Can 58 Indian Army men ride a single motorcycle? YES, THEY CAN!

On 19 November 2017, 58 Indian Army Service Corps Display team broke the world record for most people on a single motorcycle.

The record was set at the Bangalore Yelahanka Air Base where they used a slightly modified 500cc Royal Enfield motorcycle.

Known as “The Tornadoes”, the men broke their old world record which was set at 56 men.

Most motorcycles are only built to accommodate to lovely bike enthusiasts. Sometimes it’s just one for those who enjoy the solo ride and some more with the assistance of a side car or even a wacky stretched out custom machine. So how is it possible that a large group of people are able to ride a single motorcycle without breaking it or themselves?

Once all 58 men were on board, they successfully rode the bike for a distance of 1.2km! Not a bad topic to start off a conversation, right?
