$username,
The weather is great over here in Germany and I am still awaiting a special tool to finish my chain conversion!
XL Forum Member Frapper came over yesterday to see if he and I could figure any way to get the front sprocket off without the special tool but even he could not think of anything.
Oh well...the tool should be here this week and I should be back in the saddle before the next weekend...and it will probably rain!
FEATURED SPORTSTER/BUELL WEBSITE OF THE WEEK
I am gonna start a featuring a personal Sportster or Buell website every week so if you would like to see yours here email me the URL to bplinson@xlforum.net
The first personal Sportster website to be featured is from XL Forum Member flskevin and the name of the website is Kevin's Sportster. It is nicely designed and has many great photos.

BIKER SAFETY TIP OF THE WEEK
QUICK TIPS: General Guidelines For Riding A Motorcycle Safely from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation
Apply effective mental strategies:
• Constantly search the road for changing conditions.
• Give yourself space and time to respond to other motorists’ actions.
• Give other motorists time and space to respond to you.
• Use lane positioning to be seen; ride in the part of a lane where you are most visible.
• Watch for turning vehicles.
• Signal your next move in advance.
• Avoid weaving between lanes.
• Pretend you’re invisible, and ride extra defensively.
• Don't ride when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
• Know and follow the rules of the road.
• Stick to the speed limit.

JOKE OF THE WEEK
How all Army policy begins...
Start with a cage containing five apes. In the cage, hang a banana on a string and put stairs under it. Before long, an ape will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the Banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the apes with cold water. After a while, another ape makes an attempt with the same result - all the apes are sprayed with cold water.
Continue until, when another ape tries to climb the stairs, the other apes try to prevent it.
Now, turn off the cold water.
Now, remove one ape from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new ape sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his horror, all of the other apes attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.
Next, remove another of the original five apes and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.
Again, replace a third original ape with a new one. The new one makes it to the stairs and is attacked as well. Two of the four apes that beat him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs, or why they are participating in the beating of the newest ape.
After replacing the fourth and fifth original apes, all the apes which have been sprayed with cold water have been replaced. Nevertheless, no ape ever again approaches the stairs. Why not?
"Because that's the way it's always been around here."
That's how Army policy begins...
PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS
Lastly, but most important, I ask each one of you that can, to support your local Patriot Guard Riders. Visit www.patriotguard.org. Together we are making a real difference!
