The shitdown is slowly being lifted in some places and increased in others. Our parks and beaches are closed from eleven to five during the day (and they're normally closed an hour after sunset to an hour before mostly) to prevent tourism.
The scuttlebutt is that Zero is starting up the production line - they've been putting out repairs and doing only limited production. I heard they have a bunch of police bikes to build. So that's cool. I wonder what the SR/ police bikes look like...
I saw another SR/S on the road again, looked like one from the factory.

What drives me crazy is that each little county has their own set of rules regarding what people can do and what they can't. It depends upon where you are when you get caught. Most police seem to be more interested in keeping the local public beaches, parks and trails only for their residents and not for the general public that probably is paying taxes to support and maintain them. San Mateo county as of yesterday increased their travel restriction to visit a recreation area from 5 miles to 10 miles. What has the mileage traveled got to do with anything? Why 5 miles and what changed to allow people to travel 10 miles now? I am really having a problem understanding the logic behind all of these different rules that are made up by individual local health officers. I would feel better if they would explain their reasoning, instead of just announcing the regulations without any justification.

Regarding Zero, that is the way to get back to work. Build or service "authority" vehicles. Doing anything to support the cops is considered an essential service and you are allowed to do that. My BMW shop claims that they are staying open because they service and maintain police BMW motorcycles. Hopefully the Zero factory can stay open long enough building cop bikes for the crisis rules to be lifted sufficiently to allow full production of all of the vehicles to commence. I just hope there is enough loose cash left in the enthusiast market to purchase them.
