Everyone have a wonderful Christmas and a joyous holiday season! Be safe!


SUPERBRACE Group buy!

There is still one more week to participate it this years SuperBrace Group Buy. SuperBrace's Christmas gift to us all is a GREAT discount on all of their braces (not just Sportsters!!).

For more info on the SuperBrace Group Buy visit the Group Buy webpage at: SuperBrace.com . But hurry because the group buy offer is only good until the end of December 2006!

Second thing, Raysheen (John) started shipping the 2007 XL Forum calenders yesterday and will ship the rest tomorrow. Those of you in the USA that ordered one or more should receive your by Christmas. The calenders being shipped overseas will take a bit longer.

A big thanks to John for putting this together and thanks to all of you who purchased!
