I've seen the pigs, in Vietnam.

I've had four people on a honda dream before (me + 3 girls) or worse was me + two large mates, offroad!

Lots of the locals on the Thai islands have converted their bikes to add a sidecar, for even more capacity. My mate has ruined his bike in such a way

My personal favorite, calls for a little bit of extra sharp braking

ISTR an Indian doctor (in India) being nicked by Plod for having a corpse on the back.

He'd lashed the body (whilst it was still alive) to him using a belt in order to get the sti... er, the patient to a hospital in a hurry. Alas the cada... um, patient died en route.

The Plod charged the Doc with having an unsecure load. Over here they'd probably have done the corpse for riding without a helmet as well... rolleyes

Super Cubs rule OK !
This engine was Honda´s "small (4)stroke of genius".
When it was developed in the 60s,
there even was some racing technology put in it.
OHC, domed piston, cross-flow head.

I dare to think that some of you guys did tune one of these,
in your monkey, DAX, or SS50 (hey-superpeds days) ?
Well we did anyway, he he.
Now you can buy parts that get over 20 hp / 12.000 prm from 130cc.

On the other side,these engines take an awful beating,
combined with low/no maintenance without giving in.
I remember one engine making strange rattling noises,
only to find that one of the rocker arm shafts had been ripped out of the head,
and the rocker (still halfway in place),
went -when actuated by the cam- all the way to the inside of the head cover,
but still pushed on the valve.....yikes

Cheers,
Benni
