Wow, before when people brought up China and two wheelers I had images of streets filled with motiorcycles, scooters, bicycles all vying for position on major streets and now I saw this?

http://www.danwei.org/front_page_of_the_day/insert_image_hereinsert_captio_8.php

The headline of the article reads that illegal scooters are being destroyed but it also mentions one city's campaign to reduce the numbers of two wheelers registered and it mentions addressing some concern that rampant robberies were committed with two wheeled get-away vehicles.

This guys reply to the article was interesting, I doubt he will ever join MV.


"Good riddance! Always hated the crappy, noisy, f**king-up-traffic, thieving, smoke belching little pieces of shit.

Was so happy when my city of residence banned them outright a couple years ago!! One of the smartest things this totalitarian form of government did"

Oh grand! Now they're gonna buy more cars and compete for fuel. Well at least they don't have to worry about class action lawsuits for defective products. It also seems that chinese police are probably crappy riders if they can't catch the culprits when they are probably driving cars. Wouldn't want them o drop their fried wontons! and sweet n sour sauce( Their form of coffee and donuts?) . Solution-Kill the motorcycles.
