This whole “travel idea” began, because of “those

people” who told me that I’m crazy to “drive in Israel”! ?

that was when I first arrived on Aliya – on 31 Oct 1999.

SO my mission or (mishugass) — is that I want to drive on “every road”

and visit “every place” [where permitted]? on my scooter.

Every direction, NEWS = [north.east.west.south],

and (during the rain-season in a cheap-rent-car.)

Most of my trips are spontaneous, and a few have been “planned”!

and its ongoing and going-on and must NEVER end.

Louis and his scooter

Hi, I live in Netanya and ride all around Israel on a scooter, and have

some interesting numbers to play with:-

I am 1 single male, riding a 2 wheel

scooter for more than 5 years now,

I have been to 4 seas, the Kinneret, Med, Red and Dead

and now the numbers jump -

I have travelled more than 80,000 kilometers,

[yes EIGHTY THOUSAND] kilometers,] on a

50 cc scooter,[ my sixth now].

I reckon I take 2 minutes to ride 1 kilometer SO I’ve sat on the saddle

for 160,000 minutes and each minute I’ve seen at least 2 nice “things”

SO thats about 320,000 nice things??

Has anybody out there seen 320,000 nice things lately ??

1 question: -is about 500 birds flying = to ONE “thing”
OR 500 “things” ?

or a herd of 100 camels = 1 thing ??

I have been to hundreds of ”places”, and spoken to thousands of people, and add to the millions of experiences.

I have been on ”all-sorts” of roads, excellent highways, back roads,

sand roads and tracks.

I have seen hundreds of good petrol-stations, many with coffee-shops, and little supermarkets attached.

I have seen thousands of good drivers, YES a few BAD ones as well.

By the way, more than 15 other scooter riders have said they want to ride with me —

NONE have as yet !

SO, as 1 male on a 2 wheel scooter – I continue…..

Anybody out there who wants to read more, e.mail louisdrinkingt@013.net

    2. I’m coming to Israel for a one month visit. Do you know where I can get a good map of Tsfat, Jerusalem, the Old City, the country.

    Also, do you know where I can rent a scooter? I’d like to scoot around Tsfat and Jerusalem.

    Thanks,

    Phil

    3. I hope you will enjoy your visit.
    The best maps are from each individual iriya (municipality) offices.

    Only in Eilat you may find a scooter rental place.
    but if you want to rent a car, feel free to email me,
    and I will point you to a very rreasonable and efficient rental company.

    Lou.
