Getting a great response from the RAT website forum! Thanks guys. Can i just remind ya's to include your address and bike upgrade/downgrades? This information will be critical to fit in with the calendars design (Your address won't be printed just your location ie.. Mr Smith - Ohio ) I will however use your address to send out the first 12 winners copy's :-).

 

Design Update
25-01-07

Good news is, if possible (room dependent) all entries will be shown on the cover and maybe even key moments throughout the calendar. Still only 12 will take the center stage, one for each month.

I've made contact with the charity for cancer and needless to say, they are delighted to have our support. I now am waiting for an account to be setup so then its official! It gives me a nice warm feeling inside, even on these -2 winter mornings knowing that collectively, we triumph lovers can do some good for this ailing world. So PLEASE be a part of this!

This potentially might well be huge, raising the question of would a print house print free calendars indefinitely? Even if their names are included on the cover? distribution, should demand become high? Would it be better to do a limited edition run of say, 100 or 1000? Would a limited run reduce any press interest? These are things me and my better half will now be looking into, however if anyone out there has some sound advice, Please mail me and do tell!

Thank you all and get snapping! Mart D ( martin@nobullguide.co.uk )

The ideal price to date would be £5.00 inc postage or £4.50 from stores. This could change but it is my ideal. All money with the exception of postage will go directly to the charity of choice * see below. I am approaching several printing firms in the local area to ask for there "free" support in this little fund raising exercise. An exercise i'm well aware may not even get of the ground. To date there has been 2 entrees, early days true. I'm asking RAT for support and hope to sell from Triumph dealers around the UK, e-bay & any other interested parties..

*The charity of choice is Cancer Research who do a great job in finding ways and means to cure and ease possibly the disease that claims most lives across the world; Cancer.

Only basic rules are, the Photo/s you send must belong to yourself and by being used not infringe on any copywriters laws within the UK, US or world wide. I cannot stress enough how important this is!

The basic proof of January has been completed and boy does it look fantastic! Lets say any buyers will NOT be disappointed!

Coming to this page will be, more info and updates, gallery of entrees to the calendar & more as i think of it.. Any suggestion, help or advise PLEASE drop me an email, any words of wisdom appreciated.

Oh and by the way, the Orange 95 Speed triple on the Calendar cover belongs to Mark, see the Tech Advice page to read Marks story on a rear shock. Mark, if you read this, Get that camera out and get snapping that hot little minx for the calendar. Ill be entering myself if I can show my better half how to use the Canon SLR !?!

Until the next update, keep those wheels a spinning. Mart D
