Riding a Harley in times of the pandemic
Now we're off again, the first rays of sunshine invite us to cruise and we'd love to do laps with our friends again. But is this even allowed, what is allowed and what is not allowed, that is the question? The fact is that the lockdown has been extended until March 28, 2021, which may mean for motorcyclists that things will not be the same everywhere in the country as they were before the lockdown and the pandemic, but it is not forbidden!
Joyrides are permitted where there are no exit restrictions
Depending on the federal state, the problem starts with groups of 5 or 10 bikers. In Schleswig-Holstein the restrictions are no longer so strict, but in the south things can look different again. Where there are exit restrictions, an important reason must also be given. The situation is currently easing everywhere again, but if the incidence values are too high in a district, stricter rules apply again in the respective area.
In this case, anyone who is on the way to work, a specialist workshop, a general inspection, shopping, a doctor, etc. can continue their journey. Driving for pleasure is not permitted in these areas. If you are planning a trip for pleasure, you should definitely find out beforehand about the districts you want to drive through. The police are also on the move and the motorcycle deployed on the streets in Upper Bavaria.
Don't forget the FFP2 mask!
And don't set off without a mask, a cloth is not enough, an FFP2 mask should be with you on every journey.
So, check the route carefully beforehand to see whether there are any risk areas on the route. If not, you will be able to complete the tour with your friends in a small, organized group without any stress from the authorities.
Wear the mask at gas stations and other breaks and pay attention to the distance as usual.
Control group motorcycle stops too loudly Harley-Davidson
In Bad Tölz at the weekend, the police stopped loud motorcyclists, one of whom was a Harley rider who was riding with a mechanical flap exhaust in the open position, which was not permitted for him, especially because according to the measurement he achieved 113 decibels .
So there are other things that can prevent you from traveling, always be careful and stay healthy!
