How many passengers ....... ?

Seems like there's more passengers than I can fit in my car....... :cry:[attachment=0:2jm519aq]ATT437438.jpg[/attachment:2jm519aq]

Ha ha ha ha! That's great. I am assuming - or PRAYING anyway - that the kid in the bucket has been PhotoShopped in there, and was not part of the original photo!

Reminds me - did you see my similar post from a while ago?

That just shows the amount of abuse a bike can endure and still live.
:cool: :lol:

The kid was Photoshoped in. It came from another forum. First there was a photo with the bucket and no kid. Then someone wondered what was in the bucket, and the original poster put up the second photo with a kid in the bucket. If you look at the kid's right (forward) hand, you can see that they didn't do a perfect job.

Still, it's a testament to the fact that in many parts of the World, bikes smaller than the GZ250 are the family car.

Not just 3rd world countries. When I was in my early teens(a long time ago)a friend carried six people on his Lambretta scooter.

I agree with the "what the..?" about the kid on the very end, on the woman's back - yikes!

And here I thought I was really doing something cramming like 6 or 7 people in the front seat of my El Camino in high school! Lol!

This would have been in the middle to late 1950's. Sadly though my friend met his end on the scooter.

Can you imagine 17 people in one of the original Mini Wagons. That must have been a fair challenge.

There used to be a lot of those around years ago. Now the few that are left in running condition go for really big bucks. The nonrunning scooters are an expensive source of used parts with no warranty whatsoever.

This is a great photo...what a keeper! :2tup:

I had one of those and I bought it used, almost new, for $20, which probably was a lot of money back then. I wish I still had it now. Besides being fun it's probably worth thousands today.

If I recall correctly, mine cost around £50, & I think I was on apprentice's wages of around £5 a week.

Wow, that is a cool little scooter, and has totally classic styling alan! In fact, a lot of the newer scooters look eerily familiar as far as the design goes. That's a great looking little machine - very classy. Great pic alantf.
