COVID-19 potential restrictions on riding?

we'll see tomorrow

emphasis appears to be on isolation if the facts warrant it
and social distancing

riding a motorcycle by yourself assuming you're healthy
and practicing proper distancing sounds like it should not be banned

but I guess as individuals we need to decide how essential the activity is
I think we all know the correct answer to that
 
One of my favourite riding areas is Amish country in Ohio. They don't believe in having their photo taken and probably not into cell phones. Some Mennonites won't have a land line but are OK with a cell phone.

It's all tied to the belief that one shouldn't be reliant on one earthly power. Cell phones have multiple providers.

One of the problems with dial up, unless there has been a fix, is that anyone with decent speed sends a message to a dial up user with a photo or worse, video, and it takes all day to download.
Theoretically if you have dial up you have access to ISDN. Unless you're in an area it's not offered or the wires are abysmal there's no reason for anyone at home to not have decent internet speeds.

My parents live in the country in southern ontario. The wires are abysmal. Their connection to fibre is ~6 km from their house. Half the time when it is damp out, their land line is barely functional as a phone. They are on LOS wireless right now. Very angry with them and the service sucks (cuts out 20 times a day). Cell signal at there house is ~1 bar for both rogers and bell.

If just one person carrying the virus unknowingly needs attention from first responders who carry it back to a hospital....well,you know.
I think it's just the responsible thing to do.Isolate means just that.There is no grey area.

Tell them to rejoin civilization...in a few months.

They are in quarantine for another week and a bit (came back from FL). As much as they want to see the grandkids, we all agree that that isn't happening for a long time.
 
Tell them, Spring's not here yet, maple syrup season is not done,
throw another log on the fire.
 
Not much to see here.
I was just thinking about you and wondering how big your back yard is,
then I fell down on the ice and nearly re-injured myself, and I was just walking! lol

We've made maple syrup in the past. We buy it now. Fire is lit. A few cords in the basement. They don't need the outside world (other than to talk to the grandkids).

So over the railing around the tree, over the shed (although you probably need at least one step to help you) and back the deck? Repeat for at least 14 days. Do you physically have your bike?

No not yet. It might arrive Friday. It may be in storage for a while. Can't leave my wife for more than 2 hours, and it's a 1 hour trip to Langs.

Have Rob deliver it to your back yard fuelled up!
That's plenty of room to practice (y)
 
Entertain your bored neighbours too :LOL:
OMG Martha Look, that crazy guy next door just rode over his garden shed!
 
If you go for a ride, wear a full face helmet pack toilet paper around your chin and you should have a reasonable alternative to
I was wondering about that myself -- how big is the national stockpile for beer and smokes?

If cigarette factories and breweries are forced to close, what will a pack of smokes be worth in 30 days?

The reserves probably have enough garbage bags full of smokes on them to supply the country for a year.

I have a sneaky feeling that Dougies definition of essential and mine are not going to be closely aligned. I think he will basically close offices (staff work from home) and completely unnecessary retail (clothing, video games etc.). It sounds like construction, factories, restaurants, lots of retail will get a pass. Still not far enough in my opinion. Who knows, he may surprise me.
