Nice police.
I get stopped by cops, they just check my documents match the bike and that is it.

I can not tell you how many stories of police corruption and bribery I've heard, the federal, municipal and even transport cops having a go... So far they have been nothing but helpful.

My lovely host explains the US set up a deal with an Arts University here as a way of providing rehab for the Vietnam vets. Strong ties to the US remain

After this I'm going to the big city, apparently everyone that goes has been mugged, every biker stopped by cops, and the traffic is suicidal...
