I am still riding with the badly damaged tank, waiting for a new one from Japan. once received and installed I’ll happily show pictures.
Understood. But you’re riding. That’s the good bit.

I would think the "rescue CB1100", as it might currently be (?), could be a photogenic candidate.
Fictional example:
Let's say a member's CB1100 is a salvage from the ravages of hurricane Ian found weeks later two kilometers down a street, half buried in mud, trash and crushed by a Hyundai Sonata. To some, this rescue could be a candidate. Not shiny, but character and soul nonetheless.
It could remind some calendar viewers why we ride such bikes, but just from a different point of view.

I was actually specifically looking for a super "non-standard" or counterculture viewpoint on the bike to include somewhere in the calendar. One user sent me an awesome series of pictures of his bike in a state of disassembly, which I will collage up and feature. bikes that are super dirty or ridden in very rough conditions, as long as the photography itself is good, is certainly on the menu and would be a cool thing to use.

Have you changed your avatar lately ?
(seeing the word 'police' on every other forum page opened is a little weird to me)

Yes I have. GO, the Canadian Comedian, appointed me to the Grammar Police and offered up an avatar which I adopted. It was a boring job so I quit after a day or two and went back to being a forum moderator which, I guess, makes me the Fun Police. Call me fickle, but I took on a new avatar. Is it a problem? Should I remove any reference to ‘police’?
Police is police.....regardless Fun or Grammar title/duty

Mmm ... maybe I'd better go undercover again.
