The MotoMatters.com calendar has earned a loyal following and customer base through the years. However, for a variety of logistical reasons, it has proven impossible to put together a calendar for 2018. So if anyone was holding out for a Christmas present, we are very sorry to disappoint you.
We are hoping this is only a temporary hiatus. The plan is to bring the MotoMatters.com calendar back for next year. Fingers crossed we will not face the same insurmountable problems we did this year.
However, we are currently investigating the production of other merchandise. We are researching reliable partners who can supply good quality material, and we hope to have news of that in the New Year. If you have suggestions for merch you would like to see - obviously there will be at least one T-shirt, and stickers are also high on the priority list - please let us know in the comments.

Fingers Crossed .......
...... for 2018 to return to normal.
Best of luck David & Team MM.
New vendors, new options?
Any chance your new vendors will be able to offer a 2019 calendar with a Sun-Sat format? I'm aware of the arguments on both sides of the 'Sun vs Mon start of the week format', but the Mon-Sun just didn't work for me. I would gladly buy a calendar next year if it is Sun-Sat format...
I would also be interested in a large coffee mug with MM graphics.
My .02.
Not to be confrontational, but the original format worked beautifully for me. Just my .02.
And a large coffee mug sounds sh*t hot! :) Now that I'm retired, it sounds like just the thing to sit around and have a cuppa joe while perusing the Motomatters website. Or for watching MotoGP!
Bummer!
Sorry to hear you've had production issues. Looking forward to next year!
Merchandise
Being from Aus....hats..proper hats not baseball caps...are always in style.
MotoMatters Hats
The idea of a paddock-full of people in replicas of David’s hat makes me giggle; like the climax of ‘V for Vendetta’ or the 2nd Thomas Crowne affair’. Merry Christmas all!
Merch
A Fidel Castro-style cap with a discrete logo would certainly be a nice thing.
Grey t-shirts
Simple with motomatters.com logo on front, with ‘Kropotkin thinks’ across the top of back of shirt (between shoulders).
Aww...your calendar is a MAINSTAY in our house!
This will indeed be a severe loss. I refer to your calendar perhaps hundreds of times a year. Won't know where to turn now...

i too will miss the calendar
but i guess we have to accept reality :)
I heard the shirt rumor...
I believe there was a tweet suggesting there might be a new batch of T-shirts to look forward to? Hoping my old one lasts long enough to meet its replacement... The hint there might be more than one is intriguing.
Being in America, I'm not even sure what a proper hat is, but since I'm not a fan of baseball caps, I'm curious.
Sadly Missed Calendar
I'm into long sleeved tees at the moment, I'd have one off you if you bring one of those out
Oh No!
This means I'm going to have to fend for myself in 2018! No more excuses at work as to why I am always off by a day (European vs American calendar format) ! LOL!
