As i agree that it does look third world, onthe other hand i want to give the benefit of where they came from. They are used to riding bicycles if you can remember. Now, as a developing country, i will give them the credit of buying motorcycles as a means of transportation. I mean, ccoming out, 34 years after the Vietnam War… at least give them that. We know better, yes… However, they also have plenty of room to learn… Vietnam isn’t really a rich country in terms of knowledge and they are just making their way there. Instead of mocking them, why not help in your own little ways.

Not to defend them, but they’re highly trainable. hehehe

Kissman01, my wife & I saw a delivery guy balance a tall stack of newspapers in front of him (from gas tank up to his chin) while riding along Makati ave. With is forced chin up to ‘hold’ the papers, it was agonizing to look at. ;)

No wonder it was voted #1 in Discovery Channel’s 10 Greatest Motorcycles!

You can just imagine what else they can carry on two wheels? The succeeding images have these bikes of burden carrying anything from multiple passengers, livestock, trays of eggs, construction materials, and even a shark!
