most people will say internet  iPad

you add up the figures

bikes or scooters  in china Asia especially Indonesia  

Africa  not so much the western world 

i bet the numbers would outweigh 

everything else

Whats the best British invention Thailand uses, Or any other Asian county. Come to that. Computer, i phone tex, I bet they probably dont even know who invented them ,  along with many other people in the world.

It's funny how a scooter in Thailand is called a motorcycle. 5555


Or, according to many Brits who should know better, a moped.

It might have been the Honda step-through before the Web, but the web has changed everything to a degree that's hard to grasp, and thew pace is accelerating. Imagine the educational and social changes that will happen once the solar and battery technology gives everyone in every remote village 1GB a second access to all the world's information. 

My old BSA Bantam D3 would be over 60 years old by now....

...and most of them will use it to watch porn.

Honda Super Cub is the biggest selling motor vehicle ever, 90 million plus sold.

 

So a good argument it's one of the most important inventions changing peoples lives around the world for the last 60 or so years.

 

Jet engine is another good one.

The polio vaccine has to be up there.  The amount of disease and worry about getting the disease was very high back in the 50's.  Definitely a game changer.

Dad is probably the local cop.

Best invention is the sign and toll booth operators that keeps them off of some of the motorways!

Funny how a small motorbike like a Honda Wave 125 is called a scooter.

Well if they weren't poor they wouldn't need to do it.

As for the police, no !!  the police just make them poorer.

Bangkok or bust is Correct !!  don't know if your a Brit or know what Brit's bikers call different 2 wheeled vehicles.

 

Thais call scooters,  motorcycles,  Brits call em scooters.

 

Thais call Honda Wave type bikes,  motorcycles,  most Brits bikers refer to them still as Moped's.

 

Thais call motorcycles,  Big Bikes,  Brits bikers call em motorcycles or motorbikes.

 

Harley's are 2 wheeled tractors. whoop's.  :laugh:

5555,yes back in the 80's a moped ,but they had pedals and clutch to start it. The Garelli.

Viagra and the cellphone!  I had a Honda motorbike 50 years ago when at the University, of course, no license. Electric starter, clutch and no pedals!

 

small motorbikes and scooters have been around for over 100 years.  Just because you finally figured out how to ride one doesn't make it a great invention.  I can think of a lot of other inventions much more helpful to mankind.  5555555

I think the jet airliner rates higher than a scooter.

penicillin, it saved many lives in the 2nd world war and people who would have previously had limbs amputated for infection remained whole.

As much as I enjoy running around town on my Honda Click "motorbike", I have to say that I think the internet is the greatest invention of the last 100 years.  Whether you use a computer or smartphone to access the internet, it is the greatest repository of knowledge humans have ever created.
