Seriously ? Why would you ?
Take this seriously plz. At this stage it's only 4 weeks of your life. Find something else to do.

It's difficult to be more isolated than if you're out on a solo ride. I usually go for a walk in Cornwall Park but I'm expecting it to be crowded and difficult to maintain the 2 metre separation. And I expect people will ignore what they've been told and meet up with friends.
Not sure what I'll do - I may take the opportunity to do some work on the bike.

I'm sure it is fine Pritch, under normal circumstances. But this is not normal. Go for it if you must, but don't be surprised if 4 weeks turns into 6 because someone thought it'd be all good to just do something they thought was harmless.
Great comeback.
Staying at home by yourself is more solitary than riding. For me riding is not essential to my existence, hence not required for next 4 weeks. You want to go for it, just remember why UK and Australia are now going down the path of severe lockdowns. At the end of the day, I am only responsible for my own actions but I am mature enough to know that my actions can impact others.
I doubt I will be riding the motorbike but the "exercise" clearly means I can do a few hot laps of the Port hills on my ebike.

Short test runs only, if (big if) I can get the 900SS back together. Otherwise I'm staying home for the duration.
Japanese research showed that motorcycle riding is good mental excercise and is effective in preventing the decline associated with old age.
Dunno how you work that out. I live in the middle of a quarter acre section but there are houses just a few feet (or inches?) either side of the boundary. On the bike there might be nobody for bloody miles.
Do you do night shifts? Anybody can go to the supermarket and the government doesn't tell you which supermarket. If the fish factory at the port is open that would entail a trip right across town.
Anyhoo I wish y'all all the best and I trust that those of you who are locked in with teens can avoid murdering them

Yeah the overriding message appears to be "stay at home". Will be interesting to see what level of enforcement is coming, I suspect those of us in the cities will be running the gauntlet of patrols, checkpoints etc (even without the pandemic situation there will be a lot of empty commercial premises with a lot of valuable stuff just sitting there), those living rurally can probably fill your boots – at a 2 metre distance, of course, and on the understanding that if you do encounter the authorities and fail the "essential" travel/attitude test, heavy fines may be involved.
It occurs to me that the perfect breeding ground for any virus would be several days of having supermarket/DIY/Booze/Gun shops full of people panic buying.

I've just been out and the radar detector was going nuts for a lot of the time. Plod everywhere and they are handing out tickets like people wanting bog-rolls.
On Sunday a mate got a ticket, but the bitch wouldn't get close to him, just got his licence at arm's length then ran away to her car with it. Came back with "ticket will be posted to you".
I asked whether or not he had licked his licence before handing it over to her...

I got a good 3hr ride in today and got to ride past Harawiras militant ensemble. It didn't last long, I think the cops fucked them all off but no doubt it will be on te news tonight. I will laugh tho if the media take a leaf out of Jacindas book and just ignore them!
prob not much riding in the future tho...

Looks like "aimless" or "for recreation" motorcycle riding (even by yourself) is off the menu during the lockdown.
That is unless you are going to your local supermarket or doctor/hospital.
Shit doesn't just happen; there's usually an arsehole involved.
