Every year I have a calendar made up for the Super Eliminator dragbikes and will do the same for 2012. I was thinking that I could have another calendar made up for the Suzuki 2 strokes and also have a picture of an RE5 on one of the months. I could put the RE5 picture on a month that is significant in the history of the RE5, such as when the first one was sold.
If I get enough interest in this project, do any of you have a really nice, high quality, large image of an RE5 that you would like to see on the calendar? Any thoughts would be appreciated and if you have a picture that I could use, send me a pm for my email address.
Also let me know if you would be interested in purchasing one of the calendars so I will be able to figure out if the project is worth doing or not. Price always ends up being $18 or $19 each plus shipping, depending on how much it costs me to have them made up. Thanks for any replies.

My RE5 isn't up there with the best yet so have a word with Ziggystardust if you want a pretty one to feature.

Sure Jess, It would be great to have a photo of your beautiful white RE5. I haven't received a lot of photos from the 2 stroke crowd yet so even more RE5's could be put on the calendar for anyone else interested. It would be cool to have Jess's bike along with a red and a blue 75 and a nice black 76. There is going to be at least one GT750 dragbike on the calendar as I have a really nice picture of "The Hatchet" dragbike that Kevin said I could use. Anyone interested, pm me for my email address.

As you have seen, the calendars didn't come up this year. What happened was, by the time I had enough pictures to make one, they didn't go on sale again. If I paid full price for them the price would have been too high to make them priced good enough to sell. They would have ended up being around $25 plus shipping which is way too high in my opinion. I didn't want to get stuck with a lot of them. I was hoping to be able to get them and sell them for around $17 or $18 each plus shipping at the most, maybe even less depending on the sale price. So, my apologies to those of you who sent pictures. I still have them and will use them for a calendar for 2013 and possibly another project that I might be able to do this year.

I own the 1974 UK Blue Re5 that was road tested in "Bike " magazine in Feb 1975 , I have owed it for 32 years, It's not mint condition as it is used , but maybe good with the history for your calendar ,

Steve,
I have owed the bike for 32 years, i knew the previous ( 2nd) owner who bought it from a Suzuki dealer , and its clearly blue in "BIKE" magazine in Feb 1975 .
I think you may be confused with another bike and magazine.
Regards
Roger
