At the moment we are still allowed to travel freely ( within the country) but hotels, restaurants, bars and all meeting venues are closed. Shoping malls of more than 20,000 sq metres are closed exept for food shops. There is a general curfew between 6pm and 6 am. Some parts of southern France are looking at a weekend curfew I believe, but not where I am. We are expecting a rework of the rules next week, once the Paris region is back from half term holiday ( God forbid that the parisiens should have to forgo their february skiing trip!)

easy money. she ALWAYS throws me ? (or,so i claim. cant be lack of riding talent) I bought her some new shoes, so she is just fine Stay tuned for an upcoming Baja ride - up to about 17 bikes now. Lot of first timers going.......

Word is you can build one just like it right now using Lego® blocks.

well our 3 days of winter in SoCal have passed and we got out for a run up the best, closest motorcycle road - Hwy 33. picked the best bikes to do it on, too.

DOHC 60deg. LC V-twin.....outta character for Harley. Gotta admit though, seems like a decent lump. The rest of the bike is Fugly though.

think that's old... my wife's boss refers to her as "Fangio" ! ?

Tym has crash bars! Use that one.

I just pulled in another gig this morning from an existing client......so I thought it may be a good time to mention the Heed Bars to the wife. In retrospect, it may not have been the best time because I got the Death Stare!

round is a shape?

So if I want to go for a pic nic with one other person that's ok, BUT am I allowed to travel on my bike to get to my desired pic nic spot ???

I'll let you know, I have something coming from Poland. 3D printed handguard extenders.

It was Nigel Mansell in my day i wouldn't mind but i was in my bloody Robin Reliant the once As for Covid i think we are still waiting to hear in Wales so probably no travelling for a while yet

Tym, if the admin were to remove everyting "innapropriate" from here, we'd all be looking at a blank page...

Stirling Moss when in the car.?

Or Barry Sheen.?

Well at least we don't get called "sonny" anymore!

Nothing starting to unlock till 8th March when the schools reopen, then the next shift maybe 29 Mark when we can meet up to 6 people out doors.

fo sho. should be tons of pics. given this is AGALOS in BAJA, the stories will be "interesting"!!

A pair is two shapes, i;ll get me coat.

yep, north route has some good tarmac! Road thru Gateway is Butler gold route. Panguitch route is one of my favorite paved routes, too!

Our previous Covid thread began in September.......and it started off by speculating would there be a second wave followed by a lockdown? We now know that a second wave did come which was followed by another lockdown. Then we had a "go out and infect everybody" Xmas......followed by a third wave and another lockdown. So at the moment I'm still in the same boat as I've been in most of the time since late October.....a Perimetral Lockdown where I can't leave the town. The Andalucian government have now extended it till at least 4th March.....so I ain't going anywhere. As I understand it, some restrictions are about to be lifted in the UK (no idea about anywhere else).......so what are you allowed to do now?

Hi My name is Michelle (aka: The Grasshopper) Welcome to Grasshopper's Ride, the adventures of a mild mannered, middle-aged bookkeeper on a motorcycle. Highlighting the beautiful Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada. ------------------------------------------- Let's start with an Intro! With my bike down for repairs, I have a bit of extra time on my hands. So I have prepared a trailer for my YouTube Channel, Grasshopper's Ride. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChWHkOm8ZDUQ8XzdHkbM9ng?view_as=subscriber Have a watch, it's silly, funky and just good fun on two wheels. Have a great week everyone! I'll post other videos here for your viewing pleasure. Unless everyone starts throwing rocks at me, then I'll quietly retreat back into the forest again.....lol

Rules? I havent really slowed down any riding, been at work continously. Meals are sometimes a challenge, having used delivery services when things were extreme and no eating inside or outside of restaurants. Work allows you to work from home, if you desire. Our only rule is use some frigging common sense. If you feel bad, dont come in until tested. We've had people at work (<5) that were either exposed, or caught it. None of them have passed it on to fellow employees. What i enjoy the most is watching how internal meetings became ZOOM affairs, yet those most worried about sitting in a meeting spend their lunch hour in the same conf room! We do have those who havent seen since March 2020, but really havent missed em, if you catch my drift. The work at home vs work at work seem to be split down political party lines. strange ? During our "lockdown" i've traveled to Idaho for Thanksgiving (3 people dinner, in a restaurant), flying both ways. I've been on two long distance motorcycle rides around the western states, i've been to Baja to watch the 1000 race last November, and am about to go again for a 9 day ride. I've done weekly rides with the club. In all of the above, we've all followed commons sense rules and have yet to expose each other. 90 yr old mother went thru the Kung Flu last April, never hospitalized. Her 83 yr old husband was hospitalized and was home in 3 days. Friends who caught it over Thanksgiving either had very mild symptoms, or were bed ridden for a couple of days with a fever. Now, having said that, i've known some that have died and offer my sympathies to everyone else have had similar experiences. I do everything i can not to infect anyone, but still struggle with the reality of collapsing world economies over a strong flu version. I'm glad we are seeing a 98% survival rate.

Rules?

Think the lego one would look better

thats a ball ache

When I started it was Mike Hailwood!

I don’t think you would be stopped unless there was more than one of you, and as long as you are in your area, but some coppers are just bastards and would do their own granny so wouldn’t count on it.

So still no bike unless you're getting bread then?

Due to covid restrictions, seems everyones gone flabby, misssing in action in 2021, summer bodies....?

When he goes into town they put out a ginger gringo alert so everyone knows to stay at home.

I recon he's succumbing to peer pressure and prepping the bike to ride those gravel roads, what do you recon @boboneleg

He has a BMW GS - hope it makes it <gg>.

Bagheera is all clean now, his poor chain was so rusty, so fast with all the stuff they spray on the roads to prevent ice. ? But his chain has now been cleaned and lubed.....he is a happy guy... ?? BEFORE AFTER

I found this photo last night. A couple of years ago we're coming back up through France on back roads, we found a cafe in this small village and after a bit of very bad French and some arm waving we sat down outside to eat. We were really just wanting a snack but in true French fashion we got the full works and for only 13 euros including beer brewed on the premises, I don't have a photo of the main course or pudding but this was just the starter ?

You want a picture of my belly?

It’s made out of American steel, not Chinese tin and plastic.

Bearing With My Himalayan - Part 1 - Wheel Removal The time has come to change the front steering bearings in Bagheera, my 2019 Royal Enfield Himalayan. Bagheera has 6000km on him and that might seem early for a bearing change, but I believe the conditions I ride in can wear things out on the bike a bit faster. It's a great opportunity to learn more about my bike and as usual things never go according to plan, so this has turned into a multi-part video. In this episode we remove the wheel and share some casual garage chit-chat.

This is her on her death bed two years ago, they tried to kill her with extremely expensive medication, since then i;ve ignored all advice from Doctors who dont seem to know jack chit anymore.... She is doing fine at 89 now, God willing i;ll get some more miles out of her. Sorry for the thread drift. .

Tomorrow is an anniversary for me and it's something that I find weighing a bit heavy on my mind at the moment. It will be the 20th year since I had the accident where I lost my leg, there may be some drinking of alcohol involved .
