I might would too at those prices, that's between $8000 and $9000 USD. The Governor issued a State wide mask order but our County Judge said he would not have the order enforced here in Montgomery County so it's been pretty nice with only a few businesses requiring a mask. I haven't been locked down, been staying busy and doing most anything I want to do. Now that some of the restrictions have been lifted and those that did lock down have flown the coop, the traffic has been terrible. I'm thinking of locking down now just to stay away from the stir crazy, cabin fever crowds.Cheers everyone. Not much going on at the moment, with regards to European travel. If you go to Europe from next week and you tell a porky or two about why you're going and you get found out, you'll be looking at a £5000.00 fine. Then as an added bonus if you have to isolate when you come back, in a Government approved hotel, then you can kiss goodbye to £1750.
Needless to say I'm staying putt for the foreseeable future.

But at least i had my jab monday afternoon so if we need a covid passport to travel ive had it , and the bikes in for its MOT tomorrow morning ready for the 29th .

I can definitely relate to the crazy traffic.
Bit late at getting into this post but welcome back MOT. I was just thinking how much I was missing your awesome ride report that you always do for us,
For me it was always like I was taking the trip with you to places I would probably never be able to visit myself.

I'm also pleased to say that I had my first vaccination shot last Monday.
All being well, there should be one coming up in June when I'm off to Wales. The trip that will interest Rocky most I think will be the trip to Orkney, where the German scuttled its fleet to stop the Royal Navy getting hold of their ships. There's a lot of interesting places to see up there, so again, all being well, I'll be going. Been looking at Poland for next year, but all the hotels that I bookmarked are fully booked for all of June and July, so I might have to start thinking about camping again, but make my way to Nordkapp in Norway. It's about a 4500 mile round trip. But it all depends on what happens with the vaccine roll out in Europe. It honestly feels like I've had my legs cut off not being able to go anywhere. But you soon come back down to earth when you listen to the news with all these poor souls loosing their lives.Bit late at getting into this post but welcome back MOT.

I just hope that this vaccine works for everyone.
Congrats, Rocky. I am glad to hear this.
Well the bike passed the MOT no problem and we are now allowed to travel in your local area ( your council district ) , and being as Aberdeenshire is a big county that means plenty of scope for a run on the bike .
Congratulations. Now get out and ride!Well the bike passed the MOT no problem and we are now allowed to travel in your local area ( your council district ) , and being as Aberdeenshire is a big county that means plenty of scope for a run on the bike .
What Carl said^.
AND TAKE PICS!!!!!! 
I love the fact that you enjoy visiting site like this as I also get a huge kick out of seeing your photos on these with a bit of a story, they always cool.
I agree, always a treat to read
Due to the pandemic our club did practically no group riding last year so I had nothing to post. They did a couple of rides, but were poorly attended.
I opted to stay home and away from people, but did a bit of riding solo. Nothing to speak of though.
I had my first COVID shot last week and am very pleased about that. I expect much more club activity this year.
@DaveM I don't know if you know about this girl from Holland, but she's amazing. She's in S Africa now. You really do live in a beautiful country that's for sure. If you do get time, it's well worth watching, and her other videos too.
