Incredible. Thanks for the pictures.
Seeing those folks go across that broken bridge was breath taking. Those were not branches below but the tops of trees!
It's interesting how the Chinese use the motorcycle for all sorts of transportation usage.

Remember car apologists posting here to the effect that some people can't give up their cars because they have a dog they can't carry a large bag of dog food on a bike?

Simply amazing. And to think I was complaining about not being able to carry my scroll saw on my bike. Sheesh.

Good pics!
I run into recycle guys all the time --- sometimes playing chicken with them on the road.
I win.
Toured through Canada couple years ago and this abomination was riding the other way. You could not see his bike, other then the handlebars and a portion of the front wheel --- otherwise it was covered in black garbage bags and he was a wiiiiiiiiiiiide load moving down the highway too! One of those times where I'm riding and you call the others you're traveling with attention to the guy and you laugh and ------- dam it, forgot to take a picture

I have seen:
Two men on a 125 motorcycle, with a fridge freezer sat between them on the seat, and the passenger was holding a 25kg propane bottle in one hand.
A child riding a bicycle so much too large that he had to step THROUGH the frame.
Two men on a motorcycle. The front one with an intravenous drip in his arm, the back one holding the bag above his head.....

I am sure you wouldn't get thrown in jail (in the USA or other western country)for transporting an infant in a laundry basket on your moped.

Proof that all you need are two wheels and a couple of watts to move anything.
