  • Riding in other countries

    Past few weeks, I've ridden in Majorca (Palma to Formentor), Barcelona to Montserrat & Castelledefels to watch the Vuelta Espania and Taipei, Taiwan to visit family.

    Ridden on 250cc, 125cc and 150cc scooters in each of those areas,















    Scooters and 2-wheel vehicles are definitely majority in traffic flow.. and move through traffic much quicker than 4-wheel vehicles.

    Taiwan in particular have designated areas at the front of each intersection for 2-wheel vehicles to move ahead of 4-wheel vehicle traffic and get a head start when lights turn green.

      Seen a handful of.Katanas in Barcelona, but I'd say over 80% of 2-wheel vehicles in Barcelona were scooters under 250cc.
      Majorca has more 4-wheel traffic, legal to ride ATVs on public roadways and more rental cars for tourists.
      The roads to Formentor was spectacular for riding, lots of twist and turns, elevation changes.. I even passed a few cars while riding 2-up on a 250cc Vespa on the twisty single lane road.

          Agreed. But that 5th one wasn't half bad either...
