RE: The Coronavirus Chronicles -Three Strikes You're Out

I decided to sell my little CBR300R via my local dealer.
Now the lockdown is in place, the dealer has closed until advised they can reopen, which means they have my bike and it can't be sold so I have to just wait.
The CB1100 is on charge in the garage.

I've been working from home for a while now. This is my 4th week. My job hasn't been furloughed yet and I'm on the 'core' team to help keep the business ticking over.

I have been out cycling loads and I still see people out, flouting the rule book; idiots.....

Also, not having a 2nd bike means I have spent more time on my latest car.....a little '98 MX5/Miata which I've been tidying over time. Can't wait for the lockdown to pass so I can get out on the bike and in the car.

Stay safe everyone.

BB, I always try to be careful about forum exchanges so the other party doesn't take a question / comment in a way I didn't intend. So to be clear, I'm asking for more information, not to point out an apparent irony:

You are out cyclying and you see other people out, and obviously you are critical of "them" because they aren't following the lockdown rules, yet you are both "outside". What rules are they not heeding? Do you mean they are out walking in groups, riding motorcycles opposed to bicycles? Do you mean there are many more cars on the road than you thought there should be? Just wondering what "lockdown" means in other places and how strict rules are.

Here, I believe we're told it's ok to do outdoor exercise, but not "team based" like basketball, soccer...but hiking, biking, walks, ok. But then hiking, for example, meaning can we drive to the hiking area? I think so. But we have to check the hiking area, because some are state / city parks and they are closed to parking.

I have a decent hike in the woods that I can walk to, so I've been doing that instead of driving to more distant, preferred hiking areas.
