[SaShWhO]

Happy April everybody.
hope that we get many awesome pics of your bikes and our beautiful state again this month!.
please note some minor changes in the time line below.



the posting Guidelines:

1. please submit only ONE current picture of your current bike preferably with a season appropriate background.
2. the picture should have a scenic Colorado backdrop seeing the theme of this calendar is CSC bikes and Colorado. In other words don't submit your favorite pic of your bike in the garage or in front of your house. Along with your pic tell us a little about you and your bike to include yr/make, model mods if any, your name, age , occupation and most importantly where the pic was taken.
3. It must be your current bike and you must be a active member of the CSC.
4. There is no more limit as to how many peeps can submit pics per month for we've decided to select the 10 awesomest pics every month for the viewing public to vote on. Rest assured that there will be no favoratism of any kind going into this selection process. We're simply going to select the most calendar worthy submissions based on the posting criteria and our love for the sport and Colorado.
5. you may submit your pic in subsequent months if your bike is not chosen. If you win the bike of the month poll you may submit up to 5 more detail pics of your machine. These may be action pics, detail up close and personal pics or pics with you and or a model on your bike. We may put these in thumbnail format on the bottom of the winning months pic once the calendar gets put together.


the voting Guidelines:

1. YOU MAY ONLY VOTE ONCE
we'll keep the thread open for the first 7 days of the month for pic submissions. A poll will be inserted in either the thread or a seperate new voting thread.
Remember~~ you can only vote once.
2. voting will start no earlier than the 7th day of each month and will run until the 10th day at which time a winner will be announced.
Please vote carefully and without bias to people and or their particular flavor of bike.
I hope you all are looking forward to this as much as I am for the finished product ought to be something we CSCers can all be proud of and needless to say the month to month braging rights if you're the lucky one.

Have fun with this and best of luck to all that participate.

NOW BRING THE PICTURES!!!!

Not genuine Honda... saved a few $$$ by going aftermarket... Under-the-Tree Motorcycle Products. :lol:

Dirk... We connected once at Deckers when I brought an HP2 Sport to the store. Talked VFR's. Been casually on the lookout for one every since renting one overseas. Found a mint '01 with 12.8K on the clock owned by a middle aged gent who kept detailed service records. Have made a few mods since bringing it home in Feb. Was 35 degrees last week when pausing for the image on the way to Woodland Park, but the V-4 had me happily oblivious.

:oops: Thanks. :) The 1000R is much more than just a bike in the collection to me. I posted something on the VFR board a while back in response to a guy who was thinking about selling his (paid for) bike because of tough financial times and it describes what the 1000R means to me:


Larry, I won't presume to tell you what to do or pass judgement on you for asking for input. I'll just relate my story. I was a freshman in college on my own working two jobs to pay for school and have a little food to eat when the 500 Interceptor came out. I had been drooling over one of my bosses' original 1983 750 Interceptor for months. If I could have afforded the 750, I would have gotten it but the 500 was the one that I thought I could just barely pay for. My boss co-signed the loan for me with two conditions: 1) if I ever couldn't make the payments, the bike was his and 2) someday down the road, I'd be in a situation to help someone get their dream bike. I still vividly remember the guy at the dealer (Foothills Honda in Easley, SC) calling me up and saying "Dirk, the bank says come get this bike." As a physics student, I knew that faster than light travel was impossible but I came pretty damn close on the way there. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

Working two jobs and going to school full time (in physics, not underwater basket weaving) was very tough. I had very little free time during the school year but what I had was spent riding that 500. It truly did keep me going, on through graduate school in astrophysics. There were times in grad school when money was very tight and I would skip meals for lack of money. I would sometimes look at the 500 and think that I could get a decent amount of money for her. But I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It might have helped me pay a few bills on time or eat a little better, but selling it would have eliminated my greatest release from the stress of school and trying to keep everything together. I am sure selling it would have been a disaster for me. I told myself that one day all of this hard work would pay off and it did.

A year after I bought the 500, the VF1000R arrived in the States. God, I wanted that bike so bad but there was no way I could have possibly afforded it. I told myself that I would continue to work hard and one day I would have one. I finally bought a pristine example of one a few years ago and when I got it home and put it in the garage, I just stared at it. I am not ashamed to say that I was in tears. It was the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice, and a very emotional moment. Yes, it was just an old bike to everyone around me. But to me, it was much, much more than a machine. It was a symbol of what I had gone through to get it. It was a reminder to me of the very positive impact that motorcycling and the motorcycling community had had on me. Riding means a lot more to me than just being out there riding. Maybe it's the same for you.Dirk

I think for her it’s more about the big monitor than your bike.

Man, people were talking about sand on the roads...but that's ridiculous. F-it. I'm staying in Florida where the roads are straight and nobody wears helmets.

Hang in there for a bit. Once the spring rains wash it away, you're in for a real treat.
