    Fascinating!

    Taiwan with 21x more motorbikes/scooters than we’ve got… They’re blowin’ EVERYone out of the water… I mean, look at Italy with 150/m, more than 7x as many as us and Taiwan STILL has nearly triple that!

    (granting that my math brain is functioning at all)

    Interesting statistics there… I didn’t expect Taiwan to have that high a number. Either you own a scooter/bike in Taiwan or you know someone that owns one…
