That's EXACTLY what I thought when I saw Clarkson's Bike-Boat.

thanks for the pics. looks good. God knows why Richard had a model boat on his bike!!!!

Momo63 · November 24th, 2008, 11:52 PM

Must have been part of a challenge - most outlandish thing you can carry?
Certainly it's common place in Vietnam and Cambodia to see all sorts of thing on the back of tiny bikes - I saw furniture, livestock, haystacks and whole families being carried.

thearrow · November 26th, 2008, 7:50 PM

Either that, or part of the challenge was to incorporate a boat somehow........

Hence Clarkson making a boat out of his bike and Hammond carrying a boat on the back of his..... images/smilies/think.gif

mabye he has to cross a river of some sort to get where he's going? Hammond will fit perfectly in that boat, that's for sure images/smilies/tongue.gif

Livestock = farm animals - we saw pigs and goats mainly.

NooDle · December 3rd, 2008, 11:54 AM

yeah, I know that. I just don't see how you can transport those with a tiny bike. Do you just pile the pigs on top of each other?

Momo63 · December 3rd, 2008, 12:10 PM

Ah sorry - thought it was a language thing. The pigs were in baskets - kind of panniers on the back. Yhe goats were in a big crate and we also saw a little child clutching two piglets while clinging on to his mother!

Looks like the Vietnam episode is going to be 12x08, the last of the run.

Im looking forward to this episode!!
Looks like Hammond is on a Minsk, a 125cc 2 stroke made in Belarus, I have always wanted to ride one of those through Vietnam!
