Hard to believe...youtube has a bunch of videos of amazing trucking feats in Siberia.

Those people are either insane or intoxicated or both .

 

[MasterBlaster]

Business as usual?

 

[woodworkingboy]

Wild...simply wild. Potato eaters?

 

[stig]

Nope.
Potato drinkers!

A gasoline tanker may float.

 

[Mr. Sir]

Bridges? We don't need no lousy stinkin' bridges.

 

[stig]

Kind of beats the hell out of " Ice road truckers" and " Axe men " doesn't it?

 

[woodworkingboy]

I pictured a truck rolling over... You could be fooked.

 

[Reddog]

From a lot of the Ride reports I have read of Motorcycles crossing Russia, all of that is SOP.

A gasoline tanker may float.

From what I saw it looked like it did a little bit .

Freaking crazy

 

[No_Bivy]

not for the faint of heart. is that a russia tour bus?

 

[top_notch]

Interesting choice of music for that tanker movie! Wonder what class of CDL they need to drive those trucks

Crazy Driving Lunatics

CDL

 

[woodworkingboy]

It turns out those drivers love the water and are scared of driving on the roads.

Trevin said "I think you would want your windows up for that"

 

[flushcut]

That's Chuck Norrises daily commute.

 

[canadiantreeman]

Nutz!

 

[chris_girard]

Man those guys can drive!

 

[Al Smith]

I wonder how many drivers they drown in a year .

 

[MasterBlaster]

What, they can't swim?

 

[Al Smith]

They'd have to be polar bears to survive more than about 4 minutes in that cold of water .Geeze that would be about like taking a dip in the north Atlantic .

 

[stig]

What is wrong with swimming in the North Atlantic?
I grew up swimming in that. As long as you don't get hit by icefloes, you're okay
