There are at least 4 viable shoulders upon which another rider could sit.

"The driver will also find stopping difficult.

When you stop on a motorbike, you have to put your feet down to balance the bike and keep it upright.

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."


Apparently not.

They do not do it to save on dipers. They do it because they strongly believe it is much more sanitary to 'let loose' than taping plastic sht-sacks to the childs skin until someone has time to change/clean the child.

if that is the case, then they would all be letting their kids walk around naked in the house.

this might be true, but my ex had an aunt that let their 3 and 4 year old run around naked. This was, of course, to save money on
a drug habit, but that isnt very p.c.

biffstallion: I did a story on this nonsense:

what nonsense? It's a pretty practical vehicle for driving in India. Crappy hyper crowded roads keep you below that speed anyway, labor is so insanely cheap that repairing dings to sheet metal is easy and next to free. I'd spring for the AC though.

the idea that every car needs a top speed of 120mph is a very american thing.

Nothing Sweeter Than Redneck Tears: the idea that every car needs a top speed of 120mph is a very a totally awesome, american thing.

You ARE right though. And the truth is that we seldom use the extra power. I have a motorcycle rated to go 160+ mph, maybe 170. I will never see that. I can count on both hands the number of times it's been over 100. We just like having the power there if we need it.

Not really:

Speaking of germans though, they also have the only bike that could easily handle a largish family like one of those pictured in this thread. I think this should become the default mode of transportation for everybody. It's called the SdKfz 2, and with a name like that its future success is guaranteed.

NightOwl2255: ga362: How much pressure would you need in your tires?

The same as with one rider. Load doesn't change tire pressure.


But your tire pressure should be changed depending on the load being carried. Read the book Proficient Motorcycling, it explains things like this.

A "must read" for all potential motorcyclists.

And wear a white helmet.

My apologies, I meant, I did a story on how whole families ride on a moped and that the Tata car, although not considered safe by American road standards, is MUCH BETTER than what they are doing now in India....

No doubt. I love how slow Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, Porsches, BMW, and Mercedes are. They barely go the speed limit.

Perhaps they used to have more, but hit some potholes.

The picture of the duck makes me sad. Poor things either get a crick in their necks or have their beaks sanded off by asphalt.

In Spain, I've seen 5 on a moped, plus the dog and a bag of groceries, on a regular basis.
 
2009-04-29 08:41:32 PM
Personal best I saw was 5, but I have seen multiple dogs and even a few Golden Retrievers in like years in Thailand.

I've seen stuff like this for years and years.
But what I've never seen is an accident involving one of these scooter families.

Now, teenage boys riding solo? That's a death waiting just around the corner.
 
2009-04-29 09:52:56 PM
Feh. I've seen a family of 13 illegals get out of an extended cab (not 4-door) pickup -- 6 adults, 7 kids. None riding in the bed.

Solved! How a family of eight can travel from A to B... all die in a pile of flaming wreckage on the way to the grocery store...
