12 months in the year!
Nice job on the Tenere, and the link really brings to life what might otherwise look like a pretty standard rebuild project with a fancy set of rims (Ever the Evil's Advocate, me!) Still, it'll get one of my votes - it would be nice to see something with useful long forks on the CN Calendar!
But don't forget there are 12 bikes of the 50 that can get to be featured on the Calendar. I know it's not a Yamaha, but while you are there voting for the XT, have a good look at my mate Andy's Featherbed Harley that is also in the top 50 - it's a true custom with a heavily modded frame to fit the Sportster lump (an 883 taken to 1200, non standard carb, ignition etc), custom tank, seat, shaved Harley forks with a BSA drum etc etc. And it's no show bike - he rides it hard -I've been to France with him, and numerous rallies in the UK: more than 10k miles since the build up. To finally convince you, Andy is one of the brethren - he also owns a neat early Tenere!
