Motorcycles - The New Pick-up




How many uses can you think of for a motorcycle? We never ceased to be amazed at the different ways the Domincan people use this mode of transportation. It's main function is to transport people and family and you can hire a "taxi" motorcycle for about 75 cents to take you anywhere in the city. We have seen up to six people on one motorcycle at the same time. Whole families travel together with dad in front, the kids fit in the middle, mom sits at the back with baby hanging on her hip!






But sometimes you see a motorcycle being used to transport many original things. At times you just smile, and other times you say, "Did you SEE that?" The ingenuity of the Domincan people is quite astounding and refreshing. As some have been heard to say, "Never a dull moment in the DR!"
