Title: Ride/Trip report section Post by: bryant8 on September 11, 2008, 11:50:06 AM I love reading ride reports from all the different people on the board.
Any way there can be a board dedicated to posting up special rides and trips that people take? It's fun to go back and read other people stories on the road.

It's fun to go back and read other people stories on the road. Start making a list of links to populate the new board. ;D Title: Re: Ride/Trip report section Post by: Spidey on September 11, 2008, 04:59:25 PM My two cents: I like and have always liked them in General. It's general motorcycle interest and keeps us all warm and IZ_ about riding. Otherwise, all the General threads are either threads of people being snark to each other or threads taht should be moved into a more specific section. They set an important tone that--in my mind--is important to have in the main (i.e. General) forum.
I'm also wary about too many boards. It segregates the forum. Personally, I already think there are too many visibile boards on the main page. It gets distracting. I vote for KISS.

Keeping the ride reports together makes them easier to access. I'm in the process of planning a big trip with some buddies and would like to read more experience of others on the road. Maybe just a sub section on the GMF Title: Re: Ride/Trip report section Post by: bryant8 on September 12, 2008, 09:04:04 AM A few of the trips that folks have taken in the last few months since the split

The ride reports is my most frequented area at ADV and it's nice to be able to just hit that forum as opposed to wading through pages of General = what exhaust, dropped my bike, etc posts to get to them. my .02
I do see value though in Spidey's point of not diluting the site with too many sub forums. Title: Re: Ride/Trip report section Post by: bryant8 on September 19, 2008, 02:04:43 PM Any more thoughts on this one?

Who won the duel?Title: Re: Ride/Trip report section Post by: bryant8 on September 22, 2008, 08:12:20 AM Not sure who won the duel... or if I showed up to the right place for it [laugh]
I'll leave the decisions up to you flounders [thumbsup] Title: Re: Ride/Trip report section Post by: bryant8 on September 26, 2008, 09:07:16 AM Mind if I put a poll up in GMF about the ride report section to see people will actually use it?
