  Chris,  you are a class act.  Who says quarantine must be a place we suffer.  Relax and enjoy.  You’ve earned it.

>>    My only experience with a balaclava of any sort are the spandex type.  Light, thin, moisture wicking. They can be rinsed in the evening, hung up and are normally dry by morning.  When on long-rider excursion, I normally pack two on the outbound.  Somewhere along the way one of the two invariably gets lost.  Arrive home with the other.  A replacement is then ordered.  I can never remember what or where I got the last one, so it’s a different variant each time.

>>    Hedz,

>>  It has now been recommended that when venturing out into public places that we wear a protective surgical mask.  Good luck buying such a thing, there ain't none.  Motorcycle gear to the rescue.  Quick, order a few, before they catch on.  Once the general public figures out that such an item can be worn every day, hand washed every night, inventory will be stripped clean.  Several years ago, I was persuaded by riding companions to wear one.  I tried it, I liked it.  I find it helps to make the helmet fit better while softening the wind rush noise.  On long rider adventure, at the B&B bivouac it gets hand washed every evening.  The Summer variant, lightweight thin nylon works best.

Should prove to be entertaining.  Without persuasion, even the most oblivious of patron might just get out of your way.  Something us motorcyclist’s could easily grow fond of.

>>  Funny how an appearance that could have resulted in your panic driven arrest 3 months ago, might just be the socially expected normal today.  Enough to make a mans head spin.
