    There is nothing wrong with your video .. Looked safe to me and educational .. You are riding a motorcycle, right? Why, why make a motorcycle act like a car or truck on the road? It is not a car or truck and when making it behave like one, well what's the point? You are taking the power way from the bike. Just another example of ignorance. Nothing new there. Keep moving on down the line please.

    Not sure if it is even legal here or not but society, society accepts just about any driving here and it works. It works because people here accept it, people are cautious, people are are curtious, and respect each other. We get up here each day looking for a good time and that includes traveling on a bike for most. Bike riders are the majority. Bikes rule the roads here.

    Speeds are slow here and drivers try NOT to hit anyone. That includes cars, bikes, trikes, people, cycles, animals, carabo.. everyone is given respect here no matter what they move down the road in. Its like bumper cars but you can't hit anyone. Looks weird and scary but there is a rhythm & reason to the driving here. I don't think this level of chaotic driving would be possible at speeds ~>30MPH ... It would take PRO level skills from every driver to stop a crash from happening every 10 seconds.

    I would ~never ~never (well almost never) split lanes in my home country ... Too fast and too too many 100%, pure bred, aholes with a bad attitude, too often ... Wanna hear how many people acted like they were going to open their door and crash me when I rode my Harley back from Washougal, WA after a MX race just because I was on the right side going ~10MPH passing them? There was a ~10 mile or longer traffic jam leaving the race. I thought that door opening trick was a southern thing but it was an education. I'll add you gotta remember also, more than 1 citizen has a big iron on his hip and might be willing to let you know it.

    Yes, they were an air cooled 2 stroke. I did get it up and running again though. Wish I still had it. Can't complain, my father gave me his 1973 Kawi H2 a few years ago. One hell of a bike!
