Fed up of the lockdown?

Post by barney01 »

Take a virtual ride on the Denbigh Moors on a 550J which was recorded just before the lockdown

Just watched it Barney. Lovely area of Wales. Your bike sounds in fine fettle. I managed one ride on my 550 about 10 days ago. So it's now done 30 miles on the second time around rebuilt engine. All good so far :)

Thanks for that Barney, really enjoyed that "next best thing" to a proper ride. After a long winters hibernation it's frustrating that we can't legally get out now for a fun ride, but a good reminder of all the hazards that a biker faces every time we go out. From muddy roads and flooded surfaces, to tractors (nice overtake) and cars coming round bends on the wrong side of the road, makes you realise how on the ball we need to be. Hopefully this scary virus episode will be over soon and the world can get back to some kind of normal. :(
Look, my paintwork hasn't got "Fish scales" :x they're "Dragon scales" right!!! However, after some thought, I will accept "Black Marlin" or "Swordfish", but definitely not "Haddock" or "Cod".

Anyone know who the three bikers are, who were stopped by the police on the A18 near Humberside airport in Lincolnshire today?
They were given a warning and told to go home after breaking the lockdown rules.
We have been warned. :?
