Deliver THAT

Often we see things on the road here that leave us speechless. Here is one such sight. Who'd want to be a delivery driver for a nursery? The motorbike is only 50cc, and let's be honest, it's seen better days. It has a large wooden tray attached on the back upon which these huge pots are loaded, 4 in all. They are as heavy as they look -- imagine the balance and control issues on such a crap machine with such a stupidly heavy load. Credit to the driver hey? He's got skills.

Here's a better looking machine with a different kind of load. My friend from the Raiders, Gerald, is the owner of this bike which has the only sidecar I've ever seen in Vietnam. On Saturday night I bumped into him and his cargo -- one more German on the back and two wives in the pod. Sweet.
