You cant fit 3 people on a vbb! Not even a dog!

Great. We'll be just like Asia and the many developing nations where you'd see a family and animal all piled onto a single scoot.

Dont forget the rear rack has 10 feet tall piles of crop tied down to the bike too.

Then there is this idea.

Or this from a man in the US.Bajaj power!

He writes:

I had my engineer friends weld up a custom steel trailer and hitch ball bracket to 5 solid mounting points on the rear of the Legend, and it pulls the nifty little trailer almost effortlessly. The heavy duty metal construction, powerful engine and real gears instead of the usual slip prone drive belt make this the perfect "Sport Utility" vehicle for my Beachside lifestyle. Damien Esmond

Eric, you ain't kidding. I was in Vietnam in 2006 and saw TWO guys riding 2 up on a scoot with a 27" flat-screen TV strapped to the back. TV was still in the box.

Old punch line to an Aggie joke: "When it gets hot, I can roll the window down!"

OK! I'm just sayin...

The piggy-backing dog wins the giggle-out-loud prize in this set of pics.

Thanks!!!

Every one of the pictures posted probably exceed the weight limit of the bike.

But heck, you cant go fast in a third world country, with so many people, and so little space, the top speed you'd ever do is 20mph, and with 500 pounds more than you're supposed to carry on a bike, your top speed will be 20.

Ever been to Asia? They haul ass on those things. When cars are at a standstill, scooters buzz around 'em like flies, weaving through traffic, around pedestrians, whatever. It's kind of amazing and insane.

You're absolutely right and the amazing thing is, it works! There's rarely any accidents and those that do happen are for the most part, minor. It's like a symbiotic existence between the scooters, cars, pedestrians and various animals. When I first went to Taiwan, it took me half a day just to cross the street. After awhile, I just started walking knowing that while I weaved inbetween everything moving, they were doing the same thing around me. It's like being a rock in a stream, the water just flows around you.

And I wouldn't consider Taiwan (nor Hong Kong, China, India, etc.) a third world country...

Me neither! The pics I posted were from all over the world, including some 3rd World countries... I think... I lost track.

Wow! And m family thinks I'm crazy for wanting to take my scooter to the golf course with my clubs and golf bag hanging on my back!

In some of these places, I might even be expected to pick up a hitchhiker!
