- We tend to drive on the wrong (right) side of the road, although this is not guaranteed
- Nobody will see you on the bike, so be very alert and don't hesitate to sound the horn
- If you can find a pay phone, coins go in first, then you dial
- A boot is a trunk and a bonnet is a hood--although a boot can still be a boot if on a foot and a bonnet a bonnet if on a head
- Showing your umbrage by hoisting the middle-finger can lead to gunplay
- Take the insurance option on the bike hire
- Bring rain gear just in case
- Hydrate frequently--H2O is best--it can be in the mid-70F range in March
- Mileage on the HD will likely be awful, so allow for more stops and budget for fuel, unless you plan to just park it curbside and lean against it in your dirty jeans while picking your fingernails clean with your switchblade
- The HDs can vibrate a lot--you will feel like you've been working a jack-hammer after a while--and bring ear-plugs
- We don't have traffic signals that flash before going from red to green--you just have to wait it out--it's a good time to chat on your cell phone because you will be busy watching and avoiding others talking on theirs after you are underway again
- Sometimes lovely young women in thong bikinis staff the hot-dog and tee-shirt/beach-towel stands on street corners, so do not let that become a distraction--and watch for others who may be distracted!
Enjoy your visit!
