Made in Korea

**rok-the-boat** · 9th April 2012, 09:32

I lived in South Korea for nearly 12 years, way before all these modern Hyosung (Suzuki clones) sports bikes appeared on the scene. Rife in Korea also are Daelim motorcycles (Honda clones). Take a look at some early 'originals'. I took the firest 3 pics. Not sure where I got the duck one from. The gas bike would probably have a range of 6000 miles, and would not fare too well in an accident. The 848 knivs and forks one has nothing to do with Korea, it's just cool.

JUST UPLOADED A FEW MORE: Scroll down to post #13 ]

It is a dog. So what? That's what we humans do, cook and eat animals. Personally I would prob feel a bit odd eating a dog but so would a hindu eating a cow?

Joke all you want, but at least Korea doesn't have a stray dog problem!

Wow, talk about overloaded! And what are those, 150cc or 250cc bikes?

**scumdog** · 9th April 2012, 11:13

At least they're getting full-use from their bikes eh!

**Tigadee** · 9th April 2012, 11:42

Indeed! Surprising thing is that they won't care much for the bike except to change the oil once every 10,000 kms and what's an oil filter? Somthing broke? Use some rubber bands, hair pins, etc... Why do you think Koreans use those metal chopsticks?

That's what I call a Korean Hot Dog! I took the pic in Moran Market, famous for dog meat, and all kids of other stuff. I don't mean anything bad by the pics - love the place; their economy is fantastic, if not a little dangerous. i have had three Korean cars and would recommend them.

I think the duck pic is from China/Vietnam (I didn't take that one, I was sent it). The bikes were 125 - 150cc. I took the pics in the early 1990's. Now, they have upgraded a little, but they still carry heaps of stuff.

The motorcycle three wheel contraptions are quite common in China, they are either the gas or battery powered type and they are ubiquitous everywhere. Anything they can fit or be able to moved will be chucked onto them! In winter they often cover the handlebars with warm mitts and have an apron to protect them from the chill.

I once saw a bike in Korea with a desk/table on top. It was a permanent fixture. It had a plastic sheet at the front so the rider was protected from the rain.

Here are a few more pics I took in South Korea.

...yeah, having no health & safety standards and limited traffic enforcement = some "interesting" loading methods

I remember the guy in Aus got pinged carring a BBQ down the state highway on his bike

...http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/sn...825-13rmh.html

It is amazing how one country can be appluded for there ability to "make the most" out of a vehicle, and yet another will lable it "Ridiculous", fine you $800 and suspend your licence

I love seeing the "balancing acts" that some of these countrys do with there bike loading

....But bugger actually doing it or sharing the road with it

(already had trucks n trailers throwing rocks n things at me

....imagine the damage 43 ducks and a roast dog would do @100k!
