Negril busy season is short already, things like this keep happening, places like Cuba, will become an attractive alternative, as it's low in crime, and the U.S. are starting regular commercial flights in the fall.
I love Jamaica, theres no other place you can really compare it to, but something better be done , the way those bikes are driven, crazy, fast, and makes for a quick getaway, almost making
it impossible to catch these people. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe a big majority of the crimes this past couple of years have involved bikes
Jojo,

We agree with you about the bikes - they are a menace in many ways. There was another motorcyclist funeral yesterday in Red Ground. Many more people are dying from the bikes in Negril than crime.

But Lisa and I both had to respectfully laugh at your "no police presence" comment - in April we saw so many undercover police on the beach, they had even wandered in during the Boardie Bash to see what was going on! (grin)
