I just thought of a great a way for you all to make some money.

All you have to do is write a letter to the editor of any motorcycle magazine and mention The XL Forum with the address www.xlforum.net and if it gets published, with the forum address www.xlforum.net in it, I will send you $50.00 - Can it get eaiser than that?

PM or email me a copy of your letter to the editor, BEFORE THE LETTER IS PUBLISHED so that I can verify that you are the one who wrote it. Then send me a copy of the magazine with the published letter and I will mail you a US Postal Money Order for $50.00 plus the price of the magazine and shipping.

Oh yeah, only one person will get the $50.00 per magazine, per issue. What this means is that if two people get their letter published in the same magazine in the same month the person whoes letter comes first in the magazine will get the $50.00.

Right on, what a great way to reward the members who try and get XLF in the news!!!

Really appreciate that Bert, I'm sure you'll have more than a few people trying to get their letters published... hell, maybe its about time to shine my little sporty up and send some pics out to my favorite rags!!

Way to support your members, thanks.

Has Erik (GOTWA) been nagging you about getting that letter published? :roflblack

Thanks for the oppertunity Bert.:clap

*evil laugh* Can I stack appearances? Like, say, easyrider, ironhorse, and choppers mag for 150 bucks? Please tell me yes. :P

Yes as long as they meet the criteria in the first post.

Heck, you can make it $1000 at this rate!

How about 50.00 and paid 2 year Premium
Membership to XLF?
Or just 4 Paid years or something like that??

Biggy J

That will work also.

Hummmm......

LETTER TO THE EDITOR (http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/showthread.php?t=17383)

Thought I would maybe try and spread the message a little, so just about to send this off to a couple of UK Bike mags...

(Nothing to do with the $100.00! Honestly! No Mean Scotsmen jokes now!)

Thought you guys could be the first critics! NO guarantee that it will get published, but what's that saying again? Oh Yeah.. " If at first you don't succeed... GIVE UP" :D

And it’s all FREE…


I have been riding for over 28 years now and for the most part I have loved every moment! There has been the odd bad moments, careless drivers, having a spill, breakdowns and the vagaries of our wonderful climate in the UK. After a break of 10 years or so due to the dubious joys and responsibilities of parenthood! I got back into biking in 1996.

2 years ago I decided I had reached that age when I could eventually buy myself a new bike. Looked long and hard at everything from BMW to Ducati, I read the advice from the magazines, but I always ended up back at the Harley Dealer. Since I hadn’t won the lottery the Sportster was the only one in my budget. So I took the plunge and bought a new 883 Custom and had the Stage 1 tune done.

Now I know Harley’s are not the choice of all. But I have had more miles and smiles on this bike than I have in years, met some great people and every time I get it out I grin like the proverbial village idiot! The HD addiction soon set in and in my trawls through the World Wide Webby thing I found a place called the XLForum. I joined up, never having been a member of any forum before I had no idea what to expect, all I knew was they seemed to share the same passion for the Harley Sportster as I did. What I didn’t expect was to meet so many great people and make some very good new friends from all over the world.

The people on the forum have helped me learn more about my bike and how to work on it myself and considering a 3 fingered Monkey could probably handle a spanner better than me before joining the Forum this is like a minor miracle. Where else can you get FREE help and advice on just about every subject not just bikes. Share good and bad times with great people from all over this wee blue planet 24/7? Not only that it’s free to register and there’s no pressure to become a Member.

I’m know there are Forums for everything these days, and I’m sure many of them are as good, but if you love riding whether you ride a Harley or not pop in to the XLForum and say Hello you will be very welcomed. And to all the Guys and Gals on the Forum who have shared my passion and helped out, a Huge thank you.

Bill


:spank :rolleyes:

Good deal Bill!!! Be sure and send me a copy of any of the magazines that your letter gets published in.

Well Bert.. I got the XLForum.net into the November 2006 Issue of American Iron Magazine. It's on page 38 of the letters section under the title
"BAD SPECS". They had inadvertantly listed the wrong bore on a 1200 engine
so I sent them the correct spec with a shameless plug for our group.
Below is my letter and the answer from Chris Maida, AIM Editor.

Chris, on page 144 of the September 2006 Issue, you list the specs for a Klock Werks Custom with a stock 1200 Sportster engine. You got the stroke correct at 3.81", but you list the bore as 3.00". This incorrect. The stock
bore is 3.50" in a 1200cc engine. a 3.00" bore would make it an 883cc motor. We on the XLForum.net keep close track of these things.
Keep up the otherwise excellent work. Love the magazine and I recommend it
to all new XLForum.net members as the first one they should subscribe to.

Rut-ro! You are right of course, and I'm glad to see you guys on the XLForum

I'm glad you got published... I should contact Chris and see if there is any movement on the riding story I submitted to them in the beginning of August. (They are having a contest for stories) I figured if they were interested in the story, they would have contacted me already, but maybe a follow-up email wouldn't hurt.

Once again, gratz! :banadanc

Nice job again MADDOG. I have a devious plan to score a century spot too. Further details to come later ...

Dang is it hard to give away $150.00!!!

Figured I would give this a little bump. I am itchin' to give this money away.

Think I might start adding $25.00 bucks to the offer every month just to make it interesting.

So now we are up to $175.00!! :banana

:danceman

First person to get published will get the prize and then it will drop to $50.00 again.

Thats is great but an email to send you a copy to would be greatly helpfull..
Thx,

PM me of just click on the CONTACT US link on the bottom of every webpage.

MAN!!!! I still have not given this money away!! I never knew it would be so difficult. I know....someone her is waiting for it to get up to enough to buy a new Sporty or Buell!

I guess we are now up to....

$200.00!!!!!!

Man I missed this announcement in December so I guess I will up the pot is to the maximum of $300.00!!!!

Dang I wish someone would take this money. :doh
