      My ride home yesterday from the container to the compound

      Ride home about 17:00 local time yesterday in Juba South Sudan.

      Bike is a Chinese 250 'enduro' type. Had a 150 that I rode from here to Kampala but then found one of the few 250s.

      Motorcycles here are a way of life and not simply a past time.



      (hope this works - initial attempt)

          Here the smaller you are the less right of way you have. Keeping up the speed seems to help avoid problems.

            That's just mad! All that congested traffic and having to weave your way through.

            I guess you get used to it doing it every day but I think I'd go nuts and have to go looking for some clear windy mountain roads real fast...

              I literally dream of rides in the mountains. I didn't mention that the road I was on was some of the very little pavement in the whole country.

              I'll take another video on a really congested day. Madness!

                    Took a little ride last weekend, there are some real nice twisties within 5 miles of my house. Couldn't include my bike in the pic because there were some cars on the road and I didn't wanna look like a fool picturing my bike.

                                Nice Bob, glad to see you're out riding again, and evidently enjoying the new cycle.
