End of April (21st I think) is the proposed date for a staged end to this lock down, by May we should all be allowed out to play for a day or two.

More like I will be at a track day. As all of the wifes holidays have been cancelled there is no money being spent and there is a load more holiday days now available. Already 2 of our planned holidays are cancelled. We were supposed to be in Disneyland next week (what a surprise :-o ) and we were supposed to be going over to see my sick mum (got cancer) in Spain in May. Both cancelled.

10 days worth of track days now available 8)

Annnnnddddd you might be surprised to know that i actually have a motorbike in the garage that i am insured to ride thanks to Bunny67 just that Superduke's are not my thing

I'm (partially) with you on this one Rob, I've never found the riding position of the superduke "right" for me ..... To tall, narrow and forward for me? (Plus the TL is a better motor than the 990 :wink: )
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....

What’s the urban dictionary term for ‘Gixxer boy’ and being new to bikes and riding a cruiser, what’s the crack with Gixxers ?????

I didn't ride the cobweb due to domestics, got an excuse for an essential journey this morning and the battery was flat... 😭🤣 I bet a gixxer would have started!
