Actually A couple of pointer's for that Guy in the pic,
1, He has forgotten his wife.

I've just got back from my honeymoon in Phuket, Thailand. We saw many families crammed onto scooters. Most I think was four, we were hoping to see five. We also saw dogs sitting in baskets on the front and a couple sitting on the seat in front of the driver with their front paws on the clocks.

We even saw a guy with a monkey holding onto his back! A couple of people had really young kids sitting on the front of the seat with their hands barely reaching the bars. We went for a jeep instead, as I didn't want gravel rash on my honeymoon (or on my new wife for that matter).

To be fair if the only transport you can afford is a moped, then you have to transport your family as best you can. Also despite the large number of scooters running around everyone seemed to be riding very safely, although with a disregard for signalling :). The only really dangerous riding I saw was from other tourists on hired R6s.

Didn't see any Monsters, but a lot of japanese harley clones, even a Valkyrie (is that spelt right?). Also a guy riding pillion carrying a door !

There was a good book at the airport called "Bikes of Burden" that was photgraphed in Vietnam, we'd spent all our money by then so I didn't buy it, but it had some great pictures of loaded down bikes, including one with about 4 dead pigs laying across it.

Great to be back on my bike today, only me though left the family at home.

Congrats and hope you had a brilliant time :)

Tried looking for that book on Amazon but no luck, must be a local little book or something :confused:

...you don't happen to have bumped into my w@nker of a hubby out there called Alan Chapman who works for a company called Ferry Speed/Profreight...he owes me money, big money :mad:

If/when I track him down I'll beat him senseless, get my money and treat myself to a brand new Monster 1000 :lol: :bunny:

Hi Chappers,

Nope didn't meet your husband, though that sounds like a good thing from what you say.

Bikes-of-Burden (http://www.bikes-of-burden.com/) is the website for the book. Just read there that the picture I saw of the some dogs in a cage on a bike were in fact on their way to a restaurant.... :eek:
