I did the same thing on a GN by the airport! When I was there they had safety videos in the police station trying to persuade people to use helmets.. I take it they didn't get very far.
Also saw a brand new ducati monster when I was there, seemed a little bit overkill. I mean it would probably get around the island in 20 minutes but who would be in that much of a hurry?
The inland roads are fun too, went up a path to a reservoir before an intimidating number of probably guard dogs came sauntering out of the bushes.

If you think any of thats bad, try ballancing a crate of DB draught on top of your tank after you have had a few.
May have seen that bike myself. Saw a really ratty one at the far end of the markets (Muri end). I think it only had half a sidestand as the guy had a big block of wood on the ground for what was left of the sidestand to rest on. I assume he took the wood with him wherever he went?
Grow older but never grow up
Got back a few weeks ago. I would like to add my silliest spotting was a troop of tourists in convoy (about 10) of scooters, 3 of the 10 had spear guns, loaded, balanced on their shoulder as they rode. DUH!
Hired two scooters (one for myself and wife), what got amused me most was that we both asked for and used helmets. $1 a day, bargain!
Now we both ride so are less likely to fall off, unlike 90% of other tourists there without helmets who probably have very rarely been on motorised two wheels, if ever! Anyone who has been to the Laura Ferguson Trust would never ride without a helmet, seeing what a head injury can do, no thanks! That said I did ride once without one, felt fecking weird!
pussy .
The locals on Raro do it well but come a distant 2nd to the Thai's.
Its diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; its life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.
You guys are doing it all wrong. 2nd or 3rd gear, just above idle. Chill out and relax. Relax. Cruise about and enjoy the Island.
