Bikers refusing to follow "All but essential travel&quo

[gwernybwch]

Today Mid Wales has sounded a motorbike race track. The number of bikes on the road has been something akin to a Spring bank holiday.

So why are so many bikers not adhering to Government advice?
The first day of spring? Likely last chance to get on the bike for several weeks?
A dislike of being told what to do?

Or just they don't give a damn about anybody else than themselves?

so where exactly did you go today ?

Probably something to do with the advice being to socially isolate, not stay indoors at all costs. There are no travel restrictions.

In fact the government has specifically said that pleasure riding is still OK.

And just remember folks, when you join all the other morons at the petrol stations, thousands of people have touched that pump handle, door, card machine terminal.

You brought your antibacterial wipes didn’t you?

It’s not the going out that’s the problem, it’s that it’s nigh on impossible at some stage to not touch something touched by others, or to stay 2M apart when queueing.

You aren't going to transmit or catch a virus while riding a solo motorcycle.

Only if you stop and interact with people/places. So the only real risk area is a fuel stop. Pay at pump kind of takes care of that, don't even need to take your gloves and helmet off. Wash hands when you get home. Done.

Ferry services to the Scottish Isles are not allowing travel to non-island residents effective tonight. Essential travel for residents and cargo only. Hopefully, that'll keep the idiots out.

The usual invasion of tourists via liners is also cancelled. This is excellent news as we're one of the only counties with zero confirmed COVID cases so far.

It was also the sunniest and most pleasant day we have had so far this year. No surprise the motorcyclists took advantage
of that given they may end up imprisoned in their own homes for months on end pretty soon.

Anyone who is out for pleasure purposes are just tools,
Why are so many telling us to stay home if its ok to go out for the day on ya jollies,
Im ok Jack attitude is fine, but what if you come off ya bike and you have the virus but don`t know . . . utter, utter twats, pass it on to 999 responders who have NOTHING else to do I bet,
I hope everyone thats being a tool catches it passes it on to loved ones,
Then they can look them in the eyes as they die a slow and painful death . . all for a ride out.

People are not taking this isolation thing seriously enough.

I provide support to an industry classed as critical workers, namely the freight clearance industry. If this stops, we starve.

Instead of going to site in Dover and risking infection, we're shipping stuff to and from me to be repaired or sent back in the rare cases where remote support can't be used.

Just been to the tiny post office up the road. Went in the car, took sanitiser. Sanitised my hands before going in to find 2 old God bothering crusties from the church stood right next to each other, trying to post 87 fecking no critical parcels to their members!

It's only a little sub post office, so I went back outside and waited. Giving the bloke 2M as he kept going back to his car to carry in another load. By the time I got served, there was a queue outside the building stretching around the corner as everyone tried to distance themselves.

Use a fecking courier for 87 parcels you morons and don't bother going out in public unless it's critical. Grrrr
