It's a pretty exhilarating, I mean, full speed ahead with no helmet? Riding something that can kill you in a nasty way with no helmet? Pretty insane.
Also I now ride like the local girls, side saddle. Yep. Not even holding on properly, sometimes holding on to two or three bags instead of holding on for dear life.
The other day the power was out because of an incoming storm and I got to ride in total darkeness - except for the bike's headlight - side saddle and with lightning above in the sky. Betcha you never did that!
My most recent experience with a motorbike taxi was having the driver fart all the way down the hill. You know, for speed...

As the older one, I should probably scold you.
But 'cause I probably would have done the same, so I won't... this time.
The safer one.
