    IABeachbum,try to rent a full size motorcycle.Bigger seat,tires and better suspension.Check out bike for adjustments,WORKING HORN,tire cond.,ect.If it looks like a rat bike it probably is.Not sure on the cost,its been a while since i have been back.I have been a biker for 40 years,and grown up on minnesota roads which are junk.jamaican roads can be interesting but nothing you haven't seen before.Grab a map and maybe another couple.Its not the destination,but the adventure getting there!!You see and smell the real Jamaica when out of the car.

    no, a scooter would be for short little trips. Furthest we ever went was Roaring River -- and my tush was killing me plus we broke down on the way home .... it was amazing how many locals stopped to help us out in the country. i guess that's the difference between the peeps in negril compared to USA or Europe -- they'll stop to help someone by the road every time.

    Rent a motorcycle would be scary unless you're a daredevil -- scooter is a bit dangerous, too -- because of the speed and pot holes in the road. The locals know were they are cause there are only two or three main streets ....

    the Pelical bar is more of a fun trip with a group of people. A single person hanging out at the Pelican Bar ??? Interesting, but MORE FUN with a group..

    All but one of my world travels have been in my own company. And after looking up the Pelican bar, I should see it. But hey, to each his/her own.

    You can rent a motorcycle from Banmark for $70/day - also at Prento on the beach but not sure of the price there. We're talking a Honda Shadow, which if you are planning on riding to the south coast (where YS falls is) I'd recommend over a dirt bike (175-225 cc) or a moped.

    Food? Ya interested in food? Well - if you are going to YS, make sure you seek out UJ & Aunties One Stop in Middle Quarters for the BEST Pepper Shrimp!!! My mouth waters just thinking about it.

    Other day trips to consider - Blue Hole in Brighton, Abeokuta, and Venture River.

    Thanks rasta. I did come across blue hole, but I cannot find Abeokuta on a map... although the pictures look incredible (as expected..). Where is it?

    Here is the blue hole close to Negril website, we have taken a scooter past this on the way to Little Bay - another place you may want to check out.
    Depending where you are going you may want to consider a dirt bike..some of the roads are rather beaten up.

    Here is something else you may want to check out

    Enjoy your trip...lots of really nice places if you head south ..bluefields bay, treasure beach that would be a fun ride...and great food everywhere!

    On way to YS stop off and see the crocs at Black river, i find it better to be on the river by 10am if you can, as you will get more of a chance to see them around then.

    One little word of warning on Motorcycles, bike or scooters check the fine print of your travel insurance as you may not be covered if anything happens god forbid,
