When the crimpe pays a lot, is it worth the risk of time?


Question Posted Friday October 13 2006, 4:17 am

I ride a hayabusha, and they made me this offer for a job. Ride 7 hours normal speed to the boarders of Albania, take some stuff and ride back. And when I mean stuff, I mean illegal stuff. Now they say that there is zero risk involved and of course I know there is no guarentee but I know it is pretty safe. On the big highways there are cops only during day on weekedns when all people driving, not at 3 o clock in a Wednesday morning. I am not going to provoke or anything, normal speed, only if I have to I am going to run away, and where I am from, you do run away from cops with a hayabusha.
Your personal opinion:
A)Is the risk worth the shit load of money offered to me?
B)Riding at night on the biggest highway, does that look suspicious? On weekends, there might be a lot of cops and they are only there to write speeding tickets, not search cars for...stuff.
I dont need the money, but its a lot. I believe that even the tiniest slightest smallest amount of risk is not worth it at all,but if you think about it, I take risks all the time, every single day, deciding to go out on the street to buy eggs and milk is a risk cause you might end up hit by a car or something. Anyways, I just dont know and I am becoming obssesed with the idea. I ll probably do it.

You already sounded as though you were starting to justify the risk, so I wasn't surprised when I read the last sentence "I'll probably do it". If you've made up your mind, why ask this question?

But anyways...if this is purely a one-time deal then the risk might very well be slight. But if this turns into a regular run then your risk goes up dramatically. Of course, saying no to another run after already doing it once can be dangerous, depending on who you are dealing with - that in and of itself is reason enough for me to say 'no' to these kinds of things.

The problem with this, as 'Money versus Risk', is that if you do get caught, you probably wont get paid either. And heaven forbid if your friends with the package get angry and want to take the cost of the package, when the police confiscate it, out of your skin. And add in the fact that, they simply could be pissed at you for being caught in the first place...

As far as I am concerned, there are better ways to make money, legally.
