Today the XL Forum starts it's sixth year of bringing Sportster and Buell enthusiasts from all over the world together in order to share knowledge and information.

Thanks to all of you who have made XLF what it is today....the World largest and most popular Sportster and Buell website.

I can not count the number of great people I have met, even if only online.

I have been a member of many online forums but I can honestly say that none of them had/have members as sincere, caring and generous as the ones we have. Together we have donated over $10,000.00 to various charities and that says quite a bit about the character of our membership.

Sadly though, I have also lost many good friends without ever having the chance to meet them face to face.

A special thanks goes out to all the moderators who help to keep XLF running smooth.

I look forward to the next five years and the new friendships that I know will come along.

I think it is time for the xlf five year contest and have all the questions related to the threads here. That would be fun and for those of us that have read most of the threads it would be a good time.

I think I've been around for maybe three changes...? But I've only been here since New Years Eve '06.

Oh, how the time, it slips away...

A big thank you to all who make this forum one of my favorite places to be. Maybe some day when I meet more of you, I'll buy a beer or three for ya.
