Author Message   Blake Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 08:11 pm:        You are more than welcome. Calendar status update. Recieved fourth go round on the proof today. Approved it and pulled the trigger on the printing. I apologize again for the delay. But it is all CJ's fault.   CJXB Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 08:19 pm:        As long as when everyone gets their calendars, loves them, and it's a huge success that it's my fault too, fine I'll take the blame !! CJ   Metalstorm Posted on Monday, March 28, 2005 - 10:45 pm:        Woo Hoo! I'm sure it'll be worth the wait Thankyou (Blake & all involved) for all the effort you've put into it.   Wyckedflesh Posted on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 - 09:54 am:        cool, can't wait to see them   Blake Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 04:27 am:        Way small, way poor quality version of collage page in calendar All pics taken from BadWeB. Recognize your bike?   Blake Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 03:38 pm:        Last chance to get in on the direct mailing from the printer. Printer says they will be ready ship on Monday or Tuesday.   Kinger Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 03:50 pm:        Just bought one for the office!!!   Cataract2 Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 03:57 pm:        Who do we make the checks out to? Calendar? Also, the total is $19.95 right? (Message edited by cataract2 on April 01, 2005)   CJXB Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 04:15 pm:        You can make the checks out to CJ McKay, just mail directly to me !! Trust me !! LOL CJ   99buellx1 Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 04:39 pm:        All the ordering info is at the top of the page.   Blublak Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 06:48 pm:        Hmmm.. Not sure what my status is on the order thing.. I guess I'll send another little payment.. Blake, it's coming your way.. Thanks again..   Smokedaddy Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 06:58 pm:        Recognize your bike(s)? Nope ... -SD:   Turnagain Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 08:24 pm:        >> Recognize your bike? about four times (plus a few cuts and a couple others.) I'll cut a check this weekend to see if there's anymore in there. when dcbrag.org went belly-up for a few weeks and I thought the end had finally come, I put a page together with some of my stuff. Maybe there's something in there you can use for the next edition. tx   Wyckedflesh Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 08:36 pm:        Recognize your bike(s)? yes and one of the pics I was hoping would get used. Had it not been for this get off I would be ordering another but funds just aren't there right now.   M2me Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 08:51 pm:        All the ordering info is at the top of the page. You just destroyed CJ's dream! Sorry CJ, but there will be no marble countertops, no gold-plated bathroom fixtures, no scantily clad pool boys running around your luxurious mansion. Your scam to steal millions of dollars from Buell owners has been exposed!   BadS1 Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 09:51 pm:        Yeah my bike is there twice.   Daves Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 09:59 pm:        Blake, When are you sending me the ones I ordered?   Timbo Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 10:07 pm:        Too Cool! Can't wait to get mine.   Blake Posted on Friday, April 01, 2005 - 10:29 pm:        Dave, Yours go out with the rest of the direct mailers straight from the printer on Monday or Tuesday. Any orders later than this weekend will go out separately via Blake mail starting about 4/11.   Court Posted on Saturday, April 02, 2005 - 05:52 am:        Remeber to ask thour Buell dealer "Do you have Buell calendars?" Then you can show them how to get them....be a neat thing for a dealer to have on the counter right? Court   Rek Posted on Saturday, April 02, 2005 - 07:57 am:        Seems like it might be time to start collecting data for the 2006 BWB calendar... BWB grrrrrls anyone? Rob   CJXB Posted on Saturday, April 02, 2005 - 01:22 pm:        Sorry CJ, Dang m2me, destroyed my dreams is right !! My imagination had me quiting my job, laying out by my pool with the hot "cabana boy" bringing me drinks and putting on my suntan lotion !!! On a good note me and Grape are headed to Vegas next Friday, I can't wait !! CJ   Naughtynurse Posted on Monday, April 04, 2005 - 09:27 am:        Cj and Grape, Hope you have a good trip!   CJXB Posted on Monday, April 04, 2005 - 11:09 am:        Thanks naughty !!! CJ   Wyckedflesh Posted on Monday, April 04, 2005 - 12:30 pm:        Wish I was in better shape, I would pop up just to say HI and buy you two a drink while your there   CJXB Posted on Monday, April 04, 2005 - 02:23 pm:        Just work on getting healed wycked !! CJ   Whodom Posted on Friday, April 08, 2005 - 04:15 pm:        Blake, just wondering if the calendars shipped from the printer on Monday or Tuesday as mentioned above. I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing how they turned out. TIA   Wyckedflesh Posted on Friday, April 08, 2005 - 05:07 pm:        me too does the I want to see the calendar rain dance   Blake Posted on Friday, April 08, 2005 - 05:51 pm:        I was told on Monday that they were in house at the Direct Mailing facility and would be going out on Tuesday. Yesteday after lunch I get a call from the print-shop in Canada advising that a few of the color tones for April are off just a bit from the rest of the calendar, so they stopped printing at quantity 100 in order to consult with me. I advise the nice young lady that she must have me confused with another customer, since my order is for job #3405 and I was told that it was in house at the direct mailing facility in Florida last week. "BadWeB calendars?" she asks. I affirm. "No that order is the one I'm taling about; I'm looking at one of the pages for it right now." "But how can that be?" I ask, "you promised a five day turn around, and I approved your fourth proof submittal on Monday March 28th??!!" So the guy in FL lied about the calendars being there on Monday. WTF??? As for the printing discrepancy, it turns out that the difference is noticeable for the badweb beige background color and for the dark blue of the month/year title text is all. Quality of picture and printing is good, just a bit different shading for the April calendar page is all. So next year we'll make each background different! So, still gnashing my teeth, I authorized the printing to continue and got them to FedEx whatever they could produce by deadline yesterday to the direct mailing service. If the people at the direct mailing facility keep their word, the first 122 calendars are on their way via first class mail for domestic deliveries and air-mail for overseas orders. The list included orders for 182 calendars, so there will be 60 orders that won't go out until Monday of next week. Please accept my appologies and fogive me for lying to everyone. This has been a true exercise in frustration for me. I learned my lesson. No selling printed stuff until it is printed and in hand! But as I've said all along... It is all CJ's fault! The good news is that it looks like at present we've raised almost $1,000 for the FX racer's fund. Thanks to Chris and Dani at Gail's Harley-Davidson for ordering up twenty calendars just the other day. BTW, did anyone who ordered via the ebay store NOT navigate to it via the hyperlinks posted atop this page? I ask because ebay is supposed to provide a referral credit worth 75% of their sales fee for all ebay store inventory item sales that result from referrals by web pages outside of the ebay domain. I'm pretty sure almost all ebay orders originated through the hyperlinks atop this page and so should thus gain referral credit, but ebay has not provided a single such credit. They may send you an email asking if you did indeed navigate to the BadWeatherBikers ebay store via the hyperlinks atop this page. Please be sure to respond, especially if you did indeed use the BadWeB hyperlink as described. It will be worth about $100 if ebay does the right thing and provides the credit for each of the orders. Apparently this is not just an issue with a few ebay stores, their ebay discussion forum is full of complaints about this very issue. Sorry Hugh; that was probably more than you bargained for. Thanks for letting me vent. PS: I just confirmed the situation with the actual manager of the direct mailing service that packages with multiple calendars are shipping today via FedEx ground, and they will ship overseas and the rest beginning tomorrow through Monday. He seems to be an honest and forthright man. Who'll be the first to receive their calendars?   M1combat Posted on Friday, April 08, 2005 - 06:38 pm:        Did Aaron's LSR Dyno run make it into the calendar?
