    It's not travel because you finish where you started.

    Not the day for it in Auckland but might go out later in the week.

    Riding during the coming lockdown

    Does anyone know for sure if it's ok to ride for pleasure in the next 4 weeks during the lockdown?
    Cheers

    from what I understand, if you are unsure whether you are allowed, it means probably not.

    I'd say.. not. You're supposed to stay inside and not go out..

    You can leave your house to:
    • Access essential services, like buying groceries, or going to a bank or pharmacy.
    • Go to work if you work for an essential service.
    • Go for a walk, or exercise and enjoy nature.

    Go for a walk, or exercise and enjoy nature. ----- "just going out for exercise in nature".... at 200kph on the empty roadddddddds" just remember though now is not the time to crash and be needing an Intensive Care bed!

    I reckon it will be because we will be maintaining the requisite "2 metre distance from another person" rule and taking care of our mental wellbeing. Plus there will be fewer vehicles on the road. Go for it

    Well bugger, that's a conundrum. I just collected my new toy today. The first KTM 390 Adventure off the delivery truck hours before the shops have to close for a month. Big, BIG thanks to Jimmy (Whitetrash) for looking after my biking obsession. Bike shops have the most amazing folks working in them- support them!

    Lets rely on the advise "go for a walk, exercise, enjoy nature" Well I think riding is enjoying nature and it's a solitary activity breathing into our helmet, not into someone's face or personal space.
    Happiness is a means of travel, not a destination

    Nice one MD! let us know how it is!!!! i'm personally holding out for the GIXXER 250 based adventure model which is in the works--- that little oil cooled engine is a peach! and cheap to build so should be 7K tops as its a lot less powerful than the competition already in the market (your 390adv! / 310GS)

    It's not.. and the police + military will be out to enforce it, we're told. I have a ID in order for me to to be able to get too and from work unmolested.

    There is already a thread about this in the Corona forum. Most posters, including me, think that riding will be OK if done sensibly. Suggest y'all read that one.

    It's a preventative lockdown, not a four week public holiday.

    If in doubt, don't. That's the guidance for going too far away from home.

    I used the word "sensibly", and nobody mentioned going a long way from home. Motorcycling sans pillion is about as solitary an activity as one can get.

    May I suggest you read the other thread?
