The state governor has banned “Commercial” motorbikes from the main roads connecting the Islands in Lagos. Anyone want to join a “NotoBikeBans” campaign of civil disobedience?
We could ride round a roundabout and make lots of noise in the mornings, but best be on our way before the police turn up to shoot us :w00t:

I don’t think that bikes are a problem.
The ‘flyovers’ connecting Lagos are always jammed with 30 year old vans ,bashed to buggery, no lights at all (daylight MOT?), painted yellow with a tarbrush and full to the brim with unlucky passengers sweltering in the jam.
Imagine the Westway but 10 times as long with a permanent traffic jam.
But the ‘bus’ drivers are a dangerous lot and there are frequent fights between them and the Police so I guess the mayor doesn’t want to upset them - better to kick the bikers… sound familiar?

Lagos music at it’s best 
So things haven’t changed since 1982 when I went there with the family as a kid
I like Triang’s suggestion that they have an MOT:P
Wheeeyyyyy!
I ain’t messing with them…:w00t:

i go once or twice a year to see my old man and take it in my stride…
Catchy tune…I like that
When I left in 2005, that was * the tune* for me a few mates - we all now have paintings of a Lagos street scene with lots of Danfos…much respect to the guys that drive them all day - less so the owners who are too tight to properly service them.
Sadly, 40 died two weeks ago on said bridge when 2 Danfos were caught up in a ball of fire…
That’s the thing with Lagos in my experience, a wonderful place that constantly scares the **** of you.
