Re: Flash! RS Sprint chain recall

["Keith Winter" <kwinter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I thought I'd provide a little follow up to this with some additional 
information, in case anyone is still wondering if their bike is 
included.  I spoke with my dealer's service manager and found 
out that the affected bikes have VINs in the range of 098573 - 
099811.
