So no riding for me for the next 3 weeks. I use the cage for 'essential' (meaning grocery) trips.

 

[sill'r B sill'd]

Wow. I wonder if these orders will trickle down to areas like SLO county.

 

[bunnygoat]

Go ride your fucking bike. I'm not hiding inside for 3 weeks.

 

[XPEHBAM]

avoid places where people congregate and you should be fine riding your bike, imho

 

[Evolution Moto]

We are still able to service them if you are still out riding them. We will continue to do so until the government amends the exemptions.

 

[Pushrod]

Well. . . there goes the Furry convention.

and
From the FAQ above page 9 line 1:

Can I leave home to exercise?
If you will be both outdoors and not in close contact with other people, yes. Otherwise, no. Fitness and exercise gyms are not permitted to operate.

I become anxious when cooped up in my house. Am I allowed to go to a park or on a hike ? Can I travel to a County park or open space?
Yes. Spending time outside improves mood and well-being, and is particularly beneficial to children. You can go for walks, go to the park, and engage in other similar activities, but should maintain social distance (i.e. be more than six feet away from persons who are not part of your household) when on walks and in parks to avoid spread of the virus.

Rode into work today, 37° out! Still a lot more traffic than I expected, it was moving fast but still a lot of cars out on hwy 24.

Mental health has to be an issue too.

Those weekly area newspapers promoting active fun lifestyles, here in SLO county, The New Times.

So much advertising for everything fun events, any social gatherings, gone.

This bioterrorism has taken the color out of my future. All the flowers popping now, spring in the air, my future, is gray now with black on the horizon.

I feel the need for a rip up the coast.

SLO county closed all bars in SLO county until Wed morning.
Happy St Paddy's day, , ,

Like Butch says, 10.a.iii allows outdoor activities, the way I read it is if you go for a solo ride, you should not get in trouble. Even if you go with a couple people and maintain 6ft distance you should be fine. This is not a forced quarantine in home order. Am I reading this incorrectly?

 

[Gary856]

Sec 10.a.iii (outdoor activities allowed) may appear to contradict Sec 5 (Travel prohibited); however, to make sense of this, I think the intent of Sec 10.a.iii is for individual outdoor physical activities (exercise), not travel. I don't want to argue the logic of whether solo Moto travel is good or bad now, but I don't see specific exemption for motorcycling joy rides (dirt or street) in 10.a.iii.

If you crash you're most certainly catching it from your interactions with first responders, tow truck drivers, random strangers that come to help, etc. Don't crash.

Good point... looks like this is done so you can walk around the neighborhood and the local park and nothing else. It's going to be a long sad recovery from this :thumbdown

strap a can of dog food to the back of your bike and boom - you're now carrying an essential good :afm199

How about STFU, don't be a selfish little cunt and sit your fucking ass home for a few weeks instead of looking for loopholes to get around this order???! It won't kill ya to chill the fuck out for a few weeks, this is not a game, billions of people around the world are trying to work together to end a global pandemic. Some people... :rolleyes

China's first lock down was voluntary and you see what happened when they didn't listen.

If you crash you're most certainly catching it from your interactions with first responders, tow truck drivers, random strangers that come to help, etc. Don't crash.

More importantly stop being selfish. This is a time to listen and stay put. You need to get out? Walk around the block. Your bike will be there when this is all over. If anything clean it, fix it, baby it for the sweet first ride.

I've given up most stuff as I'm the support chain for my parents. If I get sick they can't rely on me for support. I'm also the support chain for my brother's kids as he is a firefighter and most likely will get it. That means everything I do should be thought out and planned. Going outside for a spin could mean someone in my family may die or be displaced.

 

[Mario]

I don't think anyone here is looking to go around a rule, more of understanding a part of the rule that states that outdoors activities are allowed. National parks have published they are still open. Track providers are still saying their events are still up. So make it clear: are we at a complete lock down or not?

Regardless, yes I get your point. Venturing out will make you run into people, you will have to handle the gas nozzle, etc. The right thing to do is to stay home for the sake of everyone.

QFT.

This is how pandemics spread, not end. Fucking selfish ass fucking people.

 

[Whodat]

As much as I want to say fuck em and go ride I think I'll stay home.

 

[budman]

Yeah.... my wife has me on lockdown.

Go against the other half.. Not a good call.

So for now.. no new tires.. no rides. Ride this shit out!
