The Coronavirus Chronicles -Three Strikes You're Out

[Stichill_imp]

I haven't touch my bike since my country announced movement control order. Working in the food industry which are allowed to continue to work, i have been driving to work everyday since day 1 of the Order. Most bikers here stop riding for the sake of others.
The success or failure of the Order will depends on everyone cooperation. Military were deployed after 1 weeks of only 60% compliance... And the numbers of infected patients is growing by day. Government even reach out to private hospital to loan ventilators. And some hospital emergency units were temporary shut down due to visit by patients who are infected, whom them self are not aware.
I had tried practice social distancing everyday and there will be some idiots who will just bump into you while they move.. Some might felt the movement control order are in-humane or violate the basic human rights, I guess its all depends on if the person is self centered or community centered.

Such once in a life time chance of "being a hero by just staying home" doesn't come by often. So why not, just stay at home and be a hero, unless you are needed elsewhere as a hero.

I guess I fit in the curve of still riding because I feel safer riding alone than anywhere else. I teach school and cannot go to work, only post help for assignments I left at school. In south Texas, the numbers are rising and I believe are a lot worse than the govt will say. Not enough testing here, and we are going to get caught in the upswing of the curve I'm afraid. Riding alone out in the open country, Texas has a lot of it, I do not feel threatened by man or disease. I pray we all come through okay, since many of us are in the older half of the spectrum.

Yes! Love this.

great looking bike, Stichill, and love what you did to your pants!

Thanks! I have this CRF230F and a CRF150F as well. I like them both just about equally and can never decide which one to ride. I call this "pasture riding" and at this time of year, the soil is pretty soggy and the tires throw quite a bit of watery mud!
