LaverdaForum - 2021 Calendar Voting

[Jo]

I will take over most of the approach Grant did with the previous calendar polls.

This year there will be 5 votes each, which all have to be used in the same session.
Means, use them all in the same session or lose them ...

Voting will run until end October to allow time for production and mailing out of calendars before Christmas.

Once the Voting is complete, I'll start a new thread for folk wanting to order them, and quantity.
Then you can PM me with your address.

Here are the selection criteria:
- I reduced the amount of pics - to a voting-sized 46 from almost 130 photos
- I tried to cover as wide a range of Laverda models as possible
- I tried to select self-taken as opposed to photos off the net
- I tried to cover a range across all geographic regions
- Composition of the photo was critical (no distracting backgrounds for example)
- The photo had to be sharp and clear
- In case the same bike is available in portrait & landscape, landscape is preferred
- I also tried to limit the number of photos of one bike or one type (like racing)

Not a simple process, and not because they were my favs, but they have to appeal to a wide range of voters.

I hope you like the ones selected; the rest is up to you now!

Cheers
Jo

Hope you like the collection for the poll. It was my intention, also to allow pictures, which tell a story, or, those which are just fun,
like Quentins eternal construction site.

Since this is my first time doing this, I am naturally curious to see how it goes!

Can you get the percentage figures in another colour Jo ?  As black doesn"t show up on some.

Hi Shaun,
I couldn't find anything regarding editable colours for those percentage figures unfortunately ...

Cheers

Don?t worry Quentin, I didn?t vote my pics either ?


As stated, tales from the garage are great IMHO! Looking at today?s ranking (after 36 folk have voted) Marty would be ?in? for example ?
However, in the end it has to please all of us!

Since it can now be foreseen which pictures will make the race, I did  start to ask for high-resolution versions of the relevant ones.
49 folk have voted till now.

 

[Grant]

Still time for a late surge!

When are these for sale, and will we get a preview of the 12 pictures chosen , just asking

 

[Jo]

Yes, surely! The voting will end late Oct.
Than I will present the chosen pictures.

 

[Jo]

I?ll open a separate LaverdaForum 2021 Calender - Preview and Ordering thread, as the poll is too confusing to show the selected pictures which made it IMHO.

 

[Grant]

You'll need a 13th for the cover shot by the way.

 

[Jo]

@Grant:  I know ? there is however an issue with #13.

Following the voting it would go to the picture of the legendary V6 #26 submitted by JLO, but this picture is not available
in a high resolution quality anymore:

For this reason, I would like to interchange it with another one from JLO featuring Giovanni and Piero Laverda, and,
Fernando Cappellotto from the same event @Paul Ricard:

Would the forum community support this approach?

Cheers
Jo

 

[LJ-2]

Fine by me, (I thought I"d aged considerably! )

 

[a14rgs]

You're the man in charge Jo - whatever you decide is fine by me

 

[Grant]

I always selected the cover photo myself, from the near misses in the voting.

It's your baby now, go for it.
