  Welcome to USR Sportster user community.

  I've already wasted about $30 in phone calls and about 8 hours of my
time trying USR to acknowledge the bug and do something about it. No such
luck.

  But I would be willing to help organise a USR Sportster user community
force, as to make USR listen. 

    see yea,
