8 People On 1 Motorcycle Going Faster Than A Car In China

From NetEase & Sohu:

One motorcycle carrying 8 people, and going faster than even our car…even more frightening is that the motorcycle was carrying several children, too dangerous.

With pictures there is truth:

It matches the state/circumstances of China.

2.橙涩昨日

The price of a motorcycle, the use of a commercial vehicle. Aside from it feeling crowded in the front and back, it is relatively spacious to the left and right!!!

3.yangtingjun1

This motorcycle’s capacity has been developed to the extreme, it is imitating India!~

4.jinyuan4747

What brand is this motorcycle? The quality is not bad!!!

5.oppo561314

This kind of joke should not be mad. Please do joke around with your own life and other people’s lives. Avoid avoid.

6.wmcf9527

In India, the roofs of train cars all have people, and the train doors all cannot be shut, so maybe this entire family just came back from India?

7.有辱斯文

Niu people ride niu motorcycles.

8.小撒

Dangerous, do not wait until something happens to regret, it will be too late then.

9.qiqi.f

From this we can see that the overall level our country’s motorcycles are still pretty high!

10.神临人间

If it were to flip, it would be yet another serious traffic accident.

11.ali.baba.123

China has too many poor people. They have no choice. Everyone wants a small car of their own to easily go out. But reality and ideals are very far apart.

12.totlezhang

As long as it is a rural/poor place, you can always see this kind of creative/daring person.

13.咖啡味道

Too stimulating/exciting, a little like performing acrobatics.

14.passionlb

Really fucking dangerous, where have the traffic police gone?

15.3号云朵

A necessity of life, although paying attention to safety would truly be saving money!

What is the most amount of people you have been with on a bicycle, motorcycle, or car?

  • MsJ

    Yeah, it looks dangerous. But think of how fearless and free the kids will be when they get older.

    • yellow master race

      yupp.. fearless untile suicide arrogance..

    • Nico

      Think how few they will be when they get older…

      Free are careless are different.

    Wondering why the guy taking all the pictures didn’t just offer to give them a lift instead of following them around like a stalker with a camera!

    • Guangxi Bob

      You can’t be serious. Obviously he is on a bus,

  • colin

    No concern for human life…but then again there re 1.3 billion Chinese, as they say here in China so often, whats it if a few die?

    • Rick in China

      That’s probably what the father said as he towed his herd around.

    • Mekong

      Yep, true reflection of standard western generalization of Asians in general.

    • anotherteacher

      Keep this type of comment away from here. Do you think the family is doing this for thrills? Poverty sucks.

      • Rick in China

        I think they’re doing it for thrills.
        Donate a dollar and shut the fuck up.

  • lavalamp

    wow! I love Chinese acrobats!

  • sneakay

    I think I saw this at an Acrobat show…

    Ah yes, here is the picture I took

    world record number of people on a bike.

  • VeerLeft

    Chinese version/knock-off of Honda CB125. It’s a twin cylinder that is styled after a 1984 Magna.
    _________
    On another note, how can you defend this behaviour? Pretty bloody dangerous. Kids and babies? even a low speed accident could do them, look at the positioning.

  • sad

    how often does mop.com show us the gruesome leftovers of traffic accidents in China? How sad would it be to see this little one splattered all over the road.

  • http://www.shetalkslikejune.wordpress.com Priyanka singh

    LOL! Happens In India too!

    Not related to the topic, but an asian girl has written a more contemporary essay on why asian women date white men. Her version is closer to the truth. http://shetalkslikejune.wordpress.com/2009/04/19/of-white-men-asian-women-and-a-long-rant/

    • Mercator

      This is the second thread, I’ve found this spammed to. Please stop. The writer is Indian, and the poster appears to be the same woman.

  • LOL

    If I were a white guy, I would probably date asian women as well. But if I were a asian woman, it would not date a white guy, hairy chest, armpit odor, what are they, monkeys, haven’t revolutionized well yet.

    • Alikese

      Ah yes, if only white guys could have the beard of a 9 year old boy too, just like the ladies like.

    • jpie

      If I were a white guy, I wouldnt date an asian girl, no thanks!

  • LOL

    i mean evlolution

  • Deepak

    lol,this is exactly why the nano was made!

  • VeerLeft

    Hey LOL, if you had a dick you could be considered male… if your aunt had balls she’d be your uncle, if your mom actually got paid she’d be a hooker…etc,etc

  • LOL

    and Deepak, that is exactly why you started mad cow desease, and hey VeerLeft, if you hadn’t posted anything like that, you could actually pass for a non retarded

  • VeerRight

    I had a better one, if you hadn’t posted anything, you could actually pass for a monkey

  • ambra

    Isn’t it a guinness world record?!

  • Fat American

    This is not much more dangerous than most Chinese behavior on the country’s roads.

  • Phil7

    More and more people seem to start using this site to get some racist comments across.

    I don’t want to put oil in the fire but when Chinese guys tell me I am like a monkey because I have a little bit more hair then then I remind them that Chinese still have the size of monkeys (or how tall are you, LOL?). After that I usually don’t have to listen to other clever comments.

    • Ken

      Dont worry about that. Most chinese men are like females. Hairless legs etc. Not yet developed into real men.

      • LOL

        Don’t worry, most white guys are like monkeys, hairy legs. Not yet developed into real men.

        • Phobe Lexx

          And Chinese are developed??? Hahahaha. Back to the Public School Prison for you darling!!

          你会去监狱的学校。。。LOL

      • chinese

        Hey boy, you have to speak right or you will get fucked up and your ass will be on fire , so stop bitching around.

    • LOL

      You don’t have to be short to be a monkey, you just need to be hairy and smell. Dinasours are taller than you, so you are actually closer to them in size….and status…extinction. Usually after that, i don’t hear other other clever commmets.

      • FangYao

        what’s the point to fight each other like this.
        see the comments above, i dont think any of you better than monkey….
        one day if we can learn how to forgive each other, that’s the day we are different to Monkey.

  • Peteryang

    Ya know what, that’s actually safer because 1. the pressure keeps everyone on-board, 2. the combined weight makes the bike stable. The only issues is the suspension is heavily abused.

  • too yellow

    riding bike is dangerous in general anyways. I keep hearing that the first 2000 recipients of bike licenses are dead by traffic accidents now.

  • VeerLeft

    LOL… stop eating Monkeys….please.

  • baijiansi

    I’m a non-hairy white guy and i sweat like a Chinese, that is not a lot. What am i? A female monkey or a superior kind of male? I hope you guys are joking.

    I think it’s not that dangerous to ride a bike like that, if you don’t go too fast. It looks stable. And yes, the kids will be growing up fearless… In the
    West we tend to be a little too much obsessed with safety.

    PLEASE Chinasmack please FIX your WEBSITE! Whenever I click on a comment link then it brings up the stupid login thing and it doesn’t matter what I do afterwords it will refresh and take me to an empty page! By empty I mean it’s got the background “stuff” but no content! The content “pane” is missing!

    I’m running Firefox 3.0.10, Windows Sucksta whatever-the-fuck-edition-piece-of-crap-I-want-to-smash-my-awesome-sweet-baby-computer-I-going-back-to-linux-soon-bet-on-it-piece-of-publicity-nightmare-windoze-M$$$$$$-that-is-replacing-S-with-$$$$-so-what-i-m-immature-so-what-the-great-recession-still-M$$$-fuck-I-hate-windoze-but-i-am-still-a-sucker-cuz-i-paid-two-freaking-hundred-bucks-for-s-h-i-t!!!

    • http://www.chinasmack.com Fauna

      This happens to me also. I have not yet find the reason why.

      • Capt. Absurdity

        Well, one of the problem is when this page loads, and inside the body tag, you have a node containing as it’s children the content–that is, . If you look at this in firebug you will see that it’s style attribute is “display: None”. Removing this made the content appear, for me. So this may be a quick-fix while I do some more digging to see what is up. Maybe when that login page shows up and if you fail login it sets the content display to none. I’m not sure, could be anything at this point.

        I’m also noticed in Error Console you have an Javascript error:

        Error: links[i].href.match(/#(\w.+)/) is null
        Source File: http://www.chinasmack.com/wp-content/themes/chinaSMACK/js/domtab.js
        Line: 61

        • Capt. Absurdity

          I definitely think it may have something to do with that Javascript. I don’t have a proper editor that will format the javascript properly (and find parenthesis sets, etc) so it is hurting my eyes really bad and I hate reading Javascript.

          I will have to work on this tomorrow, but I promise I will help you find it. Unless you fix it before I work on it :) It’s all good :)

          But your problem is you have:

          var loc=window.location.toString();
          loc=/#/.test(loc)?loc.match(/#(\w.+)/)[1]:”;

          According to the internet, loc.match() return NULL IFF it doesn’t find the searchString. So if the regular expression /#/.test(loc) is true and loc.match() return null, then loc is null. I haven’t gone too much beyond that except it does somethings, probably sets the Display: None somewhere…

          I’m not sure though. Maybe I’m right or maybe I’m completely wrong. Who knows about these things? I’m a house boat cpt. who is short and fat and likes to drink rum and smoke cigars all day and every day.

          • Capt. Absurdity

            Hello, any luck? I thought you did a quick fix yesterday which was working for me when I was accessing your site soon after I posted the above comment.

            So what did you do?

            It seems that it no longer error out on the above line, but a little bit below now.

            As of right now: it is still failing on me in the checkUrl function (note: I’m not too familiar with the DomTab script and it’s functionalities).

            But here is a quick run-down of what I believe it does:

            1) It group capture the link after # and stores this as loc.

            2) Then little below it it sets a bunch of “div” tags to Display : None (as a preparation step?)

            3) Then it goes out and gets the list of all “a” tags. Then it loops through this list, and match and capture /#(\w.+)/ for comparing with loc. If loc and captured string match, then it does something, which I assume sets the link etc and the display CSS.

            However, this will fail when it fails to match a \w after #. When I was stepping through the debugger I noticed that you have href such as #%22 etc, which will fail, since % is not in \w, then consequently this will result in the match returning null.

            So the quick fix is to either (I have not thought-through the consequences, so it may fail or cause other problems):

            1) change your regular expression to

            /#(.+)$/

            2) Put in a null check

            if(loc == null){continue;}

          • http://www.chinasmack.com Fauna

            I use DomTab from here: http://www.onlinetools.org/tools/domtabdata/

            I am not familiar with the Javascript so maybe you can suggest the issue with him. I change something a few minutes ago but I do not know if it will help. Please let me know if you still have the same blank page problem after this.

          • Capt. Absurdity

            Right, I know! But I admit I didn’t read the instruction at all. So after reading, I see how this thing works, I haven’t spent too much time working on this but I will keep on looking. I’m going to check your DomTab div etc too see if there are any problems with usage. But on the Javascript level it is definitely doing what I described above. It is definitely causing the problems; however it could be that you are just using the thing in an “undefined manner,” whatever that means.

            To any bored individual: here is a quick fix: Click on the link, then go to URL bar to remove the #comment crap, refresh and then click the SAME link and it will load the page proper.

        • Capt. Absurdity

          I meant if(id==null){continue;}

    Its in international papers today, more behaviour that the rest of the world will laugh or express disdain at.

    The most people I saw on a bike before was a family of 4 on a scooter in Taiwan, 24/7 magazine tried to put 6 adults on a scooter and just barely managed – this totally takes the cake! Can’t help but feel a bit scared for the baby at the very back though…

    “haven’t revolutionized well yet.”

    If at first you don’t succeed …

    “i mean evlolution”

    …try, try, try again.

    As for the bike and its eight passengers – gave me a great laugh. I used to joke that any motorbike in China with less than five passengers just wasn’t trying hard enough. This has got to be a record for a non-acrobatic use of a motorcycle.

    Pit bulls are bad dogs. Overly aggressive. They should be made illegal and should be put down.

  • Capt. Absurdity

    Hey, a quick update: Maybe you not using the tab as intended because you are linking to named anchors in side the DomTabs (I noticed in several DomTab tutorials on the net that they all do not contain links to named anchored). What it does when loading the page is it grabs the current page location and does things based on named anchors. However, I have yet to complete review of the Javascript code–to understand it’s behavior. But as I mentioned earlier, it is definitely having problems with some of your links.

    I will email you later about it and we can take this discussion offline. If you don’t care about this then we can just stop there or if you want we can try our best to fix the problem.

    • http://www.chinasmack.com Fauna

      I am not sure what you mean but I have experience the blank page again today. Can I fix the problem in the HTML? You can email me.

      • Capt. Absurdity

        Hello. I couldn’t find the email.

        Anyway, can you use an IFrame to put your comment content in? This way, you could link to it from DomTab and target the iframe–not sure if it will work, but it is worth a try without messing with Javascript.

        What do you think?

  • Lang Lang

    This reminds me of the time my parents promised to take me and my 4 sisters and brother to the circus. It was raining and for some reason my mother,who was out in the family car, got delayed for hours. Not wanting to disappoint us, my dad piled us on to his old 250 Yamaha that he used for buzzing around town. We ranged from 1 to 11 years old,3 on the gas tank and 3 in the back. Hell…it was only a couple of miles to the circus anyway. We thought it was the coolest thing ever. (My mom got pretty pissed off about it) Course…. these days we would have been stripped from our parents and put in foster homes for such reckless endangerment. Just because a dad didn’t want to let down his kids.

    • http://cnreviews.com/ Kai

      Yeah, and most of the time, people get away with these things, no one gets hurt, and everyone has a blast. It’s just when something bad DOES happen that we end up having to accept that good intentions aren’t enough to justify the huge risks and consequences sometimes. Your father’s a good guy, but totally understand why your mom was pretty pissed. LoL. You guys were 1 short o the above feat.

  • BloodDeathandGlory

    well atleast look at it this way, the last person with the baby strapped on her back was probably the first woman in China I’ve seen not carrying the child like a sack of rocks. The whole incident with a motorcycle is yes really dangerous, but probably a necessity.
