The Indian Army "Tornado" motorcycle stunt team once performed a stunt with 58 people on a motorcycle. Successfully broke the previous world record of 56 people in motorcycle stunts, also set by the Indian Army.
The Indian army’s motorcycle “cocking” performance is famous all over the world. Even the President of the United States couldn’t help laughing when he saw it.
In India, almost every Republic Day celebration and military parade is attended by a motorcycle stunt team, and they always appear "overloaded". During the performance, in addition to the rider, each motorcycle will also have several or even dozens of performers displaying flags, raising guns, or stacking arhats, which attracted continuous applause from the audience in the stands.
Due to its uniqueness, this stunt by the Indian Army has also been successfully added to the Guinness Book of World Records. Well, the problem is that motorcycle stunts are full of dangers, and if you make a mistake, it is likely to cause physical harm to the soldiers. If young children follow suit, the danger will only be greater. Why does the Indian military retain such a project?
It is reported that the motorcycle show has a long history in India and can be traced back to the British colonial period. At that time, India's communication capabilities were not strong, and many places did not have electronic communication equipment. Coupled with the sabotage by local people, the British colonists recruited many motorcycle masters to meet the needs of intelligence transmission between the two places and asked them to be responsible for delivering messages.
Later, they also joined the motorcycle team in the military parade, with the purpose of discovering military talents with superb skills and driving skills. The motorcycle stunt team can be said to be one of India's special forces. They have superb driving skills and outstanding abilities. They can ignore the influence of terrain during war and quickly penetrate into the enemy's interior.
This was the case in the past, and it is the same now. Indian experts have carefully analyzed the current road conditions in India. Except for bridges with average load-bearing levels, many roads in India are not suitable for modern large vehicles, and the road hardening has not even been completed. , vehicles sometimes have to compete with the ubiquitous " Shenniu ", and driving is often not as fast as a motorcycle. Faced with reality and military needs, India loves motorcycles so much.
Many friends are also curious, why is the quality of motorcycles in India so good? This is because India once wanted to develop its own aircraft carrier system, but later found that building an aircraft carrier was not that simple. In the end, it gave up and transformed all the materials used to build the aircraft carrier into motorcycles.
It is said that most of the motorcycle materials in India come from the "Vikrant". The "Vikrant" is India's first aircraft carrier. After being old and disrepaired, it entered the scrapyard. At that time, there was an urgent need for motorcycles. Whether it was for a gimmick or a real surprise, the Indian people melted the aircraft carrier , and the melted recycled metal was used to make motorcycles. You must know that the steel of the aircraft carrier is not ordinary steel, so after it is made into a motorcycle, it will naturally not be a problem to carry so many people.
Although it is really a waste to use aircraft carriers to re-melt them to make motorcycles. But in any case, motorcycles have now become a major symbol of India. Interestingly, in order to commemorate "Vikrant", Indian motorcycle manufacturers have also launched a slogan to let "Vikrant" serve on land. You think motorcycle enthusiasts can't be moved by this.
