Unusual transport

Out here transport is something else. Trucks with bald tyres are common place. it will get changed when it explodes. and explode the do as most are over inflated.
A motor cycle with 6 people aboard is the norm here also.
Just a little north from here they use skylabs which is a Honda 155cc motorcycle with two cross bearers fitted with 4 seats on wither side of the bike. i have seen one of these with 9 passengers doing a 20 kilometer run up into the mountains complete with the days shopping aboard.
Some of the Busses are a joke too with gaping holes in the bodywork, Passengers on goats on the roof sometimes. I followed one down the highway a couple of days ago and the bach axle was so far out of line he was crabbing sideways as he slowed it straightened up a bit. But when he put his foot down hard to accelerate he needed both lanes.
