    They have got to be joking, right??? How does he prevent the bike from falling over when he stops?

    A three-year-old boy has been granted a special licence to ride a motorcycle by judges in India

    Azeem Khan had to prove he could control the powerful Royal Enfield Bullet after his dad added special extensions to the controls so he could reach them.
    "He is much safer than most adult drivers I know," said proud dad Shantanu, of New Delhi.
    "I used to sit him on my bike and he would always grab at the controls. One day he will be a professional racer for sure," he added.
    But Azeem, who turns four next month, is not allowed out on the main roads on his own.
    "Of course I won't let him drive on the busy roads without me on the bike as well. I trust Azeem but I don't trust other drivers," he said.
    And the pint-sized biker already has his sights set on his next set of wheels.
    "What he really wants is a Harley Davidson but he'll have to wait a few more years for that," added his father.

    He he in India now. Just finished a week on a 350cc Bullet. They've a lot more power than I thought-plenty of torque. Topped out at about 100 kmp which wasn't bad considering how heavy they are for their engine size.

    I covered about 1300 km I'd say, on some pretty God-awful roads. My bum is in tatters.


    Yeah that thing about the baby doesn't surprise me all that much-it's absolute mayhem on the roads. No rules-only recommended guidelines.


    Coming home tomorrow but must keep an eye out for that kid....

    Indians are very spiritual people, they have a different outlook on life, and especially death. thats why the drive so recklessly, karma, reincarnation and all that malarky.
    a bit like 'que sara sara'
