Travelling is also strongly discouraged in Germany. Actually you're only allowed out of your home/garden for shopping, doctors and sports. Whereby sports means physical training and no motor sports like motorcycling
And when entering shops or public transport a face mask is compulsory. Groups of people are forbidden.
So - I do travel. But only in theory  I enjoy reading RR's and try to follow the route taken by the traveller and plot his/her route in MapSource/Basecamp. Might be useful in future months  Besides that, there often are great photos in the RR's to keep you dreaming....

We did it again :-)
On the way back we got near stuck in a snow storm at 2300 @ Flüelapass - so we had an additional night in the snow.

Mouth-watering pics
As from today m/c rides are allowed again in Bavaria according to an interview with the Minister for Interior Affairs, Mr. Hermann. None the less social distancing is required as before.

As Scrabblebiker wrote, here in BC short distance travel is allowed but discouraged. I have thought about riding out to Port Renfrew or up Vancouver Island, but that is strongly discouraged so I haven't. I have been taking my 650 out for short hour-long rides on the local backroads just to turn the engine over and get some riding in. I feel bad for other riders who are not even allowed that bit of freedom.
The provincial government is talking about perhaps easing some restrictions before the end of the month, such as allowing folks to travel to visit extended family, as long as other social distancing measures are respected. If that happens perhaps I will go visit my folks in the Interior, all else being good.

@Ioannis: I just had pictures in my blog @ www.4x4tripping.com, dont use Insta or FB.
I had a additional fuel Tank mounted where usually the spare tire is, below the car in the rear.
Inside of the car I have two switches for fire two Pumps, Pumplines with Filter to pump to the maintank. Failovering because I near run out of fuel in congo, where bad fuel has cloaked the small filter between the two tanks (and a full 2nd tank)

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
