Gordon did a wheelie once with that many people on board.

  On a CB 750 Honda, ahh those were the days my friend.

Well 5 counting him anyway.

I’m sure the photo is real, except for the baby in the bucket.   It’s not uncommon to see entire families on 50cc scooters in SE Asia.  One I saw in North Taiwan had tiny bamboo seats made onto the floorboard for his youngest kids to sit on, while his older daughter, son, and wife rode on the seat with him.  One I made sure to steer clear from had a 50 Lb.  bottle of propane on the floorboard as he made his way through the busy streets!

What always cracks me up at such pictures..... I'd like to see the look on the face of a VA State Trooper, as that little entourage motored by.

This woulda been late 70's or early 80's, my dad had him on the front, my mom on the back, and my sister and I sandwiched between 'em on his little Yamaha, I think it was even a 2 cycle, and was motoring around Dallas...

He got pulled over and given a good lecture by the law, as I recall...
