Tonik Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 So who wants to go down for 5 or 6 days and ride 100's of miles of 'Dragon-like' roads? Just got back, it was epic but did not rent a bike...mom and step dad were with us. But we drove the mountains a lot. Epic bike roads. For example: https://www.google.com/maps/dir/18.1489394,-66.1024243/18.0742547,-66.0542304/@18.1163121,-66.070667,13z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Been to PR twice, and have nothing but good things to say about it. Will be looking into renting a bike next time I go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jschaf Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 The roads I remember there were twisty all right, but narrow & frequented by kazoo exhaust honda civics that like to use rhe whole road.. Runoffs include thousand foot vertical drops into rainforest vegetation. Sounds like fun. Wish I had tbe time & the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rawlins87 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Nothing but good to say about puerto Rico too. Had a good time and would go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 On thing that really jumped out at me was the drivers. If you step off the curb...even jay walking....all the cars stop and wave you across the street. Any where else the drivers would speed up and try and hit you. It was very cool.

jschaf Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 What part of the Island did you visit. We stayed by Yauco on the southwest side & the drivers were only slightly less crazed than the drivers I experienced in India. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 We stayed in Old San Juan at the Sheraton right where the cruise ships dock. I found the drivers to be pretty good when we rented the car. They are inconsistent on speed, up and down..love the heck out of the left lane and do merge back over when passing way too close to your front bumper but over all better than most of what I see in the NE mainland.

motociclista Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I lived in Puerto Rico for eight years and never owned a car. I hated driving a car in Puerto Rico. I put over 60,000 miles on the three motorcycles I owned during that time, all on a 100-by-35-mile island. There are endless, super tight, usually bumpy blind-corner mountain roads. Great fun if that's your thing, and I enjoyed it. My wife is from the island so we go back every year. Unfortunately, it is not easy to rent a motorcycle there. Places come and go out of business. One time I was so desperate for a ride I rented a beat-up Chinese scooter. Got a good story out of it: http://www.ridermagazine.com/travel-features/a-scootour-of-puerto-rico.htm Some day when I have some money lying around and can find a place on the island to store it, I think I'll buy a lightweight bike to keep there, just to ride when I visit. I miss it that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
