Motorcycle Riding in the Caribbean

Gliding down the highway or scenic back road on the back of a two wheeled motorized vehicle has a certain allure for many people. The sun on your back; the wind in your face and unrestricted views of the beautiful landscapes around you; all attribute of riding a motorcycle.

A new dimension has been added to the sport of motorcycle riding that will appeal to the adventurous side of the rider. Imagine riding your own motorcycle around one of the exotic islands of the Caribbean; taking in the swaying palms, the blazing white sands of the beaches and the gentle surf breaking upon them. Considering the only means of reaching the islands by over the seas, how could this happen?
