Thoroughly enjoyed the threads making it possible for many to get a "feel" for the essensce of an oulde iron steed, and how to attain the physical and spiritual balance the timeline velos deserve. The compilation could be woven into a "cool" little pamphlet if someone had the time. It could be added to the archive for reference. These are the slick little details that never get documented and therefore lost to the future. Like: How many of you know that the turn of the century old timers put a little moonstone under their tongues to keep moisture in their mouths while riding? The devil is in the details. What fun!
