Tyr is for sale

2000-10-27 Thread Mike Casey Rogillio
This message is from: Mike Casey Rogillio [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is with great regret that I offer Tyr for sale. I'd promised myself a year + ago that I'd give him time, that I'd ride him, that surely he would get more forward and not be slow. I believe someone on the list said it a year ago

Congratulations to Bridgit and Jack!
