    I don't think JATZ is as delicate as you Bozzos.

    Its simple you want loved ones and friends to die? - go right ahead be a dick. You want as few kiwis as possible to die then relax at home for four weeks. If you not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. The only way this virus gets spread around is by people. Stay at home. Essential travel only. Observe the rules and we'll get thru this as quickly as possible.
    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

    You do understand how a virus is transmitted? Certainly a solo rider doing a round trip will not pass it on. Seems we are no allowed to visit our perants. Not to confirm that though. I so a trip over to Hastings could be in the near future. Via back roads of course....

    its all good in theory i agree,but its all over the news not to go hunting,tramping fishing etc .I was seriously considering loading up the 4wd and going to a remote camping spot for a few days.
    I think they are keeping simple.DONT GO OUT,means just that regardless of our perceived threat level.

    The police should be alerted to be on the lookout for a motorcyclist breaking the lock down rules on those back roads. Won't be hard for them to spot. Snowflakes are rare in March

    @ Bonez...
    Re read your signature line. What if this time you lose ?

    You may be fine. But what if Steve down the road sees you and decides to go out too. He calls his mate Dave and convinces him to come, just for a quick blast to the beach. Dave stops for gas and doesn't wear gloves when filling up. They get to the beach OK and stop for a smoke. Dave wipes his nose because it's been a bit cold and there's been a bit of leakage, then hands Steve a beer from his backpack. They then head home to wives and kids (kids who have been sneakily playing with the neighbors kids and all is good with the world, they lived to tell the tale.

    Or did they ?

    Next week there's a community outbreak in their hood. The lock down now stretches out to 8 weeks. More financial hurdles for small businesses, even McDonald's is sent into financial ruin. Which snowballs into the States, their economy collapses and India becomes the new world financial powerhouse. Taking over the world and not just one diary at a time. Before you know it fried chicken and chips is our national dish and we all have a statue of Vishnu in the lounge to worship.

    You go ahead and go for your ride, it's gonna be fine

    Originally it would have differed, as would have Rastuscat's and others as were posted in the other thread. As with everything involved with this virus, the situation changes quickly and the horizons have shrunk considerably.

    Not actually doing it now. Was only half serious anyway. Hopefully you are just having a laugh too. If not then my prior post applies.

    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.
    its actually amazing how many people believe that a road closed sign does not apply to them, I have been nearly run over (to the point of having to dive in to the flaxes to get out of the way), I have been abused, I have been threatened, I have had people try to squeeze between vehicles used to block roads and the try the old "oh i didn't realize the road was closed", then there are the reporters, wow some of the shit they try is amazing.
    Had one guy get abusive with me not very long ago that i made take the detour even tho i knew the road was going to be opened in a few minutes, the detour was an extra half hour, that was satisfying.

    It's one of the pleasures of the job.
