Back in the US, motorbikes and scooters are only used as transportation for 1-2 people. But it seems like people in Southeast Asia have realized more of their full potential.
So, what can you put on a motorbike?
A family of 3 and all their groceries,
several bicycles,
A whole bunch of pillows and blankets,
And yes, even a family of five. It’s amazing what can be accomplished when you’re not overly concerned with things like safety!

no joke ! Look at those crazy people. They’re riding without burning their headlight !!
Well, I guess that’s one way to “all go down together!”
Thats not just in Asia you also see that in other areas in The Middle East as well.. but not with there whole family.. I guess also poverty plays a role in all this too..
