Motoreiter; I don't think you got my message this time my friend... It looks like you took this one personal and this I find strange.
I don't want to have people respond to specific cases like 'i wouldn't have bribed in that case' etc.
I think it is a shame that some people (most of the time us, EU citizens) think it is normal to bribe or to suggest or to "automatically" offer a bribe without trying not to. That's what I mean. Two weeks ago we saw this and it made me angry, yes, in real not on a forum. We got pulled over, (for no reason) and after we just negotiated that there was nothing wrong and that the cop didn't had any legal basis to inflict us a "fine" another biker stopped also (it was a checkpoint) and just asked the cop how much he wanted... Yes this makes me wonder and yes I think that he could have been more tactful at least...
The guy is no way a HU member... I'm sure of that...
So I am not really sure why you seem to take this one so harshly?

I agree, but I wasn't especially reflecting on those areas, maybe I had to be more clear in my original post, but I wanted to generalize without mentioning countries or specific regions to avoid a 'yes-no' possible debate.

My post is a reflection on the maybe limited places I have been, sorry, I haven't been to Mexico yet and I haven't been to black Africa, so I can't possibly say anything about those places but I just think that some of the tourists are bribing to easely. That's it.

Of course it is different when you live in a corrupt or difficult system, I can try to understand that. My idea/post is about when you are traveling and doing nothing wrong and doing it all how it should be done.
