Anyone who visits China comes back with harrowing accounts of driving habits from steering onto sidewalks to ignoring traffic lights or lane markers. However, even under Chinese standards, this driver may have set a record for accidents with one minute.
It seemed inevitable that the driver would find the hole and hopefully he survived. Of course, his fall might have been broken by some of the ooze that we saw take over a street in China two days ago (though it likely would dissolve both the man and his motorcycle).
By the way, the Chinese did not determine what the substance was or whether it was hazardous. They just used hoses to force it back into the sewers beneath the streets — the Chinese version of environmental reclamation.

I visited various blogs but the audio feature for audio songs current at this web page is
actually wonderful.
The article reminded me of this song for some reason:

Hey want a ride ? I will give you one…… Watch what the passenger does
it looked like daytona bike week except the motorcycle rider wasn’t fat enough.
bettykath, You’re correct, they’re skilled but completely reckless.
He is from Burma. There on a work visa.
Fred, Because you’re an idiot perhaps?. [Did I say that out loud? Yea, I guess I did.]
Is it Phantoms? (1998 w/Peter O’toole!)
This is a joke sequence, right? The driver is really Jackie Chan doing some of his stunts? Maybe a funny auto insurance commercial where the company says you will get fabulous rates if you drive better this guy?

I was thinking more along the lines of the 1985 B movie, “The Stuff”:

Either the man didn’t have a clue on how to drive a scooter or, more likely, he was impaired.
nick, The Italian scooter drivers are a bit nuts, but they really do know how to drive. I wouldn’t consider riding with them though. Set up the drive-off. I’ll watch.
Fred, careful. comments like that shows ignorance.
That man drives like he is near sighted being half blind trying to navigate busy streets,
I am most amazed that it was not a woman.
Falls…. Yeah right…. He was glided into the abyss…..
I’m awaiting Dredd’s comment on the ooze.
I propose an Italian v Chinese scooter death match! The ooze looks like Chinese noodle dough..yeast gone wild.
