...58 men riding on a single motorbike.
The stunt was performed by Tornadoes, a motorcycle display team of the army's logistics arm, Army Service Corps.
Dressed in the colours of the Indian flag, they flanked either side of the moving 500 cc Royal Enfield, covering a distance of 1.2 km at Yelahanka Air Force Station in southern Bengaluru city.
The act was performed for the Guinness Book of World Records, Limca Book of Records and Unique World Records, according to local media.
"There are three riders who take charge," Major Bunny Sharma explained.
"First is the rider himself...
"Second is the balancer...
"...third one is the navigator..."
...
The team pulled off the stunt successfully on the third attempt, after a rigorous training for six months, including a strict diet to maintain their weight. Research for the stunt began in 2013.

The Thais do this every day to get to work, etc. and they’re not trying to set a record.

You’d think they could be doing something more productive all those years.

Another part of the Indian Army set the previous record with 56 men.
I guess this is kind of an internal rivalry and it shows what a good bike the Indian made Royal Enfield is.

India has been setting records for how many people can ride on the outside of a train, too. It's rather dangerous:

OK, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been on a cycle.
I’ll need a helmet and some body armor and some training wheels.
