Best way to avoid crowded spaces - Ride a TDM

Reason not use public transport - Ride a TDM

Don't congregate in closed spaces - Ride a TDM

Protect your nose, mouth and eyes - Wear a hemet & ride a TDM

Wear hand protection or gloves - Ride a TDM with your gloves on

Avoid touching contaminated surfaces - Don't let anyone touch your TDM 

Avoid shaking hands - Keep your gloves on while riding your TDM

Keep a safe distance from people who sneeze or cough - Ride a TDM

Maintain a positive and prudent attitude - Only way to ride a TDM

There was quite few vehicles that i encountered during that 300km circle. People are mostly scared. But its great time to throw TV in garbage and explore.

 

Ride was awesome because there was no one to cut me off or something like that. Usualy i need to alert but now, not so.

You mean "grin factor 10" by "overtakes"...... Looks like it was a cracking ride.

If we all did it we'd be stickin' it to an establishment that is lying through their teeth to us and preparing to undertake the greatest assault on human freedom since Hitler attempted it in the 40's. Come on guys, be honest, who believes what the Govt is telling us - really?

Yes a lot of people have died whilst suffering from this virus
But we still don't know if the virus killed them or complications with existing issues - guess we never will

Even though I Ride to work every day etc I still can't wait to be able to bugger off for the day on my bike without any guilt

Guys,

 

one of the benefits of touring is that we can see and understand other people. 

The places i ridden are are different from cities. Its different life style. No traffic, no banks, no super markets, no anything. People are living with nature and their own food, with clean air. Those people are unaffected by modern day problems. What they have here is by today standards LUXURY life.

 

I hope this virus will show people what are true values. We are not spending only our money, but spending our nerves, our spirit and body to jobs and companies that throw individuals on sacrificing pit if profit is in danger. Sometimes we need to think our priorities. We dont take care about ourselves enough. 

 

Motorcycle is just tool to open up for new things and experiences so we can change to be better persons.

You are a free spirit. There are actually a lot of people like you, unfortunately they are too timid to announce it. You're not one of them!
