Gathered below are photos of some of these two-wheeled performances from recent years.

You older folks, I mean more mature folks, may remember the Royal Enfield motorcycle brand. Now made in India, a review of their latest bike gave it very high marks for build quality. Too often you see a vintage name that was sold, and then you get low quality, but not in this case.

I presume the man in the lower front would be the spokesperson for the group.

In places like LA, you can spot these foreign nationals quickly...You’ll be in line somewhere and these people will literally stand right on top of you in line, literally breathing down your neck. Gak~

Minor rant here, been on cruise ships with them. Buffet no Siracha sauce at condiment spot, look around and one of them has whole bottle of sauce at their table. Elevators, Chinese rush on elevator when door opens don’t wait for anyone to get off, British and German passengers offended enough to say something. I guess I am some old Texas guy that hold’s a door open for a lady and says thank you to anyone doing something for me.

The most I ever saw in Vietnam in the 60s was 4 girls on a Honda 50.

And why I don’t go on cruise ships...

When I want to get away, the thought of jumping on a giant floating apartment building, jammed with 6,000 obnoxious loud tourist, has the same appeal for me as a rattlesnake bite.
