It has to be seen to be believed...

Just got back from Mallorca at 3am this morning, and last Friday we hired a car to go to Palma. On the way back to our hotel, we spotted what has to be the most idiotic thing to do on a scooter:

Nah, seen much worse on a scooter... Like a whole family of five clinging on to one in Portugal, or all the greek girls on the pillion seat, riding side saddle... Scooters are definitely a law unto themselves

One of those traffic cop shows, there was a bloke on a scooter with a 3M plank of wood across the back of the bike - in the UK too.

I've given the odd young lady in a skirt a ride side saddle

There's a particularly fine photo on t'interweb somewhere of what happens if they sit properly

I was riding through reading this week only to be nearly hit by a cyclist carrying what looked like a child's swing filtering through traffic... did he stop at the red light... no.

One of my mates, lets call him Bob, studiously avoids wearing bike clothing because it interferes with his sense of freedom. "Anyway, I ride more carefully without leathers," explains Bob.

Bob decides to transport his parapent to the back of his CBR ...

... funnily enough, he only tried undertaking this form of shute transportation once ...

... obviously, the shute opened whilst he was doing about 80 on the dual carriageway

And the moral of this story is, however tempted you may be, never mix your parapent with a CBR.
