Pakistan’s longest motorcycle is seen here in front of Lahore Press Club on July 2, 2009. It is in use for the noble cause of collecting funds for helping the IDPs (internally displaced people) in Pakistan. Any comments on this engineering marvel? Has anybody seen it on Lahore roads?

Dear Readers,
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP. While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors

I think there is NO third wheel. I don’t see one. I thinak that is the kamal. It is only two wheels.
would love to know what kind of shock absorbers they used, its really amazing to see so many people riding a bike. They must have developed some special shocks and struts to support this bulky structure.
Its amazing to see such a long Exhaust pipe (though not visible in the picture) being used. And the most important thing about this bike is transmission chain (again not visible). Wish we could see this bike with its components exposed.
