The Sportster and Buell Motorcycle Forum Community Bulletin
For unsubscription information, please see the bottom of this email
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Man I just love riding in Autumn!! The leaves are starting to turn here in Germany and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking! I am sure that many of you are having the same where you live. The turning leaves are an awesome site but can also be very dangerous for those of us riding. Please be extra cautious when leaves are falling or covering the road. They can make the road VERY slippery.
Now that I am getting back to putting this newsletter out every week I am looking for people who might be interested in contributing to the content of this newsletter. If you would like to have your own column in this weekly newsletter please email me at bplinson@xlforum.net or send me a PM on the forum. You can have your own Tech Tip column, humor, stories, Sportster or Buell Photo layout whatever.

Joke of the Week
One night, a police officer was stalking out a particularly rowdy biker bar for possible violations of the driving-under-the-influence laws.
At closing time, he saw one of the bikers stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and try his keys on five different bikes before he found his.
Then the biker sat on a bike fumbling around several minutes, looking as if he might pass out right there. Everyone left the bar and rode off.
Finally, he started his engine and began to pull away. The police officer was waiting for him.
He stopped the biker, read him his rights and administered the Breathalyzer test. The results showed a reading of 0.0. The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be.
The biker replied, "Tonight, I'm the Designated Decoy."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
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! Remember - Freedom Isn't Free.
Have a great week!!!

DON CYCLEWEAR GROUP BUY - Leather Jacket
Don (XL Forum Member OZARK) has set up another group buy exclusively for XL Forum Members.
"I am ordering leather jackets for the fall/winter season. As promised I'm giving the forum members an opportunity to take advantage of my discount.
These jackets are quality Buffalo leather jackets with zip out liners and adjustable lace sides. These are well made jackets that typically cost about $200 or more in stores. They are available in sizes 36-66. The offer ends on 10/20/07 and the jackets will ship to you on Monday October 22, 2007 ETA Thursday October 25th. Credit cards and PayPal are accepted.
This is an ADVANCE PURCHASE buy meaning that if you do not put your order in before the deadline you will not be able to get the group buy price.
Here is the post for more information: http://www.xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/showpost.php?p=897339&postcount=28

Joke of the Week
One night, a police officer was stalking out a particularly rowdy biker bar for possible violations of the driving-under-the-influence laws.
At closing time, he saw one of the bikers stumble out of the bar, trip on the curb, and try his keys on five different bikes before he found his.
Then the biker sat on a bike fumbling around several minutes, looking as if he might pass out right there. Everyone left the bar and rode off.
Finally, he started his engine and began to pull away. The police officer was waiting for him.
He stopped the biker, read him his rights and administered the Breathalyzer test. The results showed a reading of 0.0. The puzzled officer demanded to know how that could be.
The biker replied, "Tonight, I'm the Designated Decoy."

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! Remember - Freedom Isn't Free.
Have a great week!!!
