Tony Lee, I have carefully read many of your posts and thus have great respect for your observations, your common sense and your perception of reality.

Many years ago, read 2007, when I laid down my first posts on the HUBB protesting the illegal forging of documents, I was inundated with cautions from those who had already posted for many years. The caution was - "don't waste your time, the majority of those who you respond to are an uneducated lot, uninterested in anyone or anything beyond their own limited horizons." "Most show little or no regard for the hard won rule of law that separates us from anarchy." "Most cannot even properly define anarchy or have ever conceptualized why there are laws."

And most harshly, were several statements that those who you protest because they are blatantly breaking the law and in some cases international law, are in a word, criminal, without the slightest remorse - and as Tony Lee has stated have very little understanding of the consequences their illegal actions might have on themselves and even less understanding or consideration of the consequences their illegal actions will have on others.

Thusly, I set about determining the reasoning of those who actively promoted the forging of documents - any legal document - irregardless of time and place or situation. Here is what I discovered.

Most of those who break the law do so because they truly believe everyone else is doing it. They see a successful man or woman and believe their success was stolen, that the only way to get ahead is to take advantage of others or society. This attitude is not innate in man, it is learned. Learned from those who surround the uninitiated in life's real experiences and teach the only way to survive is to lie, cheat and steal. These contra survival lessons are learned from that very small percentage of humanity - less than 5% who are truly evil without a social conscience - in clinical terms - sociopaths.

The 20% or so of humanity who have fallen victim to the real sociopaths are not all bad, not without a social conscience, they just value the real sociopath who has pretended to be their friend, even helped them survive, only to instill in them criminal behavior.

My message, hopefully understood, is to assure those who read here, that most people do not forge documents, that most people obey the law and that most people survive by good honest work. And, that most people are able to understand that governments have documents and laws for reasons that benefit the people.

It is true, that some laws are offensive, like the old laws permitting slavery, and laws that permit exploitation of workers etc, but laws that regulate the ownership of motorcycles or the entrance of motorcycles into foreign lands are not oppressive laws, they are laws designed to protect individual owners of motorcycles, the motorcycle industry of the country and indeed form the legal basis for which companies insuring motorcycle liabilities have base line statistics to determine insurance costs and benefits.

Any, repeat any forged document will null and void any insurance coverage purchased and without insurance, unless one is financial solvent - an accident involving personal injury or substantial property damage will land YOU in prison, possibly a foreign prison, until a judge determines if you are liable and if so until all liabilities are paid.

I have worked as a US Peace Corps volunteer, with the IRC and as a stringer for the LA times in Latin America. I have lived and worked in Latin America for more than 20 years. I have witnessed those condoning forgery of documents suffer at their own hand because they refuse to understand the consequences of their actions on themselves and on others.

I have hope, and I pray this thread might contradict the philosophy that life is only for entertainment - like some artificial action movie or some video game. Yes, life is a game, a game called survival and part of that game is helping others survive.

Stop forging documents now, for entertainment purposes or for any purpose and reach out and help someone else survive by making sure you have valid ownership of your motorcycle, you and your motorcycle are legally in country and your insurance is valid because it is based on real documents, not forgeries. Gracias Amigos. Un Abrazo!
