I have a little collection of pics of motoconchos and the things that they carry/do. The trouble is, you never seem to have a camara handy when you see the guy carrying the washing machine, or lazy boy recliner on the back!!

I would appreciate any additions to my collection, you can send them by email

take care,
marc

Send me two of your best

Marc: I don't have any to offer, but would appreciate if you send me your two best motoconcho pictures to my e-mail at golo100@hotmail.com.

For instance if you have one with 6 or more people in it or carrying a big dog or a goat, something like that. If anybody has one with a washing machine it should get a Pulitzer!

Motoconchos

We should start some sort of contest of the most unusual pic. or descriptions about the moto's. Saw one the other day, three people aboard, one passenger was balancing a 50# propane tank on his head, passing by a group of AMET police. Figure it out!!!! Regards, PJT

The ultimate concho picture

Has anyone seen a concho with more than six people aboard? I saw one with six, including a baby who was sitting on the steering.

I also saw a towing beauty. This guy was towing another motoconcho with the usual one leg hold. Between the two of them there were four people on board.

LOL

Too funny. I start to see the "normal" things now and hardly bat an eye. Like a concho at night with no tail light carrying a 5' propane tank (no valve guard) down the highway at night.

I have never seen it, but have heard of 7 on a concho (4 "lap" sized children, three adults), I figured I was lucky to get my pic of 6 on a scooter!

Still have to get a pic of the one concho pushing TWO other conchos that are out of gas...seen it once, it is kind of legendary, have yet to see it again.

Then there's the guys that are carrying a ladder just too long to manage on one concho....so one concho at each end is in order. Unreal.

Has anyone seen a concho with a lady in the back holding an umbrella for the sun?

Yes I saw it and It would have been faster If the lady had walked.
No picture thougt.

More than once, I saw 2 passengers + the concho carrying a big biscocho.

not just humans and a washer..

Not only I had seen a passenger with a load of tied up chickens in the back but I have seen a passenger holding on to a tied up fat pig in the back.
Then I had a patient who was sitting on a max loaded moto concho. I guess she was sitting on the metal thing in the back when the moto struck a pot-hole. She was bounced up and then she landed on the metal thing (to fasten things on the back) and broke off her coccyx bone. Its the end of your spine (tail bone). she better think twice before she sits down on any moto-concho from now on... because now she feels pain when she sits down anywhere; a doughnut type pillow has to be used to sit on any surface.

LOL Jim, you're the king

Love the pics, I copied them both their great.

Not sure how many heads the chickens will have left when they get where they're going...bet you could even pluck the feathers off most of them if it is a long enough drive!

Love the second one. Using the child sitting on the tank as a chip/drink holder is the clincher for me. Too funny.
