Pasolas (scooters)
Pasolas are still available to rent in tourist towns, however a lot of things have changed since 1986.
There are nowhere near as many to be found, as the price of cars has come down so much that the car rental business is now the big business and 2 wheelers are a bit uncommon, The roads are a bit better and you can rent some of those wide tire scooters that get through the potholes a lot better than those old Honda Leads did with their tiny little tires. The downside is that now that the price of cars has come down, the roads are 100 times busier than they were in '86 and a scooter is rather slow for going down the highway, so if you do rent one, stay over to the right, watch your mirrors and make sure that your tail lights work.

Sure, if your tail lights work you will be in the top 50% of quality pasolas.
Man, I would sooner take public trans before driving one of those P.O.S's in the DR. I got 2 blowouts in November in my Isuzu Rodeo fer heavens sake. THey have holes big enough to lose the bike and never find the damn thing. When it rains you can't tell a hole from a puddle.
NO ONE I know has gotten a year in without cracking one up.

Can't argue with that
Unquestionably a dangerous form of transport, but if you are going to do it anyway, be careful.

Just got back from a week on the north coast. I have been on bikes for over 20 years and I wouldn't even drive a car down there if I could avoid it. Just not worth the risk for a weeks trip.
Mirrors???
Rocky,
what mirrors?
Oh, I see, the bathroom mirrors.
Before and after the accident.

Thanks so much for the responses. I assumed the area was different from 1986! Thanks....I assume bicycles are tricky, too, due to traffic.
