10k is awesome. Whatever the future of bdm is or is not, our dogs will always be the best looking factory assembled bikes out there. IMHO
As far as the calendar thing goes, personally if the choices end up being bikes with no babes or no calendar at all, I'll take bikes with no babes. I've seen some really good shots of the bikes we are all here to honor (ie potm) that don't involve t&a.
Would we get more submissions if the babes weren't an issue? Maybe it doesn't matter and no one would submit regardless, who knows. Just my two cents.
