So staying in BBK for 2 nights and then down to Patong for 12 days.
We are interested in renting out a motorbike to go around the island.
Just to do stuff for the daytime besides lying on the beach or by the pool for the whole time.
We all have full car licences but none of us have any experience with motorbikes so im wondering
1) Is this a really bad idea?!? One of us being killed/mangled would probably put a bit of a damper on the holiday.
Did a search of the forum for motorbike stuff and it sounds a bit crazy!
Obviously because we have no experience with bikes we would be taking it pretty easy/being careful but am I just
being a bit optimistic.
2) Does anyone have any suggestions on any cool places to go see around the island if we did do this?
Thanks!

Noway...Welcome to the boards. So when are you heading out to LOS? Lots of info contained throughout the forums to help you out a great deal on your first trip. So just read a lot.
Motorbike...If your not an experienced seasoned rider then no I wouldn't recommend you do it. I'm very comfortable on a bike in Patong but have been riding for 30 years. And yea...a little sense of humour..."being killed or mangled in a accident would indeed but a damper on your holiday...5555555
