IN-KY XL/V2 Forum Miracle Run seeks donations!
Message from Pquirk
"As many of you know the Indiana and Kentucky contingent of the XL and V2 Forums have our annual run scheduled for the first weekend in June. This year, in addition to the requisite riding and revelry, we are also raising money that will be donated in the name of the forums to the Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. Riley Hospital not only provides world-class medical care to children throughout the region, but also supports initiatives that bolster basic and clinical research that can help children everywhere.
We are inviting you to join us in making a difference by donating to this cause. To further our efforts and demonstrate his support, Bert has made an initial donation of $100 to prime the pump. If you would like to help please click this link or copy copy this URL http://mypage.iu.edu/~pquirk/inkypage1.html to learn more about the Riley Hospital, the IN-KY Run, and how to donate. If you're in the region (or even if you're not) there is also information on how to join us."

American Motorcycle Association - Vintage Motorcycle Days 27 - 29 July in Lexington Ohio
Hey all! Don't forget about the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days on 27 - 29 July in Lexington Ohio.
The Sportster will be honored this year and the AMA is looking for Sportster owners who would like to participate in the many Sportster related events. All paid attendees with a Sportster will pay nothing to put their Sportster into the "Sportster Corral" which will be a special SPORTSTER ONLY parking area.
If enough XL Forum members register in advance they have also promised to mark off a special XL Forum area.
This is THE Sportster event of the century and will probably not occur again for 25 to 50 years.
Be sure to RSVP on the XL Forum calendar to indicate which days you plan to attend. This way those of you who will be attending on the same days can meet up and have a mini XL Forum meet.
Friday - 27 July 2007 http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=91&day=2007-7-27&c=1
Saturday - 28 July 2007 http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=91&day=2007-7-28&c=1
Sunday - 29 July 2007 http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=91&day=2007-7-29&c=1
More info on the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days can be found here: http://www.amadirectlink.com/vmd/2007/home.asp . You can also pre-register here.
Here is a note from Will Stoner from the American Motorcyclist Association.
"I strongly encourage all listers (all Sportster owners for that matter) to bring their Sportsters, K models and XR750s to AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days July 27-29, 2007 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio and display it in the “Sportster Corral”, even if we do not select the bike for the Sportster Museum Tent. I'm not a Sportster expert, but your bike sounds rare, thus making it more likely to be selected for the Museum Tent.
Participation in the Sportster Corral will be free to all paid attendees with a Sportster, XR or K model Harley-Davidson. Participants are requested to register in advance, but it is not required.
A select group of the most significant pre-registered machines will be featured in the Sportster “Museum" tent. All participants will receive a special “dash plaque” commemorating the event and other benefits exclusive to corral and rally participants.
Additionally, we will be presenting a Sportster Rally that will feature special benefits and attractions for rally participants, including: A special rally and camping area in the Infield, access to the exclusive Mid-Ohio Deck viewing area, T shirt and a special autograph session with the 2007 VMD Grand Marshals Willie G. Davidson and Jay Springsteen. More specific benefits to follow. All Sportster, K model and XR clubs and groups are also welcome to participate. There will be an extra charge for the Sportster rally."
XL CLASSIFIEDS
Remember to check out the XL CLASSIFIEDS section which is full of great parts that other XL Forum members have for sale. You could save quite a lot on a parts or services that you have been searching for. Also check out the PARTS WANTED section. You might have something that someone else needs.

Hey all! Don't forget about the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days on 27 - 29 July in Lexington Ohio.
The Sportster will be honored this year and the AMA is looking for Sportster owners who would like to participate in the many Sportster related events.

This is THE Sportster event of the century and will probably not occur again for 25 to 50 years.

More info on the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days can be found here: http://www.amadirectlink.com/vmd/2007/home.asp . You can also pre-register here.
Here is a note from Will Stoner from the American Motorcyclist Association.
"I strongly encourage all listers (all Sportster owners for that matter) to bring their Sportsters, K models and XR750s to AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days July 27-29, 2007 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio and display it in the “Sportster Corral”, even if we do not select the bike for the Sportster Museum Tent. I'm not a Sportster expert, but your bike sounds rare, thus making it more likely to be selected for the Museum Tent.
Participation in the Sportster Corral will be free to all paid attendees with a Sportster, XR or K model Harley-Davidson. Participants are requested to register in advance, but it is not required.
A select group of the most significant pre-registered machines will be featured in the Sportster “Museum" tent. All participants will receive a special “dash plaque” commemorating the event and other benefits exclusive to corral and rally participants.
Additionally, we will be presenting a Sportster Rally that will feature special benefits and attractions for rally participants, including: A special rally and camping area in the Infield, access to the exclusive Mid-Ohio Deck viewing area, T shirt and a special autograph session with the 2007 VMD Grand Marshals Willie G. Davidson and Jay Springsteen. More specific benefits to follow. All Sportster, K model and XR clubs and groups are also welcome to participate. There will be an extra charge for the Sportster rally."
