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 :deal: 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!!  :laughing4:

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.

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

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.

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.

02/02/12 - RIP Glen - the Arrow of Elliot and the little man with the big heart that truly was larger than life.

You have touched us and left us better for having known you - even if it was only briefly.

For grabbing the moment and living the day It's been way too early that you were taken away

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.  :imaposer:  Other than showing our beautiful country to the couch travelers.

Ohh fook and this is not long anymore.  >:D
