- Just ignore any shipping dates that USR gives you, I've become
- fairly convinced that they just make up dates even though they have no
- intention of shipping stuff then. Basically the chip will get there when
- it gets there. In any case, the first 33.6 chips for old model Sportsters
- seem to have just started shipping a few weeks ago. Since they've been
- availible since the start of Nov., I suspect USR has quite a big backlog
- of orders, so don't hold your breath..
