Mike, it's not "other countries", it's either S.Korea or China, most probably the latter.

Certainly not Japan, they drive on the left.

China has been enjoying an economic high for the last 15-20 years, I'm sure that they drove like that in the US in the 1920-30s...

I am going to post a link of this to the discussion on ABS.....a lot of these bikes sure could have used the ABS.

I am surprised how aggressively they drive, and how many of the falls are a result of locking up the front wheel while trying to stop quickly.
