Is motorcycling allowed?

[BSG]

Hey guy's, how was the first day of lockdown?

So this arrived yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately had loads of stuff to finish off at work and came home past 7pm. Could only go for a short spin in town and then had to stare at it everytime I came out the front door today. [emoji846][emoji853]

Baie nice, geniet hom laaaaaater eers hoor. [emoji1303][emoji6]

Awesome Ben! Congrats and many safe kms

I think you might be right there. 

That sound....Man...

Nice Ben. For a long time I've been wanting to ride to Stettynskloof. When this is all over perhaps we could take a ride there.

Anytime bud, love that road by bike and bicycle. [emoji106]

Was headed up there new year's day with my DR, stopped about halfway up to grab a pic and realized this little Bushpiggy was leaking oil out the one side casing so I turned around and was lucky to make it back without any engine damage.

You still have the DR Ben?

Congrats on the new machine, wish you many happy kilometres! If you feel for company and you are in the George area after all this lockdown is done, shout, perhaps I can show you some cool routes in my area.

Still do yes.

It's my lighter duty trail bike for playing around with my boy on his KLX.

Will definitely hit you up when I'm that side. Only backroad I know round there is Montagu Pass, have only done it in my bakkie, but have it on my bucket list for both bike and bicycle.

Quick run to Calitzdorp for a little port, just prior to lockdown. Out via Outeniqua Pass and Mount Hope road. Decided to extend the run back via Huis Rivier Pass and Ladismith then the tar road to Riversdale via Garcia Pass and then home via Mossel Bay. 300 km became nearly 500!

Nice reminders of the satisfaction of a dirt or gravel road ride.

 

It would be maddening to have bought a bike just before lockdown and now I'm regretting not having taken a few long dirt rides early last week. But, in fairness, work was a little frantic and I did take pushbike rides Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoon. Now I'm confined to keeping batteries charged, contemplating some maintenance and improvements while wondering if I will piss my neighbours off when I start the bikes once or twice a week.

Ahhhh......start the bikes, they will get used to it! I have mine on battery monitors but I still start them because I like to hear them. Well, I don’t run the two old Honda’s currently residing in the lounge! Reason for their temporary lodging is the repainting of the garage and resurfacing of the floor.

Working from home has some advanteages. 

 

Spit an polish and looking beautiful. Turns 27 years old on the 5th of June. Looks neater than it is as i do need to tak off the swing arm and sand it down and the front forks... maybe do the wheels as well.

This popped up in my feed.

I had the 900F at the time and am sorely tempted

[IceCreamMan]

I had a 900F ...a silver one. bought it for 1 995-00 in pristine condition second hand back in 19 eighty 4. Beautiful machine and it had the honda reliability. Rode it to 6 SAI and back many times. what a machine.
