life in Costa Rica
 

http://i1379.photobucket.com/albums/...psxnc6egsg.jpg Tried to hire a little trail bike here in Costa Rica. ...but they wanted an 'open' , whatever that is of $800 !. Mostly small trail/Supermoto bikes here. Helmets are compulsory but few wear them . Watched a helmet less biker riding along on his phone being followed by 2 police riders on there small trail bikes...they just waved to the guy as they overtook! . Super friendly people and an amazing place for wildlife. Steve

It's always great to visit country's where people just get on with life in their own way and not wrapped up in cotton wool.
Have fun.

Looks like you're having a good holiday Steve; hope you manage to hire a small bike...

My type of place Steve,sounds just like Mexico!..
