2018 Slingshot Calendar (official thread)
-
Display More
REPRINT UPDATE: Spoke with the printer today ... minimum order is 100 calendars. As I thought there was an increase in the price. The increase coupled with the cost of packaging and postage averaging between $7 and $13 means the cost will be $30 per calendar.
I will reorder if we get to 75 calendars spoken for
To be honest, I think that is a fair price. I know that most Harley/Corvette calendars are between$15 and $20 but they are smaller in size and don't contain photos of the actual machine(s) you or your friends own. I am not eligible for any postal discounts from zip code or address verification services that some businesses may have available to them.
I think I could break even at a $25 price point when 2 or more calendars are shipped together so I may offer a discount when multiple calendars are ordered and shipped together to the same address.
As of now, I have 9 calendars spoken for
@Ross, I'll bump the posts I made on FB....do you want me to mention the decreased cost for ordering two or more, or just leave that out?

ITS only had 110 views there but since it didn get posted till late sunday eve that's expected , maybe @EjFord or somebody could keep an eye on it and bump it for us as it starts to get into Thursday or Friday ? Its posted on T.D.S as 2018 SLINGSHOT CALENDARS NOW AVAILABLE

Funny how things happen in cycles. I read over on TDS before this site was created (Thanks @rabtech). Not sure I ever posted, seemed to be overrun with jerks and know it alls, that really didn't know much of anything. Mostly just looked at the things for sale, and read about problems or things people were doing to the SS. But it was active, and many people were posting there at that time. This place has a different feel entirely, and I think it will stay strong for a long time going forward. As for TDS, it might as well stand for The Dead Site.....

@Bubblehead your calendar should be delivered today. UPS
@Bill Martin your calendar should arrive tomorrow. UPS

It is interesting to me the change on TDS just in the last year. I started out there and there was quite a bit of back and forth on mods and service issues. Now it seems that many of those posts are from 1st time posters, and even when they get responses they never come back with a 2nd post on their own threads. There are those that are willing to help out but they get nothing back in return. There does not seem to be any camaraderie among the members like this forum.

The core group of TDS that made it work moved here & TDS has been rapidly declining ever since.

Pretty incredible business case, if you think about it. Not that this is a business, but if the customers aren't happy, they'll go elsewhere.

The problem over there, was that it WAS (& still is) a business. Here, it’s all about Slingshots & “family”...

I resemble that remark! And thanks to all for letting me a part of this forum (like you could get rid of me. I'm like a bad rash - I just keep coming back)!
Come to think of it @Tripod, the change seems to have started about the time you quit posting over there...

Yup, somebody bought them a year or more ago, as I recall. Maybe we should pool our resources and offer the $20 the site is worth. Make the homepage a redirect to here.
All "family" here. True, and important to me.

I wasnt around over a year ago , so I missed all the fun over there, but as a vender I do have to follow both regularily and I couldn't agree more with what @SlingLow and @Tripod say above ! The personal comraderie over there, while there is some, cant even hold a candle to this site !

Oh ,and Ive heard rabtech' referred to as a miracle worker , something about, creating a silk purse out of a sow,s ear given all the misfits and degenerates he ????
(damn me and my big mouth, there goes my sales again this month ! ) -
Most everyone on this forum, knows my story and how the Slingshot saved my life, and it all would not have happened if it was not for this spectacular family we have here, that give me the encouragement to get out and ride EVERY day. The friendships I have developed here are more meaningful then most of my relationships with family, at least here I know I can count on everyone for support, help and friendship. I LOVE THIS FAMILY ....
Mutual feelings here brother!
Merry Christmas - Happy New Year! -
