Loki, (I'm posting this since our outbound mail is not working well plus maybe
       it'll prompt other r.m.h readers to help keep you reading this group)

       Do you have some specific format or outline in which to prepare
       reviews or is free-form text good enough. I have some thoughts about
       my '91 XLH-1200 that other readers may be interested in sharing. Here
       in Richardson, TX (north Dallas) I have been in touch with another
       owner of the same model (Jim Combs  --- Hey Jim, you might want to
       put in your opinions on this bike.... maybe we should even collaberate
       on writing a review article for 5-speed Sportster 1200's). One of my
       fellow co-workers just bought a '93 Springer Softail which arrived
       at the dealer 9/2/92 and should be out of the dealer prep (he's getting
       a bunch of extra goodies installed) by 9/12/92. That bike would make
       great subject material for a review. BTW, the guy is CompuTrac's 
       technical documentation manager so he knows how to write professionally
       styled articles. Please stay with us for a while, r.h.m. is so very
       new and I certainly hope that specific model reviews and exchange of
       technically oriented info become a strong presence in this group's
       message traffic.

       Peace,
