Doesn't sound like fun motorcycling to me. Follow the leader chicken run is more fun. The fastest bike sets out on dirt roads and all others follow. If a corner is too tight roll up into a ball and project yourself to the nearest soft ground. Still stupid Americans will pay a fat fee to ride a motorcycle that they are not allowed to ride by themselves. The Puerto Rico club comes over once a year and they have fun. A big tent, barrels of rum, rides into incredible terrain, it amazes me that stupid people still try and hype this failed business venture. Anyone with any sense would join one of the PR club trips and hire a motor cycle when they get here. You need a real dirt bike - not a souped up roadster. DR attracts all sorts of rip off merchants!
