Adding additional info on receipts
- Thread starter BMW RT Pilot
- Start date
On a SS 1600k I did not write the odo numbers on the 7 receipts. On my 48/10, writing the odo numbers on the receipts made it a lot easier to sort out the 90+ receipts over multiple days after the fact. Having the receipts in a clear order can't hurt when a volunteer has to spend their time verifying.
On my receipts I write down the following.
Mileage
Time
Day or Night ( yea I know I can tell by the time of day )
Temperature
Weather ( rain, cloudy, fog, etc... )
I use all of this data when I create my ride log.

I think I have met my match...
You know what?- You have zero reading comprehension. I quoted two sources that state that the rider is to write the bike's odometer reading on the receipt and you can't seem to get that through your head. Also, no one forced you into this. You choose to be here.
I am not against helping the volunteers certify these rides; I have a legit question as to why the odometer reading needs to be put on the receipt when pictures showing the odometer reading (along with the receipt), are already required.

And I agree with that. I number each receipt to correspond with a particular stop, I circle the DTG on them, put it all into the log, and then photograph the numbered receipt with the bike's and the GPS' odometers showing. Was numbering them not required before and now they want the odometer reading on the receipt in order to sort through everything? I haven't been here 20 years like some have, so I am still settling in.

Seven years for me in this organization, and the 'mileage on the receipt' trick seems to be much newer than that.
Some genius before me figured out that it's a great way to identify time, place, location. Another genius after that began the picture taking trick.
I did one additional step...
The image is stamped with (home) date and time...which then ties into the log - right-hand column.
Log? Log is assembled *after* the ride is done. It took longer to review each photo and verify it was readable and crop them than it did everything else.

When I first started filling these apps out, I would put everything in a shared folder online; it would have all of the paperwork and the metadata for each picture would tell everything about it- simply clicking on the picture and looking up the data would actually pull-up a map on Google to confirm where it was taken. Apparently, other people were doing something similar, but they weren't "sharing" the folder correctly and the volunteers couldn't access the items, so word came from up high that this method was not allowed. Now, I gather all of the documents (including the photos), and put them in one PDF.
Now for the "logging" part. I bring a log sheet with me and jot in the information. I don't worry about the exact address because the receipt has it and I also pre-plan my fuel stops. The handwriting is atrocious but it's a backup to the backup to the backup. When I get home, I get another sheet and fill it out nice and neat. I don't really "race" through a stop because it gives me time to stretch the legs, eat, refill bottles, etc.
