My brother undertook a similar endeavour to what you planned - renting a motorcycle in Vietnam with no previous experience riding one. He came off it on a mountain road and was very lucky to not go over the side OR under the oncoming truck that had spooked him off it in the first place. He took off all the skin down one side of his body though. If you want to ride a motorbike, learnt to ride a motorbike. No matter which country your in, the law typically requires this much of you | |

May 5, 2013 at 8:58 | comment | added | Saaru Lindestøkke | @ThorstenS. I appreciate your concern, but I don't see how this is relevant to my question. I didn't mention anything like "how safe is it to ride a motorcycle in Bolivia", so please stay on topic. You've answered the question to the extent of your knowledge on this topic, thank you for that. If I have concerns about the road safety in Bolivia I will ask a separate question and this will give you an opportunity to show your knowledge on the safety there, but it's not the time yet. | |
May 4, 2013 at 23:51 | comment | added | Thorsten S. | You have no road experience in Bolivia which has a traffic fatality rate per vehicle which is 20-30 times higher than in the EU, you have no experience with a motorbike which increases the likelihood to be killed or maimed by the factor 7 if you are experienced, but you "have thought of that and understand the risks involved". Rrrrright. To optimize your fun do not forget to rent a Kawasaki Ninja with 1200 cc. And for the ultimate adrenaline rush use your T-Shirt and Jeans which is a) cool and b) gives you an incentive to prevent falling because you know it will rip your skin off. | |

May 3, 2013 at 23:07 | comment | added | DJClayworth | How much experience of riding a motorbike do you have, and why don't you have a license to drive on in your home country? | |

May 3, 2013 at 15:49 | comment | added | Gagravarr | For those who maybe don't know the European license codes - are you allowed to ride a motorbike in your home country on that license? | |
