Overloaded motorcycles and scooters in Vietnam

When your main mode of transportation is a scooter or motorcycle then you're going to transport everything you can view that mode of transportation. We had seen so many different things transported on the scooters that we gotta start laughing. Then we started the list it came up with 20 of which I will list for you now.

Bicycle tires, chickens, bamboo, sugar cane, a full size door with glass inserts , steel tubing, small birds in cages, rice bags, cardboard in bundles, big blue barrels, fish traps, pigs legs, 1 to 2 inch diameter sticks, rice stalks, bundles of clothes, 15 foot long flag poles, beer kegs, cases of beer, entire families two adults and three kids, coconuts.  It went on and on.  We even saw a book "bikes of burden."
