HOLA from Guatemala ¿you all okay?

[Quasievil]

Just a quick hi, its a wild country ovwer here, motorbikes are mostly little ones but I have seen a few decent size sports bikes cruising around gixxers and kwakas mostly.
there is a new helmet fashion, wear it on your head so its not completely on, but put it on backwards ?? go figure.
most dont wear a helmet and ride like madmen.
many businesses and hotels have one or two guys at the front door with pump action shottys, and they dont look to worried about using them either. walked passed 10 dudes (all Dodgy) armed with machine guns grenandes etc in the street, they were sitting around looking bored, they were all guarding a bank .
freaky stuff but good to see how these people live.
very friendly people mostly. Food is AWESOME, STEAK !!!! my god it is unreal, i unno what we get there 3rd grade must be but the meat is really good here !!!
anyway lunch time then a meeting with Toyota, we meet with Mitsubishi this morning and it went really well.
Asta Lavista Amigos Amigas !!!!!

Just remember to *Duck* when the bullets start flying....
Dont know if I would want to be around with all those guns...
Cos I hate guns.

[vifferman]

its not the guns you should be worried about, its the plonkers with their fingers on the trigger!

You ever been target shooting with a small-caliber rifle?

Amazing how many people change their mind about hating guns after doing that. It's just too much fun.

And remember that when you're piloting a cage down the motorway, you're controlling two hundred times more kinetic energy than when your finger is on the trigger of a 30-calibre rifle.

Don't hate guns. Respect them for the fine tools that they are.

"You're not in Guatemala now, Dr Evil...errr...Dr Ropata!"

Yep.

"Guns don't kill people; I kill people."

The kinetic energy in a decent-sized bike at motorway speeds also tops that of a .30cal.

I am generally more at ease around people holding guns than I am on the road with other people around - mainly because I know the licensing for firearms here in NZ is more stringent than that for cars and bikes - odd considering a car can kill lots of people all at once and to do that with a firearm you've gotta get 'em all lined up proper...

Mind you, there's a big diff between an NZ firearms licence holder and a Guatemalan with a shotgun...
