Bedouin belongs on this list also, If the reasons for that are not obvious then let me say.
1. He's a true diplomat in being able to give us a Europeon view of many of the non-bike topics discussed here.Without coming accross as anti-American.He knows our soft spots and
is able to make his point without deliberatly touching them.
And at the same time not compromising his own views.
2.His English is better than mine.
3. He posts some darn (there goes that filter again) good
pictures of some realy cool places that I can safly say I
will never see in person.
