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.

not a bad idea....
Start making a list of links to populate the new board. ;D
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.

also valid points....
I think you two should duel at dawn.... ;D
Good points Spidey [thumbsup]
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
A few of the trips that folks have taken in the last few months since the split

+1. 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.
Any more thoughts on this one?
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]
Mind if I put a poll up in GMF about the ride report section to see people will actually use it?
