Waaaaay too much money and spare time.
Props to the driver who got it up there and held it so steady.
Astonishing how wide the road is- apparently no lane markings- everyone just basically keeps to the right. A reasonable amount of traffic as evidenced by the shadows passing. Not much anxiety about Police interference.

Ah, and the "music"

I was waiting for some one to fall off, or better yet drop the wheels. That would have been interesting..

I can imagine the reaction if I said one day " Hey Biggles, Diesel, Strea and SAAZ, Wanna go for a drive??? While we are at it, I'm going to put the Bravo on two wheels, so you guys climb out and take the wheels off, and then put em back on again"

We gotta find a salt pan or something. And then I want to see you drive for 5 minutes in a perfectly straight line after getting her up on two wheels before I go climbing around the high side.
Then we go one better and swap the front for the rear, like I thought the Arabs would.
So long as Diesel promises not to drop the nuts!

I was waiting for the front to go to the back.

I note that safety is not a big concern as they are wearing standard issue scooter safety gear. ie No shoes, gloves or helmets, and just T-Shirts. I'm not sure that the wheel nuts were tensioned correctly either. Other than that, it's a pretty impressive stunt.

Biggles · « **Reply #12 on:** June 05, 2014, 08:28:01 AM »

I think the nuts were loose to start with- very hard to release properly tightened nuts. Ditto on replacing them- finger tight good enough to get back on four wheels.
T shirts!? Some were in tunics and keffiyehs.

Couch · « **Reply #13 on:** June 05, 2014, 09:12:41 AM »

My nuts were tightening just watching them!!

Biggles,
Some of the roads double as airstrips, and not for the flying dr service as in WA.
Driving into Damascus from the Golan Heights you can see the fighters bunkered next to the highway.

Tyre terrorists perhaps?

Biggles · « **Reply #18 on:** June 05, 2014, 10:34:29 PM »

Keffiyehs are the local head dress. Like flowing robes, not optimum garb for climbing around outside fast moving vehicles. Possibly all wearers are not terrorists.

That driver is amazing
