    Careful now your blood pressure is rising....

    Having a 65ltre top box is very handy and the bike will be primary transport during this period.

    How hard is this.
    Judging by comments I've seen here and on social media it won't be long before tptb are announcing road blocks set up across the nation. Some people can't see beyond their own noses, and when you have thousands upon thousands of them there can only be one outcome.

    The comments about not going tramping so as not to involve other people in search and rescue though, are applicable to us as regards ambulance staff etc.

    Still, the rules do not say you have to go to the supermarket in a car, so ultimately the answer is yes, I'll likely be riding.

    and if you said you were going to the supermarket or getting fuel that would probably accept that but i am thinking their idea of local,and yours would differ somewhat.I reckon they would frown upon it.I discussesdthis with a builder today.He is buiding a house in a rural location,by himself .Thas alright isnt it?

    Moderators Note

    Lay off the abusive comments guys. There's enough name calling going on in other threads that's hard to stamp out without booting the entire thread, lets not let this one go the same way.

    Do some time on a cordon. For anything really, a murder, fatal, earthquake,anything. Put up some detour signs or even road closed signs.

    Then wait for everyone to turn up expecting you to provide them with a personal traffic management plan, and to give you a thousand reasons why the restriction doesnt apply to them.

    And so here we are, debating whether we will be allowed to ride our bikes for pleasure.

    Are we not in a global pandemic which has already killed thousands? Are we not in a position to try to avoid a far worse outcome?

    Grow up.

    I was wondering 'bout that too.

    I did a couple of stock-up trips - including one last night for an extra supply of Scotch - and the conditions gave me some concern.

    Given the average six day incubation period, it looks like we will know in about a week whether we have a real problem.

    Spoil sport. This place has been quiet since Skoober disappeared.

    Yes, it was critical thinking that led me to getting a pounding on KB when I dared suggest that public gatherings may not be a good idea. And here we are just a few short weeks later in lock down.
