Open your eyes and you see what is in front of you, open your mind and you see a bigger picture but open your heart and you see a whole new World.

Given the average demographic of adventure bike riders these days, there don't seem to be many summers left in us anyway. It makes sense to avoid well publicised hotspots but I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to trundle through sunny Europe this summer on a motorbike.
If you don't go when you can go, when you try to go you might already be gone

Europe seems to have the resources to deal with the epidemic outbreaks, so far at least, I can't really see there being to much of an issue for those wishing to a few weeks/months touring Europe, sure you might not be able to go to all the places you want and you may need to take long diversions to avoid blackspots.
The real issues will those that wish travel the globe, Turkey has apparently closed its borders with Iran, other countries are likely to follow suit and as the epidemic becomes pandemic then more countries will be closing their borders with their neighbours.


Beside you all should of been preparing for the zombie apocalypse so a simple outbreak of Corona virus should be child's play🤪🤪😜😜

The low immune system is caused by the cancer treatment .. chemotherapy.. my sister recently died from it .. she didn't die from direct infections but from the cancer and the ineffective treatments and from the detrimental effects of the chemotherapy , one of which was the lowering of immune system.. but the consultants made a bomb on it all ..

I was speaking to a lady warden from Malaysia a day ago .. it didn't stop me from enjoying her close proximity company for over an hour.. there is far too much hysteria about this covid virus .. if it was bubonic plague, yes, I would be terrified.. but it is a low fatality risk type of flue.

BUT, nobody knows................China have under reported perhaps to avoid a mass panic, deaths outside China are being reported at 5%, not 2%

A mathematician has stated at current spread, it will double every 2-3 days and is highly contagious, maybe kill 14 million worldwide

This isn't just 'flu

Look how global trade is being affected JLR Cars are on short time, plumbers running low on fittings
We buy things we don't need



With money we don't have



To impress people we don't even like

I used to collect those bottles and get a penny back on each one. On my way to a 12 hour shift cleaning chimneys and working down the mine, that is...
