	Yup.  The RMR Archives has a few pieces of H-D trivia which
are invaluable to the uninitiated.  I've included the standard Archive
blurb below.

	I'm still waiting for a review of a Harley.  Any Harley.  I suppose
you guys are too busy enjoying your rides to write them up but... really!

	The Rec.Motorcycles.Reviews Archives (and World Famous Llama
Emporium) contains a Veritable Plethora (tm) of bike (and accessories)
reviews, written by rec.moto readers based on their own experiences.
These invaluable gems of opinion (highly valued for their potential to
reduce noise on the list) can be accessed via anonymous FTP, Email
server or by personal request.  A number of motorcycle images are 
also available on a more casual basis (access is limited to between
20h00 and 08h00; other times are possible on an individual basis).

Anonymous FTP:			ftp.physics.mcgill.ca (132.206.9.13)
					under ~ftp/pub/Rec.Moto
Email archive server:		rm-reviews@ftp.physics.mcgill.ca
Review submissions/questions:	rm-reviews@physics.mcgill.ca

NOTE: There is a difference in the addresses for review submission
      and using the Email archive server (ie. an "ftp.").

To get started with the Email server, send an Email message with a line
containing only "send help".  

NOTE: If your return address appears like
	domain!subdomain!host!username
      in your mail header, include a line like (or something similar)
	path username@host.subdomain.domain 

	If you are interested in submitting a review of a bike that you
already own(ed), PLEASE DO!  There is a template of the format that the
reviews are kept in (more or less) included below.  For those who have
Internet access but are unsure of how anonymous FTP works, an example
script is available on request.
