The photos of a motorcycle carrying eight people at once have stirred massive reactions on social media as people had a lot to say.
Chief among what people asked was: why would a person go that far to make a machine that is meant to carry a maximum of two passengers take eight people?
Tweeps also noted that making body modifications to a bike to handle such without increasing its engine's horsepower to a commensurate level is very unsafe.
Photos shared show that the bike's seat was rebuilt. To give the passengers some relative comfort, a very long leg brace was also made so the passengers do not rest their feet on the machine's silencer.
It should, however, be noted that at the time of writing this report, Legit.ng cannot verify the location where the photos were taken.
