As we couldn't make lunch numbers, I let the Cumberland Hotel know. And I receved this in response ...
Thanks for letting me know, my normal hours are from 4:30 on a Saturday as I won’t be doing lunch now I won’t open until our normal time.
Cheers Amanda
I'll let Kev and you to make up your own minds re. attending. I suppose that goes for some of the other regular regionals - Marcus, Sulky, Gordo, and I 'spose a few others.
As far as travelling through Melbourne, I have enough trouble keeping up with what we in Melb can and cannot do without having to track the same for you pesky regionals. But I wouldn't want to run the risk of being pestered by the authorities by riding through Melbourne in a lockdown period. Two-up on a motorcyclewould standout like the proverbial dogs balls, particularly for any overzealous authorised officer.
And FMD, what would you do if you had any unforeseen breakdown (of course, unlikely on the ST, but non-Honda fuel and tyre problems are not unknown), and run another risk of not complying with what I would presume to be a requirement not to stop. Could this mean some difficulties on your return to and at home?
