Reckon it'll be June... Though will need an essential trip to the supermarket. Maybe Tesco in Barnstaple might be deemed irresponsible as I live in Exeter... Especially as I normally shop in Lidls about a mile down the road
O:-)
Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..

The 'getting worse before it gets better' bit is unfortunately, a certainty. My best guesstimate is somewhere around the original Wales Weekend date of the 19th, 20th, 21st of June.
If/when we're allowed out to play again, and if there's nothing organised SWB-wise, I'm deffo making it my mission to ride out and call in to as many bike-friendly stops that survive this situation as I can. They're gonna need any help they can get.

Maybe someone will make filters for bike helmets and over gloves so we're allowed out...

I don't think our hobby will be classed as safe and essential for quite a while. The last thing they want is for the numbers to decline and then everybody goes berserk getting out of confinement and it all starts up again.

I gloomily predict it'll be July before the KTM turns a wheel in anger. I do hope I'm wrong though.

Think the eMTB will have higher miles on it by the time we're allowed out on petrol powered machines
