The police car in the background of the 3rd photo is way to dirty for it to be Japanese :-).

The bike is an 1800cc Honda Goldwing towing a Swedish trailer.

The Japs drive on the left also. So my guess is China (maybe Shanghai).

I read an article about those a couple of years ago, as WW said they're the creation of a Swedish engineer. A modified 1800cc Goldwing complete with folding recovery trailer, pretty nifty;)
It would work in most countries except Australia where using a motorcycle to avoid rush hour queues & accident foul ups i.e lane filtering (or lane splitting) is considered illegal.

I've often wondered why motorbikes don't 'filter' through traffic, and will often sit in a lane over here.

Answers that one!

NOT that I ever did, being a motorcycle courier in London for 10 years! ... http://i298.photobucket.com/albums/m...S/pinokkio.gif
