    Long, Reg, and Derstuka on a dirty ride to Borrego Springs CA.

    How bout if the rest of you have some fun with these photos and provide the captions...

    Build your own rid3 report. Here's where Reg will send the pics as it happens but you have to upload them to vfrw and go from there: https://db.tt/E8mWl1aT

    I was consoling the dinosaur because apparently someone had raped him not long ago.

    Eyez be home. Just got done unloading my truck, cleaning the XR, changing the oil, cleaning the air filter, lubing the chain, etc. What a blast we had this weekend! Thanks for rollin' south Reg and allowing us to show you some of our local desert.....also thanks to my BFF Long Dong for coming out to join us even though he is not fully healed. You rode well considering, and even tumbled well in your get offs. I bow in your honor boss :hail:
    Maybe next time you will not be so gassy...I mean, c'mon boss, you trying to kill us?
    Long all thru the night >>:kaboom: :kaboom:

    Long has many more pictures (as does Reg) that will be uploaded later at some point. I may even have some as well.

    Thanks to tink for being our thread and picture bitch...we appreciate it. Reg was trying an experiment to (based on Joey's comment) have a "live" trip report to generate more interest and more people commenting....as our other long trip reports just don't seem to generate the love. Hmmmmmmm...looks like just the three amigos and tink commenting so far. :lol:

    Don't be shy fellas. :behindsofa:

    Just some constructive feedback it would've been nice to have some anecdotes as the days went on instead of just putting pictures and calling it a day. For example, what was going on with Long's gassy situation? What kind of stuff did you see? How did you get there? Any funny characters you encountered on the way?

    Despite that even though I like the ride reports I seem to be the minority. I don't think it's anyone's fault that the ride reports don't have many comments; it's just that this site isn't as active as it used to be. I don't even see any group rides in my area. There used to be a cabin rental event every year, what happened to that? And even when I drive up to the old motorcycle stomping grounds I just don't see as many people as I used to. It doesn't help that USA went through a rough economic time and people are having to sell their bikes to put food on the table.

    The thought as I understood it was to let the peanut gallery have their way with the photos. I was a little busy myself building a basement organizer to contribute my own wise cracks.

    My opinion and what I've observed is when there's more buildup to the actual ride, then there's more commenting during the ride.
    http://vfrworld.com/forums/showthread.php/43530-Rip-Roar-n-Reggie-Ready-to-Retrieve-Ride-or-R6!

    I think a lot of forums are slow at the moment; the local sportbike forum is completely dead and the Rockies section of ADVrider is slower than usual.
