Motorbiking in the Rain

I thought I had pretty much seen everything when it comes to motorbikes and the way people ride them here - no helmets - or helmet slung over arm; helmets that look like they will crush if you ever had an accident; people wearing flip-flops and minimal clothing with no thought of what might happen if they are in an accident; whole families of 2 adults and 2 or 3 kids wedged on a bike; babies carried by mothers - but today I think I saw the clincher. It was raining and as I was pulling out of the busy junction at the entrance to our subdivision in our car, I saw a man on a motorbike trying to cross the junction. He had no helmet but was holding an umbrella in his left hand while trying to balance and drive his bike across the traffic.

I had a little chuckle.
