And now for something completely different
There are certain things I cannot have failed to notice about motorbikes and (especially) scooters while living here. They seem to be a matter of choice - if you feel like doing it, do it - if not, hey, no problem
- Wear a helmet while on a bike/scooter.... and on that subject
- ride a scooter if you're over 12... ish
- indicate that you're turning
- stop when you see a friend, or a shop you want to go in or.... just because you want to, and don't bother indicating or give a clue because that would be cheating
- ride your scooter alongside your friend on his/her scooter and have a chat
- have a cigarette while travelling on your scooter
- have a conversation on your mobile phone while travelling on your scooter, with or without a cigarette
- see how many people you can get on a scooter (I've counted 4, apparently mother, father and 2 children)
- If you need to transport a wheelbarrow, get your mate to go pillion and pull it behind
- No friend on hand? Have the wheel poking over your shoulder and the base riding pillion
- You and your pillion passenger eat an ice cream while riding - after all it is hot!
