I think there is something to that. There are also race bikes on one side and common everyday people on the other.

Shows the bike's versatility, can be ridden like a sport bike but by just about anyone?

I've seen a lot of interesting stuff around the world with motorcycles and rules (or lack of them).

In Nepal the Driver has to wear a helmet but none of the passengers do (people on the tank, behind the driver etc).
First Pic.

In Thailand they use these freaky little 125s as transportation and also like a taxi. Note the second pic - the girls wearing a dress ride side-saddle. Helmets are optional.
It's hilarious too because at a stoplight all the motorcycles would crawl to the front of the waiting cars and when the light changes they all rush forward - like the start of a race!

Sometimes they get creative - like the hybrid motorcycle/tuktuk in Peru (third pic).

One thing I see everywhere are cheap Chinese motorcycles - Pic 4 was an example in Egypt. Pic 5 was a cool Jawa also in Egypt.

Cuba was really interesting. Lots of OLD bikes as you'd expect Pic 6 and 7.

Yes I did. Here's one of the Bangkok ones in hard copy (below)
Started doing a lot more bike pics the last 10 years or so but I did take some with a camera back in the day.

Phil (BPP) would enjoy some of the telephones and telecom wiring I've taken pictures off though - what a nightmare!

Yes it is. Down here we call them record players though. Cool ad.
