63. In Asia...

So... the Mr and I just got back from our holiday in Asia and boy, the things people carry on their motorcycles really did amaze me. It's one thing to hear people say it but it's a totally new experience seeing it first hand.

1) 5 people on a little Honda

2) A food stall attached to a motorbike

3) A live pig on the backseat with the pig flipped on its back.... seriously! How did they even manage to get the pig in that position? Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a snapshot of this but if you go to google images and search "siem reap pigs on motorcycle" you'll see what I mean

4) A live cow being towed by a little Honda - Again, no photo of this but if you imagine a cow instead of sacks in the make shift tow box

5) 3 Queen size mattresses somehow attached to the rear seat of a tiny tiny motorcycle!

They even have motorcycle taxis in Thailand! You gotta love that especially in the bumper to bumper traffic. It can be somewhat scary sitting side saddle without helmet and gear though!

I guess this is it for 2012!! RIDE SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!

T and I will be back in the New Year with new bikes hopefully pretty soon so stay tune! If all goes well, perhaps a new website where we'll both be blogging together so you guys actually get to see some of T's more exciting rides and some of his gear reviews which would probably suit the majority of the riding population! ;)
