The reason is that there are 65 million motorcycles on Indonesian roads, and last year, seven million new machines were sold there, as compared with just 1.1 million cars.

That's crazy. Seven million bikes?? I'll bet drivers there never say, "I didn't see the motorcycle Your Honor."

A little sample:

They are insane for their bikes in asia!!!!! when i went there i was floored by the sheer numbers,,,and almost all of them 200cc and smaller,,in some places at a stop lite i could have walked from one side of the street to the other walking on the helmets of the riders(thats assuming i could actually do it physically),,,if and when gas gets in line price wise like the rest of the world,say $6.50-8.00 a gallon we'll see way more bikes being used in the U.S.

i remember myself on that video, and on that video you'll notice that the riders can squeeze in between cars and can overtake them, WHY can't we do it here in the US???, i did it once in San diego and cagers gave me a finger..mygad!!!, can't they accept the fact that i can get to my destination faster riding my scooter., here in AZ overtaking or lane sharing is a big no no!!!...I DUNNO WHY!!!! any rational logic behind it??





too many rules here......haaaay!!!
