I rode bareback too...BOTH kinds you prune!
Had a nice quarterhorse by the sea...skipped classes to ride my bike over the hills, then ride to the sea. Them were the daze...student loans so easy to get, and grants too...the administration was SO sincere. The Department of Education is still after my ass...suck scholarships sayz I.
Hey...you guys know where the word "sincere"comes from? The Latin, natch, words of "sin" meaning without...and "cere", meaning wax. To be sincere means literally to be "without wax".
In them old days when bronze castings were made there were many pits and dings and things...not all of which could be fixed properly as they didn't have welders and all theat stuff. A common practice was to fill in minor pits and holes with colored wax...which hides them pretty well...we still do that sometimes. Therefore, if a casting was really and trooly good...it was "without wax"...or SINCERE. Get it?
Sure you can ride...bareback if you want to...haven't worn a saddle myself in ages.
