Been out on a ride lately?
This is the spot to share it. Doesn't matter if it was a long-distance haul or a backroads run for coffee — if you've got a story and a photo or two, post it.
Ride reports are the heart of forums like this. They help new folks see what these bikes can do, they start conversations, and they give the rest of us something to daydream about when we're stuck at work.
Here's a loose idea of what makes a solid ride report — but don't treat this like homework. It's your story. Tell it your way.
1. Where'd you go?
Share the route, the destination, or the reason for the ride. Even if it's just "I had two hours to kill before dinner," that's enough. Set the scene.
2. What happened along the way?
Did something break? Did you find a great overlook or a gravel road you weren't expecting? That kind of stuff keeps it interesting.
3. A few photos go a long way.
Snapshots of your rig, the road, where you stopped — doesn't have to be fancy. Just show us what it looked like out there.
4. Riding solo or with friends?
Let us know. Group rides, solo clears-the-head rides, first rides with a passenger — it's all worth sharing.
5. Share what you'd do differently next time.
Bad route? Wrong tires? Forgot bug spray? Those little notes help others plan their own rides.
6. Keep it casual.
No one's expecting a magazine article. Just post it like you'd tell it to someone in your garage or at a rest stop.
And if you're still not sure what to say, post a photo and write a line or two. That's enough to start.
Looking forward to seeing where everyone's been.
