Lack of good roads coupled with heavy traffic in most cities had forced a lot of people to look for faster means to transport themselves. What come in handy are okadas (Motorbike) and aboboyaa ( Tricycle) as emergency transport service for quicker meet-time and delivery. With the reckless and lawless behaviour of some okadas and aboboyas riders on the roads of Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi, and even some other towns in Ghana, one is under the impression that they are above the law. They operate as if traffic laws were made for other road users and not them. I recently visited Bolgatanga, the capital of the Upper East Region, close to the border with Burkina Faso, and to my surprise motorist over there seem to obey traffic regulations and driving over there was fun. No reckless counter-crossing or heavy-handed driving. In most parts of the capitals, in Ghana, okadas and aboboyaas compete with heavy-duty trucks, high-capacity vehicles on the highways and even on main road lanes. One...

Okada satisfies the need for convenient facilitation now, especially with deliveries and evasion of heavy traffic for time-saving. Today, I’m talking about Honda’s newest motorcycle: the CB 500X. In this article, you’ll see what your money is worth for such a welcome motorbike; and yes, over the years of testing and riding several brands of motorbikes, I’ve realised that Honda’s motorcycles will blow your mind. These are the motorcycles/machines we look forward to. They might not be perfect, but you’ll remember them for a really very long while. Today, I present  the CB500X from Honda - a motorbike that promises  to ‘wow!’ many with its simplicity after a quick ride in town. Also, let me say that Honda has made the 500X’s appearance very attractive. It’s tall at the front, and it’s got a small, sharp beak and quite a tall windscreen; and also, Honda has kept the bodywork very simple. It’s nice and sober while giving a very good ride.  What can the picture attached to thi...

  Japan Motors Trading Company Ltd. (JMTC), the official distributor of Yamaha motorbikes, last week donated some of the new Yamaha AG125 motorcycles to the Greater Accra (G/A) Regional Coordinating Council in support of the ‘ Let’s Make Accra Work’ campaign. The new AG125 motorcycle is a compact-body machine, but it facilitates every movement and delivers from one destination to another. The new 4-stroke 125cc AG125 motorcycle is the latest addition to the AG family, and boasts excellent ride quality, durability, load-carrying capacity and economy for handling unpaved roads and tackling adverse conditions. Not only is it easy to fire-up the engine, its user-friendly controls and compact body size were designed with a variety of users in mind; from motorcycle beginners to professionals in the field. The AG125 has many features inherited from the AG100 before it. It fits well into a wide range of roles from fieldwork in rural areas with private and public institutions and general...
