It's like that asian family that was driving along and saw a sign that said "Maximum 25" so they stopped and let two people out.

Why do they need the bucket?.

I like how the article points out that it would be more dangerous if they were driving in the rain. Because nobody would know if they hadn't have told us that...

How much pressure would you need in your tires?

Somebody post the pic of the daredevil cops that would do a pyramid on a harley.

I'm surprised they didn't let us know that it'd also be harder to drive the bike with no tires, or with no gas in the tank. Not everyone will realize these useful tidbits of information.

If being broke is 'saving on gas', then being poor is 'eating light'.

When you don't have access to cheep cars, this sort of thing happens.

Pretty common sight in India from what I understand, hence the invention of the Tata Nano.

Because we're blind to their tyranny.

How can you tell when Asians are moving into your neighborhood?

All the Mexicans get car insurance.

Sin_City_Superhero: CygnusDarius: Why do they need the bucket?.

The bucket was taken from an elephant seal, and now they carry it with them wherever they go as a testament to their wile and bounty. Joke's on them: that elephant seal actually died... of a broken heart.

This is a crazy set-up that mom and pop have devised here. You'd think that if they were this crafty and ingenious, they'd be able to figure out how to use a condom.

Has the bike been modified in any way? I suppose I'm impressed that the bike's suspension can handle that.

ga362: How much pressure would you need in your tires?

The same as with one rider. Load doesn't change tire pressure.
 
2009-04-29 11:49:52 AM

But the weight of seven other people on the bike will be too much for the driver to support on his own, so the adults will have to put their feet down also at any stoplight.


Bollocks. The weight isn't the issue: the issue is the location of the center of gravity and its position relative to the line at which the motorcycle would pivot (i.e. a line connecting the contact patches of the front and rear tires). If the CG and the pivot are aligned, the pilot can hold the bike vertical with very little effort.

(If the bike starts to tip, he might very well be proper fooked.)

Can I cue the 'that's racist' kid if he's black, and we're discussing Asians and Mexicans?

There was never a better photograph to serve as evidence in the need for culling the human population on Earth.

Indians are the hands down kings of piling people on a scooter. Five minutes on the streets of Mumbai will show you scooter stuff like you wouldn't believe.

Did you really just quote Geechy Guy? I saw him perform in baltimore longer ago than I like to admit. I even bought a commemorative sponge.

Reminds me of the days when we would pile a small army into my buddy's two seater hardtop MG. After any ride longer than 15 minutes we would have to perform chiropracty on each other in order to uncrumple.

Hey, places to go and whatnot.

You're always supposed to have a bucket when you ride a motorcycle. It's the law.
