Crap on Bikes

People here have an uncanny ability to shove more crap than you'd think humanly possible on a tiny little motorbike. Of course the best ones - say a 180 kg refrigerator (for those of you who aren't being forced to use the metric system that's about 400 lbs), about 20 full grown pigs or a real, dead cow - are always impossible to catch with the camera. Here's a few that I have managed to get.

Desperate times calls for desperate measures.
Through these desperate times, people develop unique skills which in a developed country would be very rare to find.
For most people, Viet Nam is still a quite desperate country, why else would they risk safety doing what they do?

It is unreal what you can see on a motorscooter. I like to watch in the morning when the kids are being taken to school. The ones being feed or dressing on the scooters. The best are the ones sleeping. My son has slept on a few trips. Amazingly not that many accidents for the numbers of scooters out their. Couldn't happen in the states.
