I’m commuting to work on mine so at least I’m able to be giving the 3 roadworthy bikes a run out at least once a week each.

It’s the only benefit of being a key worker at the moment.

I have managed to get materials for the first time in 4 weeks so I'm back to work tomorrow.
After being ill for the first 2 weeks the remaining 2 passed far to fast.
I still can't use work as an excuse to use the bikes as I need to take the truck and scaffolding   :'(

In the last week.
I have been out on my 750k1,T500,Tdr250,Cb175,Cd175a
And Ke100. All been through the Trough of Bowland.
Wear work clothes & rucksack. Try to look like you're not enjoying yourself. Keep away from the obvious places.
And nobody will bother you.
Doing what a am told. Never has been my strong suit.

There are loads of lanes near me that all the local bikers use so panda cars aplenty.
Not a bad thing though as last week there were loads of cars and bikes out giving it the beans

Well done Dennis, I bet that felt great.
It certainly did, hope to get some more riding time in when permitted, when I was out I automatically headed for the A550 Welsh road, but realised that was not a good idea and turned around.

Cheers

Been out today on the 750F2 only did about 20 miles but it was great. Covidiot. Had to laugh, was waiting at traffic lights and a bike cop went through. He slowed right down and I thought he was going to pull me. But he just had a good look and gave me the thumbs up. Probably another classic biker in his off duty world.

The only excuse I have to use any of my bikes is the 1.5 mile trip to see my 94 year old mum.... so I make the most of it. And of course i have to clean and polish in between trips. Currently I’m swapping between the CB and the RD 😎

 Your bikes look really nice Rob, the Honda very shiny, you must spend all your time polishing. I notice double padlocks on your garage doors, you can never be over cautious.

Thanks Adrian. The photo’s always hide the minor issues like scratches in the paint or pitting on the CB’s original chrome..but they are nice tidy “riders”.. not show winners.  Yes triple padlocks actually..but it is impossible to beat the determined thief.

That explains why Whitby was empty all weekend if they were turning folks around and sending them home. Not that I was there I looked at the web cams.
