photos the st maarten drag racer, rider. Motorcycling is a dangerous sport in St Maarten

Motorcycling, racing, drag racing etc are very popular sports in St Maarten. However St Maarten is too small for these races, therefore they are done illegally, usually very early on a Sunday morning. There are many bikers in St Maarten. There's even a Harley Davidson store in Cole Bay, and there are some cruise ships that allow their passengers to bring their motorcycles along, so that they can tour the islands on their own "hog". There is a lack of mutual respect between the riders and the automobile drivers. There are many accidents every year, and the blame goes both ways. Many riders have lost their lives doing dangerous stunts, some have been hit by cars, others fell victim to St Maarten's inconsistent roads. Illegal drag racing continues in St Maarten, unregulated, and many continue to lose their lives. The government appears more concerned about making sure their "cock fighting" remains legal, and their brothels remain open, rather than the lives of the riders in St Maarten.
