robert k Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Mike S, I will give you the benefit of a doubt but I almost had to call fake on the dump truck.....there is way to much tread on the tires for any truck I've seen in the RP. :mocking: Edited May 17, 2014 by robert k 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_whipster Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 those motors in the photos aren't even that full. They are only 5 people on one of the bikes, and 6 on the other one, and one of the 6, is a child. my best was 8, spotted as a passenger on a bus approaching Malaybalay, Bukidnon. That was a motor with a specially extended seat, and none of them were children. It looked like a worker's agricultural transport. I have even been one of 7 people on a motorcycle myself, although i was not driving it - you will almost never see me criticising Filipino drivers' ability. I would have no hope, of driving a motorcycle with 6 passengers on it, and i know it. it was dead funny actually. 6 of us were just about to set off, which i thought was plenty enough already, when at the very last second, somebody else got on and crouched down in front of the driver. And down the mountain for 14km we all of us went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic Mike Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 These people make me crazy with the way they ride on different modes of transport. I wonder sometimes if pictures were posted in regards to the accidents that happen when they ride like this, if they would still do it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My asawa says they look like Aetas from Pampanga ..... I do agree about the tread on the tires .... not sure just where the picture was taken got it else where :cheersty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they must get from place to place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
