	So here it is:  The what's, the wherefore's and the how's of the
archive.  There is a TEMPLATE file for the basic review format before the
the current index.  All I needed was an excuse :o)  Now let's have some
real reviews. 

	Thanks for asking, Neal

	=============================================

	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:

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

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

	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 before the current review
index.  For those who have Internet access but are unsure of how anonymous
FTP works, an example script is available on request.
