Should I get a car and driver?

Re: Motorbike in Tripoli....
If you really wanna ride, consider buying in the ME. Bikes are cheaper here and 2nd hand bike are becoming better value. However, this is not Europe/USA. Riding here requires different skills, even in UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Tripoli is another story! get settled then decide but don't let the nay-sayers put you off. Ride the roads if you can.
keep it rubber side down!

Re: Motorbike in Tripoli....
Fantastic. I kind of had intended playing it by ear anyway....rode my bike around Cairo for a few months and no accidents. Thanks for the encouragement.
