29th March is the week lockdown will end and there will be no Stay at Home order. We can then get back out for a Jolly on our bikes. Our bikes will be taxed and ready to go for the Easter weekend. Lets hope the Bank Holiday weather is good to us all after a very dark winter. Onwards and upwards people. Tomorrow will be a good day

"YES! Now to finally order a heated vest...yes I'm a wuss."

I got one by default. Mrs F was given one and it was to big for her and it fits me. Never used it yet. Had it for a few months and just realised I already had a battery pack for it as I have a Battery bank for charging phone which are the ones used for the heated vests

Can't wait either, bike all ready to go. I've mainly ridden alone but after all this isolation, a few buddies to ride with would be great.

We were just talking about how busy it will be Easter if weather is good so we are starting to think we'll put off our trip till maybe the weekend after and just stay local for a short ride round a large block

Judging by the exhaust note in the area, the lockdown hasn't stopped people visiting Eastbourne recently.
