Do pigs ride on motorbikes?
Not an obvious question. Let me
explain. We were riding on a normal two-lane through road south of
Kuala Kangsar. The road was quiet, some cars, the usual small
motorbikes and us. It happened on a slope, we were riding uphill, slowly. I
was 100 meters ahead of Eveline and had just rounded a corner, when I
thought I heard her shout. Because of the corner I could not see her
and I feared that she had fallen or something. I hastely
turned and while doing this I saw a man on a motorbike in a green
shirt do the same. I thought that he had seen what was going on with
Eveline and wanted to help. A second later I saw Eveline standing
along the roadside, not hurt or anything. I felt releived but
wondered what had happened. The man on the motorbike had disappeared.
Then Eveline told me that the motorbike-man, when he passed her, had
grabbed her breast, and quite hard too. What you feel at such a
moment is immediate rage. What the f….., the pig. And then the man
on the motorbike passed again, and he took the time to have a good
look at us. It was good that he didn't stop ….
Eveline was rather shocked, when it
happened she was mainly concerned not to fall, which she fortunately
didn't. Then her reaction was the same as mine, anger, disbelief, outrage. For the rest no real harm was
done.
I tried to imagine what must have gone
on in this man's head. A normal day, he is riding his motorbike going for an
errand or so. Then he sees a woman on a bicycle. Not a normal thing
to see here, especially dressed like this, bare arms, bike shorts. In
a second he must have made up his mind: “I'm going to slow down,
grab her and see what happens. Haha!”. Something like that. And he
even returned to see the result (or continue with the next step?),
psychopat. So yes, in this country there's at least one pig that rides
a motorbike.
On all our bike tours over so many
thousands of kilometers, this is the first time. Most likely the
last, I'm sure.
Later in KL we saw these train carriages. Is it that bad?
