Back in 1970 during a bank strike when I was out of work, I got a temporary job on a scooter. The job entailed delivering newspapers around Dublin on a Lambretta scooter with a large box on the back. It seemed very well paid and I was used to riding motorbikes and scooters, so held no fears. On my first day, they piled up the papers packing the box, so that they were higher than my head, and the weight imbalance made the front wheel patter in a straight line. I had to lean over the handlebars to keep it in contact with the road. My delivery route included all of the old cobbled streets around Dublin's docks - and it rained! The surface was like ice, and how I didn't kill myself I'll never know. I made it around my route, but resigned when I got back to the depot. It wasn't that well paid after all. Your Thai subject is surprisingly riding another Italian scooter - a Vespa, but his real bike seems to be a Honda - going on his jacket. However, I like the last one - the busy family shot - best!
