Is the Ride Reports section dying?

[Tom van Brits]

I have tried my hand after quite an absence in the RR section now and it was actually fun. Yes I am not a @Trailrider who has inspired me in 2009 to convert to adventure bikes - ok I know, I know the NC750X is not regarded as adventure bike but I have adventure on it My English can be terrible at times as well but I want everyone to be able to read.
What I love about some RR's is that guys like Trailrider, BigOil and some more are giving you the facts and history.

Mine is simply about the moment, telling the traveler story.

Regardless, long live the RR section!!

Faark steaks, why do I even bother to write RRs?

Because its still lekker to read them when someone actually posts

I enjoy yours so please dont stop 

[Grunder]

Yes, I enjoyed your Postal Route RR very much.

I hope I said so in the end

Because I actually started reading them

to breathe some life into the old beast again and get it on an upwards curve

Because yours are among the best, if not the very best.

And otherwise we'd be reading only impossible to resolve arguments about politics, religion, global warming, pollution, overpopulation, whether to leave the country, or oil your chain, and how crap are Chinese (and German) bikes.

  ....Didn't mean to fish for compliments but the reassurance is nice, thanks everyone...

Gonna go crawl under a rock now, I'm so embarrased

Dont stop posting your RR's, @Ri
They are really good reading. Now go for a ride and then write about, I'll wait....

I personally feel that the forum is much better today without some of the very self-important people that used to be members.

If you write Ride reports for others, you'll not write them for long.

It's super nice to have plaudits and thanks, but it's a short lived thing.

Write them because you want to. In years to come, only you will go back to them and there's the true reward.

Couldn’t agree more.

Did that just yesterday with a report that my wife wrote about our tour through Swaziland and Transkei in 2009 and experienced that reward you were talking about.

There are some really top notch RRs that are on going at the moment.

That's why I went the video route. When I sit in the old age home I can watch them on the big screen with the 'kwyl' drooling from the mouth corners.    Other than showing our beautiful country to the couch travelers.

Ohh fook and this is not long anymore.

No! The past few weeks some excellent ride reports got posted. It is alive and well!

I think the turning point was that epic ride you did on the Big Boy CGL through that mud

As one who hasn't been able unfortunately to contribute much to the ride reports, I'm an avid reader and find that it's full of fascinating stuff. I occasionally add thanks or an appreciative comment and think everyone should do the same. Anything to encourage more great reports and pics.
Especially great to see our American oilman making a comeback after his brain shock.
