Wow, I got to Mention This!

No names wish I could but to protect the identity and PM's saying "Give it to me! Give it to me!"

I make videos because I like to document my rides and entertain the troops when I can. Although at times I have my drill sergeant ways of trying to motivate riders, every so often someone sees that it's motivation and not to degrade others. As mentioned, I have my style!

Well one poster kindly offered to donate a video recorder valued at $270'ish to the Beanz Video Organization while mentioning that I have motivated him to ride. He somewhat said he sees it as an investment in his own riding.

Wow Man! Sometimes I post videos wondering why I waste my time but then someone gives me words of encouragement or kudos in various forms.

My videos aren't to everyone's taste but it's nice to know some appreciate them.

Thanks Dude, but I couldn't accept something like that! You're too generous!

Hahaha! That would be nice but I couldn't.

He mentioned as a back up recorder but I already have a second Flip on Stand by. Brand new, only tested to make sure it functions properly and still in the box.

Tell him to give you a GoPro HD. Costs about the same, and takes beautiful videos.

Well sir, hopefully this will lead to you continuing to post videos into the coming months.
I know that alot of us in the northern climates tend to live vicariously through your videos during the inclimate winter months. Not to put any pressure on you

Keep rollin' and thank you.

Thanks! That's the funny thing about posting ride reports. Maybe a reply here and there but not many. I read a post by another member asking why others didn't comment on his postings. I can understand his feeling although I myself would start a rant thread about it.

But I have met several riders/members in person that thank me for the postings even though they don't say anything on the forums. One guy said his mother past away and he didn't feel like riding but my ride reports made him feel like he was out there. Things like this let you know others appreciate them. I always seem to get some kind of positive feedback just when I think others aren't watching.

The good thing is that I use them as a diary on my blog as well. So if others didn't watch, I'd make them anyway.

I like the food posts. They motivate me to celebrate a good ride with something made with tortillas. Had some killer green chili chicken enchi's last night.
