- I just talked with the sales reps at USR and one of the differences
- they claim between the sportster and the courier line is that the
- courier will renegotiate to higher speeds (fall-forward), while the
- sportster WILL NOT. I don't know what documentation you were reading,
- but what you stated was not is not consistent with what USR is claiming,
- and what I read in a flier from the company.
