAR

[Randy Kirkbride]

I've deceided to tackle a project I've been thinking about for some time.  
A Penton calendar.  
I need good quality photos of anyone who wants to be on the calendar. However, there are only 12 months in the year so I will not be able to use all of them. I'll try to pick out the most interesting ones. I prefer color pictures but will consider anything. They can be action shots or just bikes, but only Pentons. Need names with pictures, too.
Send hard copies to PO Box 191, White Cottage, OH 43791. If you want it returned, please include a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
You can also email pics to //[email protected]
Don't put this off. I need to get busy on this so they'll be ready in time.
All proceeds from the sale of calendars will be donated to POG.
Thanks

What a great idea! Perhaps some of our more well connected members can obtain some historical pictures from "the day" that you can include.

Randy,  How are you set up for printing the calendar?  I took a shot at producing a calendar for our local sanctioning body and few years ago and found that the cost to print it in color, is attrocious.  I forged on, with the intention to at least produce the thing in black and white, but despite plenty of advance orders, still could not justify the cost.  Hopefully you already have this part figured out.
Good luck.  TED

Hi Ted,
I figured on printing them myself.  I reproduce lots of pictures & thought I'd like to try it. You're probably right, if you had them commercially done it would cost way too much.  We'll see how it goes as a first timer.
Thanks

Randy,
 That sounds great I'll take one.Let us know when you get them printed.Try to include one from all ten years and the 1/2 years will make 12 but anything will be great.Good luck

Randy,
  As always such great contribution.  If you make a decision on the direction of pictures let me know and I will see how I can help.  I just see all types of possibilities.  You could do old racing pictures, new racing pictures, new restorations, old unretores bikes or a mixture of all.  It might be interested to feature a picture of a a bike with the owner and a bio of owner or bike.......just let me know if I can help.

Thomas,
Both pictures came through fine.

Ron,
Do you know any swimsuit models???  Penton Swimsuit Edition  [^]

Seriously, It will probably will be a combination of pictures for the first time effort. I'm looking at all pics before I deceide. We need everyone to dig out those pictures & email them.

Good answer.  I will try to look up some pictures next week.

Thanks Randy !! I am glad you got them but if you were to take a trip down to Kerrville Texas you could shoot the whole calender in 1 place.You might want to make a coffee table picture book with all of these babies.......it could happen,,,,,you gotta belive.

If you want to consider an action shot I can send you the double jump picture that Cycle News ran of me skyshotting at the Berwick Pennsylvania AHRMA National in 2001 on the 77 250 MC5.  I think I showed it to you when you were here.  It was a jump that was built for Ricky Johnson to practice on back in "The Post-Vintage Day".

Randy, Go ahead and put me down for a calendar or book now because I am sure these are going to be a hit !! Larry I wish you could post that shot so all of us could see it !!

Larry,
Send it!  Action shots or still photos. I've got some great pics to chose from. I think the hardest thing is going to picking which ones to use.

[tmc3c]

Randy I have some good shots of me flat tracking ! Are you going to be at Mid-Ohio ? I will be bringing them there,would there be a way we could copy them for you to use?
