His name is Scott. My name is Bright. He writes books and guides people. I teach in a school. I'm on the cover of the book, not that you can tell, because of the shades and the wooly hat. I sold him the picture for a 1-off fee. I repeat, on my website I'm not selling anything, unless you include a 2002 Suzuki DRZ400S that's standing in the garage (This has nothing to do with the discussion though and isn't advertised on the site, but can be seen here: Iceland TBSdotCom One careful lady owner, never been off road, mint condition etc).

Having a link to a website (either from HU to mine, or from mine to Adventure Motorcycling ~ the website of the Adventure Motorcycling Handbook ) can hardly be construed as "selling". Just ran a google search on "define selling" and the top hit was "the exchange of goods for an agreed sum of money". I pay no money to Grant, Chris Scott pays no money to me for any links or book sales.

My own opinion on the whole RR vs blog vs website thing is "whatever floats your boat". My own boat is floated by good (IMO) websites in general and the labour of love that is my site. Some RRs are good (e.g Striking Viking, Moto Syberia). Most however are complete and utter boll*cks (Badly composed images, boring subjects, even worse words with horrendous vocabulary and grammar: The teacher in me coming out). Most blogs I read are mind numbing as sh*t (I got up at 9, had breakfast at 10, rode my bike at 11, took a dump at 12 etc etc). Hence I don't read them any more. But, each to their own.

I take on board the comments about putting up a few taster pictures/words before a link to a website. Next time I get round to it, I'll do that.

cheers
Chris
PS. You can tell me and Mr Scott apart. I'm more handsome than him. At least, that's what the wife says. She's blind and walks with a limp and has a hairy chin
