renting scooters ?

[Garv816]

Any info on renting scooters and cruisin' around the island? Not sure yet what we are going to do, just feeling out ideas. TIA

I'm also interested in renting scooters on Grand Caymans. We'll be on Mariner, and we'll dock at Georgetown. Any advice on WHERE to rent scooters very near the pier?

 

Thanks.

I recommend not

even if you ride a Harley every day of the week, you are probably not experienced with

 

a) driving on the left

b) island drivers (Cayman is better than most islands but still not like home)

c) underpowered, underbraked and questionably maintained bikes

d) lots of sand patches for extra lubrication...tourists hopping off sidewalks forgetting about left side drivers..."look at that" distractions...and let's not forget the tmptation of an island libation....

 

If you fall and are lucky you just get to experience a vacation or road rash. If not lucky....

 

I did it in my youth .... 'twas dumb.... since that time had to send too many folks home busted up from their 'fun'

Good to know...missed that thread. I think we'll be doing something else on the island. Perhaps lay on the beach and eat rum cakes instead.;) Thanks for the info!
