Wow...... they must have "extreme" MSF course..... in India.....

Is that Boston?

What a cluster...

Didnt they used to drive like that in the US back in the old days?  There was a video posted here a few weeks ago with some crazy dude driving a taxi and a horse drawn carriage through NYC back in the 20's... looked just like this. 

Thing is, they really look around before they speed through the intersection.
Here in Copenhagen people are very calm due to the speed limits and 3 meter wide bike lanes next to the roads.
But also they trust in lights like its gods will...
If they drive down to Marseilles or Cannes or Milan they will just crash and burn
Friend of mine went into a horn shop in India...yes...a shop for car and bike horns ONLY.
He bought something called "Road King" and has it on his http://www.allenmotorsports.com/images/ducati_900ss.jpg
I cant wait to get my Stebel Nautilus compact ( http://www.twistedthrottle.com/trade/productview/2137/ ) and go for a honk off 

That's nothing compared to the Manila traffic.Crazy!!!!

Someone needs to turn that into a screen saver...

I was in India last year for work and it's even crazier in person. At first the traffic scared the crap out of me, then I got used to it, then it just annoyed me. I couldn't count how many times I saw a guy riding a 150cc motorcycle, with his wife on the back riding sidesaddle, holding their infant child in her arms..... driving through that traffic. It was WILD.

I did get to rent a motorcycle when I was in a more rural area and just cruised around the countryside. Definitely one of the coolest motorcycle experiences I've had.

Are you sure it was just one kid ... did you get a look at the top of the gas tank 

the first video is in fast forward a tad. if you look at the guy walking down the street, he's moving faster that any speed walker i've ever seen.
