That is a bit harsh Chris.

It is not that he does not like it here he just not like being left with a big repair bill from a "professional driver", I would feel the same.

Tobius put a polite thread after suffering reasonably sever damage to his bike bike and almost person from an arsehole driver who then denied EVERYTHING.

I have seen the damage personally and tried to help get it sorted.

Personally I would not have sugar coated it and called the bus driver what he really deserved and given the chance a right hand kiwi cuddle.

Suggest YOU reword YOUR post NOT knowing the entire background to a friendly warning for other riders post.

Tobius, post up the bus company etc and let the news out, no sugar coatings.

I always tell my South American friends that Lima had the worst driving I've ever seen. Brazilian folks are always kind of offended.

we wrote at the same time...
which points did I make that you do not understand? where I come from, we ask in that case and do not go to attack.
when I answered with sure I wanted to confirm that problem that I am very well aware of. My post is not a general " how to ride a motorcycle safely" info but an attempt to help every traveller to come home in one piece and without wasting time in police stations, with doctors or bike shops...
I wish I had a copy of saturdays local paper with two reports about accidents we talk about,where 3 peruvians lost their lifes ( 2 of them cops on mc).they obviously have not learned what the vibes are like here .
Thanks for the wishes, if they are not ironic.

Mate, can I suggest you go for a long walk to get some fresh air: NO, the wishes were NOT ironic.

If you ever want to fly somewhere, rather than ride a bike or take a bus, can I suggest trying this airline: Yorkshire Airlines - YouTube

I must admit Peruvian driving is the worst in South America in my opinion, had several near death experiences there and yes never used my horn as much!

Head on into another moto here in Peru.

Dude was totally in our lane around a blind corner just as well we were not a bus or truck he would be dead.





...does make you wonder

Glad you made out of that! I have a photo of ambulance driving in the oncoming lane, I'll try and post? I wish I had one a police car I've been run off the road by them, so if they do it everyone will. I had to get off the road and stop for a truck today and looked over and he was laughing. What a jerkwad! These drivers/riders are dumb! Just f*#king DUMB!!!
In still in Peru myself and will be glad to be in Chile soon where they drive more civil!

Show me a country where an ambulance does not drive in the other lane ? Or police car ? Or fire engine?

You are in their country, study the way they drive and drive to their roads. Peru does *not* have the worst drivers. It is all relative. I've been reversed into in the USA and knocked off, does that make them the worst drivers ?

Grow up, grow some balls and stop whining.

What the f...! This is so mal-positioned! especially considering that the op (me) and fellow riders TMK share their bad experience in order to help others! Maybe you should think again and grow up!

Heya Bruce, think you might be a little harsh there.

Yes emergency vehicles drive in the other lane but usually more in an emergency rather than just because at least that is my take.

Insurances .. you shitting me he couldn't even spell it, we have said first things first take a photo to show position just in case but he seemed to know he was in the wrong and wanted out of there, had damage been worse I would have locked his bike on the spot for the Police but not worth the shit and drama for the scuffs we got.

The road was actually two lane and although our side was rock the other side actually had a reasonable run out, there was no crash and die over a cliff stuff here which makes you wonder even more why he was trying to commit suicide on our side ???? .. and yes the other guy was his passenger.

So just yesterday a truck came around an open view corner saw us and swerved at us and back and laughed sending us off our line and wobbling .. .now why the fnck would he do that

We have a tin with stones in for dogs, yesterday one stone was used on a car that saw us, flashed his lights then pulled out head on onto us, there was no one else behind for miles ... why couldn't he wait 3 -4 more seconds but he insisted on running us off the road.

He will be looking for a new headlight now.

Tin reloaded!!!!
