Does anyone else find it ironic that they're not wearing helmets?  :?

That would be perfect for our puppy!!!!!  :mrgreen:

actually...no...in other parts of the world... its normal not to wear helmet..coz its a form of public transportation....i grew up in the philippines and we only see someone wearing a helmet on someone with a sportsbike or cruiser...i was bought a 50 cc scooter when i was 13 that i used a lot around town...no helmet no gear...my folks are now amazed on how many gear i have while riding now.. :thumb:

Judging by all the plexi, it looks like somebody would prefer to own a car.   :)

nah..like a bus..from fixed point a to fixed point b (taxi is your choice of point b)...its the common config...this one is from the other islands..

it's like a southeast-asian popemobile.

But if you're trying to be bullet-proof...don't you think it would be a good idea to protect the coconut?

I think they're only trying to protect against being shot.  A helmet and gear would protect you from a crash, but I suppose divine intervention does more against crashes than bullets?   :roll:

Looks like an attacker would just have to swap targets to the driver, and let the monk smack himself silly when he crashes in a bulletproof sidecar.

Right.  When I was trying to protect against being shot, I wore a helmet.   :dunno:

to me it doesn't even look to be fully closed in.  If the shooter were to the right of the driver, that side looks open to me.  Could be wrong but that cycle/bulletproof side car seems like a retarded idea.  Shoot the driver and the bulletproof sidecar becomes a prison.

they only take these down streets where the left is dangerous. :lol:

Toss a grenade in there.
