The 'Zoom-zoom-motorcycle-doom' Syndrome

It's a bird....it's a plane....no, it's lunatic Greek driving a motorcycle - watch out!!! These zinging hillbilly half-wits think that they govern all the roads that they drive on and that there is a golden carpet laid out for them wherever it is that they go. Whatever space exists between cars or people -however narrow it may be- you need to be aware of their presence because they're bound to zing their way like buzzing flies next to you(or right by you). Also know that if you're a pedestrian minding your own business and walking along a sidewalk, and you happen to see a motorcycle coming at you, don't be alarmed - they're just following their own road signs, specifically custom tailored just for them.
If you accidentally touch them(or hit them in an accident) while you are driving, or bump them while they are stationary, a word to the wise - never pretend that you didn't see them or that you're in the right and they're wrong. You might get them(if they're still alive) jumping on your car or dragging you out of the driver's seat and kicking you in public(Ok, maybe I over-exaggerated a bit); avoid any obscene/profane gestures or verbal attacks cause they'll be sure to pull up next to your window and let all hell break loose. In addition, be aware of the infamous purse/bag snatchers. They're equipped with everything they need to get their job done, and leave you guessing as to how they opened your door or broke your window while you were driving. And then finally there's the daisy-chain armada of harley-like gangs that sweep the roads of Athens. They clutter the streets and sidewalks with their all-encompassing display of 'macho-nacho-look-at-me-i'm-cool' bravado that tends to either get them killed, or has them creating a stir amongst passerbys.
