The appearance at every stop light appeared to be several thousand,? Well OK really? Hundreds of motor cycles / bikes either going in different direction or waiting for the light to change for the next huge "BLAST-OFF" Much like a race start line of unimaginable number of bikes each time! The scene was always like the start of the next "ORGAN DONORS OF HUMAN BEINGS!!!" :-) One could ever imagine! I figured with all these thousands and thousands of motor bikes, KL had to be the world capital for organ donors. Daily! One day I was a passenger in tandem, a tad wild but within moments all felt quite safe. Although there were a couple of scary moments before we returned to the Games HQ. However the Headman of Operations whom I was his adviser was livid the young lad had taken me out on his bike. Quite frankly the lad near got fired for doing so. I offered I wasn't the least bit scared........ "I lied about a couple of moments?" ;-) But given the number of wild and crazy bike riders........... well Ok it seemed that way?........ The availability of new organs must be enormous every day! Hey and I'm an old Harley rider ex-Military Police convoy directions and traffic control! And as a civilian after the war was over when I bought a brand new "Harley 45" War Surplus for $125.00 dollars still in the crate. All you had to do was prepare them for a "Civilian Life" on the streets of Toronto, Canada! Aaaaaaahhhhhhh those were the days of a youthful wild and crazy life! ;-) cheers, ted
