Hey All,

We decided we should have a specific forum dedicated to the pandemic.

This will be for the dissemination of important information to our community.

Dr SLO and Snaggy have graciously accepted the task of leading this effort and I know we all appreciate his effort in this.

The problem is his information is convoluted with multiple other items and often can be easy to miss.


I have reached out to a few other medical professionals here to offer them to join in.

These are unprecedented times and since we are a community I felt this was a good thing to do. Provide a resource for YOU to find good information that affect you and your families.

As part of this we are also closing the Group ride and Social Gathering forums until the SIP order has been redacted. Our Covid 19 riding protocols are here .
UPDATED 4.28.20

This is the time for Americans to step up and realize that their personal freedom does not mean that we should be allowed to do as we wish with the freedoms granted in the USA. It is time to look at the bigger picture for the good of all Americans and the world. Please take a moment to think about your motorcycle life while we try to defeat this virus.

I hope you all find this forum useful.

I am sending my best to our members and family during these difficult times.

We will ride again. :thumbup

Links to stuff

This virus has hit us hard.
It first popped up here as a subject in January. I think we all thought wow.... China is screwed!! Then when it got bad we still really did not get that it was headed here. The last few months have been historical in so many ways. Nothing in our life time has affected 80-90% of humans on the planet like this has.

Being a SIP citizen sharing this reality with you has been good for me.
Something to do and a responsibility to think through. A responsibility to this community but more so to my fellow citizens and to humanity.

I accept that I will pay a big price to do that. I just hope it stays a fiscal price and not one that carves deep in terms of human loss. Many of us are taking it on the chin and for many it has been a punch to the gut.

Of course this is a hot topic. I collected a few links on different subjects for both info to you and for historical reasons. There are quite a few more. I left political forum threads out of course.

I will probably add more as we work our way through this.
I believe we will and this could be a good reset for humanity if we are smart enough to apply a lot of what we have had to do. Its affect on how we do business, appreciate life in general and more importantly our planet hopefully will be captured. I do believe this is our opportunity to reset.

We issued our thoughts on riding during the pandemic.
BARF Covid 19 Riding Protocols

We saw community reach out.
Quarantine Assistance Needed Thread

And more...

The dominant thread where much good information and debate has taken place. It is where Dr_SLO began delivering a knowledgeable and steady voice.

It is the biggest banter thread with lots of good info — headed to best of BARF at some point. It will be historical at some point.
