I've ridden a motorbike for 15 years and this is the first I've heard of roll charts!

Prior to phones, I would just scrawl my notes onto a sheet of A5 and tape it to the top of the tank. It didn't work well when it was raining.

I'm just starting out onto a motorbike and this is a stupidly brilliant idea, and I do have a 2.5" IBM receipt printer...

It's most common in the dual sport community. I ride dual sport rides here on the west coast that still provide roll charts as their primary routing.

I don't know if "Enduro" is still a thing, but roll charts were everywhere with that. Ones like these... https://www.john-stichnoth.com/sitebuilder/images/RollChartS...

Yeah, those are the ones I meant!! I think they were recently taken away from the Dakar and replaced with screens
