Only In Cuba 9 - Homemade Motorbikes ("Riquimbili") in Cuba

In Cuba, due to a shortage of public transportation, people have ingeniously created a homemade motorbike called Rick and Billy. These bikes are made by attaching a chainsaw motor to a Chinese bicycle, using a plastic bottle as a fuel tank, and a bent pipe for the exhaust. Despite being illegal and subject to fines, Rick and Billy bikes are a testament to Cuban creativity and are recognized for their noisy yet effective performance.
