Motocycle travelling in nairobi city is suicidal,i would ride but ive lost a few pals .Motorists seem not to respect motorcyclists in kenya you have to be brave. Plus the council has restrictions on PSV motocycles in the city center.....

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,but that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us.There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.As we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,our presence automatically liberates others.
