Have moto will travel...Over the past two months we have witnessed more things on motos than one would think possible and felt it noteworthy

Ladders, full size refrigerators, dead pigs, live ones, live stock, glass cabinets, glass in general, machine parts, building materials, children, infants, infants breast feeding, best ever 5 people...two women, two small children an infant and their dog... Might I say more? with low hanging electrical wire, lack of street signs or stop lights or road markers or simple traffic patrol, the best one can hope for is that the traffic follows in a left and right side flow....well I'm afraid that is too much to wish for. Side walks its ok! Have moto will travel. 







 When the initial shock is over you start to wonder if you could drive a moto, but as you can see they start young!
