    i usually give 20 pesos anytime... They kind of get mad when you try to offer 10 pesos even though dominicans pay 10 pesos for the same ride

    20 is standard now, even though they'll try to milk you for more. Just look at them like they're crazy.

    I just give them the 20 and don`t turn back. Just keep on walking, that way they don`t have a chance to argue.

    YES! I like his idea!

    If I ever get a car down there I want stickers made up. Oval size, kind of like a smaller version of the European country stickers with a moto silouite and a red circle with a big line through it, as if crossing it off. Put one on for each moto I run over!

    What's wrong with motoconchos? Why the fuck would you want to run them over? They're just poor folks trying to make a living by fulfilling a need. Do you want to run over NY subway drivers too?

    You were lucky not to have met me then

    Rick, as you prob well know up till about 6 months ago the concho's where driving like crazy, on unsafe bikes and trying to rip off anybody left, right and center...

    In January 2006 AMET started policing them a lot tougher on driving behavior, vehicle safety and drugs/alcohol..

    As a reslut the Motoconjo road-rage has calmed down significantly and I would now actually recommend using a trusted concho again.. but it was out of control before that.. that's why when driving I just paid them no heed and they always gave me right of way (they still do)..

    I don't know about Sosua, but in Santo Domingo, they have put a dent in the motorbike population.
    There hasn't been a time I have driven through Santo Domingo that I havn't seen the AMET guys pulling over and confiscating motorbikes for lack of documentation. They are easy to spot: you see a couple of AMET cops and a flatbed truck full of motorcycles.
    They are literally taking hundreds of bikes off the street.
    If you think it's love try not paying in the morning..

    It is the same thing.. as a result they now drive better moto's, don't drink that much and actually are back to a decent transport service instead of courting death anytime you get on one..

    Granted, I haven't been to sosua yet (22 DAYS AND A WAKEUP!!) and I don't know what a MotoConch looks like (is it 3 wheels w/ a double wide seat behind driver??) but if the guy is taking you somewhere you don't want to go or not stopping when you ask, can't you just reach up and start choking the the crap out of him???

    just curious...
