  1. Get well and I am pleased to see the driver was there. On a separate note why is the police not doing anything regarding these bicycles that have been converted and become motorised. Is this legal? I know as recently as last week the authorities in St Kitts have been clamping down on this seizing bikes. And please don’t come with give “poor man” a break.

    • Law states that all motor vehicles should be insured and licensed. We cannot have total control over something with a motor /engine. So, we put a motor on a bycicle, that bycicle becomes a motor vehicle. It is new territory and I think all the Police Departments in the region are looking at this issue. Not sure if any one has made that decision yet.

  2. WHEN WILL THIS JOKEY GOVERNMENT SEE THE NEED TO PATCH BACK THE GAPS THEY HAVE CREATED ON FACTORY ROAD. IT IS AFFECTING TRAFFIC FLOW. ESPECIALLY THE ONE CLOSE TO THE ROUND ABOUT BY SPrOGOOS. THE TRAFFIC NATURALLY WILL BACK BY A ROUND ABOUT ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON BUT BECAUSE Of THE TRENCHES IT BACKS UP EVEN MORE. THERE CAN’T BE ANY CONFIDENCE IN THIS JOKEY GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE THEY HIRE. LET’S GET RID OF THEM AT THE FIRST SiTTING OF PARLIAMENT.

    MC BURNIE YOU LIKE TO STAR ON CAMERA RIGHT AT THAT ROUNDABOUT DON’T YOU REALISE HOW THE TRAFFIC IS AFFeCTED BECAUSE Of THE TRENCH BY POLICE GROUND? MOTORISTS ARE CRYING OUT. HELP US MEANINGFULLY AND STOP STARING ON CAMERA AND RADIO.

  3. Prayer for the PAINED.

    • Enjoying your poetic prowess @Mystic, if you ever get a chance, you must read the ‘Poems’ of the Caribbean poet Martin Carter.

      Your rhymes and reasonings reminds me a lot of his work …👍

  4. @Ron……I recently went to the Transport Board to do some business and there was gentleman trying to license a small ATV for his 5yr old son since he drives it on the road in front of his house. Someone told him that because it’s a motorized vehicle (even though small) it would be best to get it done. He was told that the motor size was to small for it to be licensed. So NO, not every motorized vehicle including bikes, scooters and small cars can be licensed.
