Congrats Bill. My very first V4 was an 82 VF750 S and it was one superb machine. That was way back when I was immortal (and had not yet on several occasions spent time going down the road without benefit of the MC I left the house on). I wore the ends down off a few sets of foot pegs on that one. A friend had a big Sabre and I immediately wanted one after getting a turn riding it. Very nice example. :thumb :thumb Congrats again and Michael great pic for #12 of 2013.

So Michael and everyone/anyone else who may know....... with all these pics of great V4 bikes are we going to be able to get a V4BBS 2014 wall calendar? If so I am in for 2. Well? I thought about using one of my old ones but the days of the week don't match up to the day of the month. What to do, What to do? :dunno: :dunno: Hoping... :pope:

Hi Tom:

I have looked into it, and yes it is doable, but, and its a big but, I have been pretty much away since the end of August with the exception of a few weeks in Nov. for Thanksgiving, and we were mostly away then. Its just not something I can do while at sea with unreliable internet and 12 hour days. I did post a thread awhile back to guage interest and did ask if anyone would take this on but there was no real affirmative response, so I let it go.

I'm home again on the 20th of this month hopefully for awhile and will see what I can do. If it does happen it would have to be a limited amount as from my enquiries 50 calendars would run anywhere from $750-$1000 depending on the source. Cafe press has been mentioned as a possible source, but a check there revealed a calendar plus shipping would come to $27.48, and I'm not sure many here would want to pay that much. I am open to suggestions (again :) ) if anyone has a better idea on how to do this without breaking the bank.

Michael, I am not much of an artistic person but I will assist you anyway I can. Give me a call when you get home. I am off work from the 20th until 1/2/14 so I will have some time available. Not much riding weather likely then, although a day skiing is not out of the question.

Congratz!

For a cheap calender, try Walmart. Only $12. Sale ends Jan 31, 2014. http://photos.walmart.com/walmart/storecalendars/calsizeid=0/calstyleid=14#top

Hey Stretch, congrats on Dec. BOTM! :thumb
It's been a real pleasure knowing you and riding with ya!
C-ya at SGT bud!

Stretch · February 15, 2014, 11:14:38 PM

Thanks again guys. Sabres don't usually get much respect.

She's had several turns lately to the SGT, it may be the magna's turn this year.

Stretch · July 09, 2015, 12:04:07 AM

It seems like the picture has gotten lost or Kerry has started hacking sabre pictures again. ;D
