2011 AMCA Calendar

[wlwood]

We're getting ready to start work on the 2011 edition of the AMCA calendar, and we're looking to AMCA chapters and individual members for help in assembling photos of you and your antique bikes (1975 or older on the bikes—your age may vary!).

These photos work best if you can send them digitally at the highest available resolution (don't downsize them on your computer). Please send them to AMCAEditor@gmail.com. Include your name and AMCA number, and be sure to add the words "Calendar photos" in the subject line.

If you prefer, you can also send prints by mail (but please, send copies, not the originals, as we cannot return them to you). Send those images to: AMCA Calendar, P.O. Box 3004, Westerville, OH 43086.

If you want to order your 2011 calendar, you can send a check for $12 in U.S. Funds (same price for domestic or foreign destinations), along with your return address to: AMCA Calendar, P.O. Box 1715, Maple Grove, MN 55311-6715. In order to ensure delivery in time for Christmas, your orders must be in no later than November 15.

I want to suggest bike pix and interviews of c-ballers only.
I have no interest in seeing pix of Bubba and Cletus of the inbred chapter having a beer in a sheep pasture.

What calendar have you been getting Phil ?

[fillibuster]

Sorry Eric, I'm a lousy smart-aleck.
I'm getting the same calendar as you.
What I meant to say was that I prefer the bikes to the pix of people. The cannon-ballers, however, are of interest to me, especially in what they would have to say about their machines and the ride. I don't think that the magazine will have space to honor them all, but the calendar could help that cause, plus provide small interviews. There were 45(?) entrants; will we see or know them any better than we do now? I hope so, and the calendar would be my vehicle of choice. ....... my vote

[marsh1915hd]

I think that's a good move. Interviews of Cannon Ballers and there bikes. Only OLD USA BIKES NO Broughs. NO Nimbuss, No BMW. No Kawasakeys or any kind of keysakeys. I like some Hondas but not on the calendar.....

Calander and also the magazine insert as many as you can,magazine space providing and follow up with a few more in the next issue

I agree; bikes, bikes, bikes, and like Marsh, I want to see American bikes. However, this is the kind of thread that starts the never-ending debate over American vs. foreign bikes in the AMCA. As for the calendar; I'm quite happy with it since my Henderson was in the 2010 Calendar.

I'd like to see see a few early choppers on it as well. After all.....it was the earlier riders who modified them and tried new things with them. Regardless of how dangerous they made them. LOL Paps

[marsh1915hd]

How about the foreign bikes are like the ARMY, DON'T ASK, DON'T TELL, Worked for them for many years. We are the AMCA not The AMCEURO. I do like there bike's, just do not need to look at one all month.

[Rubone]

We are the AMCA

Last time I looked that reads as the "Antique Motorcycle Club of America" not the antique American motorcycle club.
And I suppose next you would like to take away Katrin's ride accomplishment in the Cannonball because she is German and rode a British bike! Where were all the big bad American bikes while she was kicking ass?

Looks like the debate has started but I'm staying out of this one... Although I'd like to see a Cannonball calendar as well. I also doubt that anyone would discount Katrin's efforts on her cool little J A P single. That gal showed she had the grit to play with the big boys!!!

Awesome stuff, Cory!
We on the forum have to feel very fortunate for being able to enjoy all of this on our pc's. But a great many of our members (and prospective members) don't have pc's, or lack the patience and skill to visit as we do. I have to ask whether we feel that we exclusively own the rights to the enjoyment of this event? If we wish to share with the tech-challenged, pix on paper is likely the best vehicle.

I have one other suggestion for the whole club: whassay we throw the whole report into the Foundation, and let them publish a separate issue of The Antique Motorcycle, and sell it for 25 bucks. and a video for 25 bucks.

(okay, throw insults, but please don't throw food!)

I like most all things mechanical. However, I prefer most machinery from before 1957 or so, especially on the calender, so I'll send in some early stuff. This thread was started as a plea for calender content contributions from it's creator; Greg Harrison. No real comment is needed, just send in what you would like to see.
However, if what you would like to see & not see goes far above & beyond the calender, then the Survey is the place to voice that. Hint, HINT.
Get those surveys in, it is the direct conduit of what the membership wants & doesn't want, not the calender.
