Videos from the Philippines

[kjsett]

Ok, had to try this. Just uploaded a couple of clips from my trip to the Philippines. Motorcycles are the primary mode of transportation. Most are under 200cc (most common I saw were 100 to 125cc). Brands I have never heard of besides the ones we are familiar with here. Photoshow as soon as I can, but this was quick. Never did get a picture of what I saw regularly, but never could get the camera in use to get a picture of: a 125cc bike (maybe) with dad driving and two kids and grandma being sandwiched between dad in the front and mom in the rear (5 often enough and i think I saw 6 once including infant).
This is the only video I think I have, shot with camera phone so quality not so good. Look for the Tricycle at the end. Most cargo and passengers (taxi like) are hauled by these things. A motorcycle with a sidecar like frame mounted to the right. Taxis were with roof and could haul up to 6 people. I even saw a cargo one with two large pigs strapped down on it (it got away before I could get the camera up).
