Guest Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 All I can see now is deserted locations, roads that look like they've been bombed, and abandoned buildings strewn across the landscape!But I can handle it.......weather permitting! Quote
Bender Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Very nice for post apocalyptic landscape, I see a few green shoots of recovery. Quote

S-Westerly Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Ye god's the weather looks awful. Blue skies, a few fluffy white clouds - what sort of weather is that? Wimpy I call it. Real manly weather needs rain, fog, howling gales and preferably all at the same time! Quote

Sadly I'd have to agree with you these days as I don't commute and I ride for fun. A slight shower I can tolerate but monsoons I'd prefer to avoid. Hence my irritation last week when I had to go out on the bike and the weather gods decided to piss all over me in vast quantities. bast*rds. Quote

S-Westerly Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 After the pandemic - I guess one casualty of Covid will be hitch hiking. Back in my youth used to hitch quite a bit but can't see it happening now. On bikes never really a thing although in my younger and even more foolish days I did get lifts 4 times on the back of bikes but not in the UK. Quote

S-Westerly Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 When I got lifts on a bike in all cases I wasn't sober. One was in India and the others in South America. No safety kit of any kind was worn by either the rider or me but the bikes were not exactly superbikes. One rider was female. Hey ho - good old days! Quote
skyrider Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 it wouldnt have been too bad in india then the rider would have been wearing a cloth helmet and flipflops Quote
gogs01 Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 My most terrifying experience of getting a lift on the back of a bike was actually on a 50cc scooter !It was in Okpo in South Korea, a very busy place, and the madman (a local) had this little scooter flat out between lines of traffic, on the pavement, across a pedestrian crossing and against the flow of traffic. Less than a mile all told, but at least three times I thought I was going to die. He told me he also had a ZX9R, but needless to say I'd had my first and last pillion experience in South Korea. Quote
