I take your point and so far I have resisted going out for a ride, but I think a bit harsh to refer to a selfish prick if you do and do it as safely as possible and in moderation.

Yes but the point is we shouldn’t be doing it at all. It’s all about pulling together and not being selfish .
Every single hospital bed is needed right now .
A mate got taken out by a dog running across the road last year . Never had an off in over 40 years . Spent a month in hospital . Don’t think you’d get a good reception from that knackered doctor or nurse right now if you end up there .
But some people will always do what they want , such is the world we live in .
I agree with Arsey as well , this is not the time to dilute the advice given . Stay at home if you can and don’t take risks that would make others suffer .
It is hard , I’m lucky I can still work as I supply parts that are needed in this current climate. So for all you that are at home I take my hat off to you , well done
If I was selling a bike and a buyer used this crisis, in the future, to try and leverage me down on price....... I wouldn't sell it to him/her, on principle .......they could FRO.
......no matter how desperate I was to shift the bike.

Correct, but if the long route is very long then, it might be questioned, but as always, of course it depends upon the actual circumstances - whether you use a car or a motorcycle is really irrelevant.
I don’t have a car, so have to use my bike for essential journeys - as the shops are walkable from my office then I can't really justify using the bike for shopping, but I have to use it for the 15 miles or so from home to office - It is not possible to work from home, so that’s allowed.
I am permitted to and will be checking on my elderly father and bringing him basic supplies every 3 or 4 days (he is under instruction to cocoon) as he is over 70. It's a 60km round trip, I'll have to do it in my car or on my bike.
Considering all the PPE I'll be wearing going into the shop for him.......I'll be going on my bike.
It's motorway/urban journey......in no way would I consider it a jolly or a hoon.

That seems entirely reasonable, the mode of transport is irrelevant - I will get slagged off for saying so by a few oddballs on here, but as long as you are obeying both the letter and spirit of the rules it’s ok.
You said the other day that you were working from home. Even took a picture of your desk.

It is no longer possible for me work from home - 3D EM simulations on the remote server require a very high speed broadband connection, not yet available out in the sticks, trying to find a way of doing it but not yet possible. Chip design and everything that goes with it requires very high speed links, it’s causing issues for a number of us from home.
I don't care about your stupid "new bike days".....it's meant to be "new puppy day" for us over Easter Weekend - involving 230 miles each way to Welshpool.
Sadly, I can't see it happening. Looks like we are going to miss out on a few weeks of new puppy time - which any fule kno is even better than new bike time.

Some over zealous police were trying to stop the selling of Easter eggs FFS - the slippery slope to a fascist police state is easy to reach unless good men protest.
Sorry about you lack of puppies this Easter.

I see the police have to told use some consistency and common sense now in policing the lockdown -if they don’t keep the public onside they will lose all respect.
Not sure that will work, as you’re very consistent but lost any respect on here years ago...
Ouch ..
