Two motorcyclists from Rochdale who rode out more than 100 miles to Whitby for fish and chips were stopped by police and sent home with Covid-19 fines.
The local police force said the pair travelled to the seaside town in North Yorkshire 'purely' for fish and chips.
They were pulled over on the A169 on Sunday.
Both were issued with fixed penalty fines for breaching Covid-19 lockdown laws.
Police said it 'did not constitute reasonable travel'.
In a Facebook post, Whitby Town Police said: "Whilst Whitby would usually welcome visitors to sample our finest fish and chips, due to the current climate this does not constitute reasonable travel.
"Today Whitby Neighbourhood Policing Team were patrolling the A169 and stopped two motorcyclists who had travelled from Rochdale purely for fish and chips.
"Both were sent home and issued fines for breaching Covid-19 guidelines.
"Unfortunately for those motorcyclists we were in the right 'plaice' at the right time.
"We will continue to strive to keep our community safe."
The force also shared on Facebook a photograph of the motorbikes involved.
No further details have been revealed and the bikers have not been named.
But Facebookers criticised the pair's actions in comments on the police's post.
One said: "Well done. It's high time EVERYONE stuck to the rules and stopped thinking of themselves.
"The sooner we all observe the lockdown rules the sooner we are going to be able to lift them for EVERYONE."
Another posted: "Like it or not, riding to Whitby for fish and chips from Rochdale is totally taking the mick.
"Cyclists who ride miles and miles are doing likewise
"Quite annoying some do this - especially when I'm desperate to get out on my own motorcycle in this decent weather but have stayed home.
"Well done Whitby cops I say."
