BIKES OF BURDEN - Day # 45 Special "Citius - Altius - Fortius" Edition (ENGLISH/GERMAN)
English
Hello fellow Steemians !
Welcome to another edition of my original "Bikes of Burden" Collection. Today, I chose another interesting topic for you. Today's Episode I call: "CITIUS - ALTIUS - FORTIUS". It's latin and stands for "Higher, Faster, Further" and is a fitting title for today. Over the years I have seen many interesting transports that seem to impossible. Today I want to share a few extraordinary examples of that
ENJOY !!!

Hallo liebe Steemians!
Willkommen zu einer neuen Ausgabe meiner original "Bikes of Burden" Kollektion. Heute habe ich mich für ein weiteres interessantes Thema entschieden. Die heutige Episode nenne ich: "CITIUS - ALTIUS - FORTIUS". Dies ist lateinisch und steht für "Höher, Schneller, Weiter" und ist ein passender Titel für heute. Im Laufe der Jahre habe ich viele interessante Transporte gesehen, die unmöglich erscheinen. Heute möchte ich ein paar außergewöhnliche Beispiele vorstellen.
VIEL SPASS!!!
** CITIUS - ALTIUS - FORTIUS **
THE WHEEL
DAS RAD
This Big Wheel is still on of my favorite transports. Rarely, you see a crazy transport that is so beautiful to look at. WHat do you think this wheel is used for...until this day, it is still a mystery to me.
GREEN MASS
GRÜNES ETWAS
OK, here is another guy who thought that there is unlimited space on the scooter to transport this green mass. This is until he realized that he need to be careful with turning now because his load is touching the ground. When I saw this transport, I had to look 3 times to find the actual scooter hidden within.
SNACKS
KNABBERKRAM
Here is a transport that you see quite often. However, this is an exceptional one because the amount and diversity of snack items on this scooter is astounding. I almost felt like I should just drive up to him and choose a couple of crisps and crackers.
METAL MIX UP
METALL MIX UP
Here is another dangerous looking transport. I wonder how long it took to load and unload this Metal Mix Up. My goal was to take a picture and get the hell out of his way... the whole mess did not look like its going to stable for a long time.
CARPET
TEPPICH
Until now, all the loads were rather high... here is something that is just wide and dangerous. One wrong move and you have 3 rolling carpets on the road. Safety was definitely not in this guy's thought.
BULKY BLUE
SPERRIGES BLAU
Here is another example of a transport that you see and leave asap. These two little ropes that are supposed to hold everything together are just not enough to make you feel comfortable driving behind.
SCRAP
SCHROTT
I guess I saved the best and most dangerous looking transport for last. I think you can spend a few minutes to look at it and keep finding your whole lives worth of stuff on the back of this scooter!
Ok my fellow Steemians, I think thats enough for today. I hope you enjoyed todays "CITIUS - ALTIUS - FORTIUS Edition" of my blog. If you do please consider to follow my blog @dragonator and why not hit that little upvote button?

Every day I open your posts. It's always interesting to see new photos with loads :) Someone is crazy
Thanks so much :-)
Haha, nice post @dragonator!!! I think that wheel is actually a giant cheese slicer 👍🏽👍🏽 Up-voted and re-steemed.
YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT ;-) ... thanks !
I'm guessing the first one is some kind of art, or maybe part of a water wheel??
Hard to say. All of them look rather precarious, and as you said, 'stay out of the way and don't follow too close'. Kind of nutty from the safety standpoint, but I suppose efficient and necessary in their world of making a living.
Thanks for the great photos of a slice of life where you live. Just discovered you, Looking forward to more.
Thanks so much... yes ... needfulness is probably the correct word... as people usually don't have enogh money to transport the stuff by truck.
Yet a GREAT source of endlessly amazing photos, as you have demonstrated. Keep up the great works.
Wunderbar wie du die Bilder nun mit Geschichten füllst, dafür gibt es einen 100% Vote von mir!
Man lernt von den besten ;-) ... vielen Dank... leider habe ich noch kein 100% Schieber... wann gibts den denn?
So ab 500 steempower. Bis dahin sind deine Votes alle 100%, macht ja auch keinen Sinn 0,00001 cent votes zu vergeben.
Ich kam, ich sah, ich siegte 😁
Ist schon verrückt, wie wir in Vietnam beim Transport mit dem Motorbike übertreiben 😂 Kennst du die Aufnahme, wo ein Bauer einen Büffel dabei hatte? Ich glaub, bei den Fotos musste sogar seine Frau auf das Bild, um das Gleichgewicht zu halten 😂
Ich vermisse Vietnam.
Toller Post, danke!
Leider nicht, hab aber schon Kuh auf Moped gesehen...leider nicht fotografiert... :-(
sweet post man! im thinking about returning to vietnam before tet next year to see friends and family. its nice to see you loving the scene. i have you followed now.
Don't worry, these crazy transports will always be there ... even next year !!!
1A Ladungssicherung......
Absolut ;-)
Awesome post and photos! and level : expert at loading up those bikes :) Thanks for sharing #keepsteemin
How have I never heard the word KNABBERKRAM before? 8 years in Germany and this is my first time seeing it. I think I may have just found a new favorite word.
Haha... i haven't said this word for years... so i decided to use it 😊
