He looks a very resourceful man. Reminds me of me when I use to ride my bike back from my allotment overloaded with shopping bags full of vegetables.
ReplyDeleteRiding with one hand in mid august traffic is not wise. But it happens all the the time.
DeleteWasn't Evel Knievel was it?
ReplyDeleteHis brother 'Stupie'!
DeleteNo helmet, and a loaded scooter. Hopefully, he makes it to his destination with no interference.
ReplyDeleteThey all overload scooters here but there really is a lot of traffic now and most of the drivers are city slickers and don't where they're going. Not a good combo
DeleteHe's not part Korean is he? They do nutty loads like that on small motorbikes.
ReplyDeleteThis one is from one of those countries up on the northern border. But they all overload here. Just wish I could get some decent photos of them
DeleteSafety. Who needs safety lol
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it never entered his head that he might be an accident in the making
DeleteIf he'd been in India he'd have managed another 20.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I've seen those incredible photos
ReplyDeleteNot a good idea, but not as bad as you see in Vietnam and Cambodia!
