Coronavirus – Call to All Club Members To Act Responsibly

The Motorcycle Industry Association, BMF and MAG have each called upon all motorcyclists to assist with the containment of the present Coronavius epidemic and help to ease the strain on the NHS and Emergency Services. The current health emergency is a great opportunity to exploit the versatility of powered 2 wheelers for deliveries of all kinds. If there is the opportunity to help others by using your bike to help someone or a local welfare organisation then do so. No doubt those of you working for Blood Bikes will be busy and I applaud you for that. However, the first really decent W/E has seen reports of unsocial motorcycle activity ranging from arguments between a congregating group of riders and local residents and riders using the sparsely populated roads as race tracks. Whilst it is immensely frustrating to sit at home in self-imposed isolation when it is pitch perfect for a bracing ride to blow the winter blues away we are asking all club members to refrain from doing so. We all need to act responsibility at this difficult time and put the needs of the country along with those of the elderly and frail before our own and if we do this the present situation may improve faster than some predict. It is currently estimated that a single carrier will infect at least 3 other people before their symptoms appear and if each of those infect 3 more, I’ll leave you to do the maths. Please don’t be the first.
