| Description |
English: Woman riding a big motorcycle and towing two other women!
In many parts of Benin, like here in Bohicon, it is common to see a woman driving a motorcycle or riding a bike. The woman here is trading and has to transport her products to market. For men to have a woman who knows how to drive a motorcycle is like having two women. The motorcycle or bicycle is considered to be the man's other wife, in view of the multiple functions of the bicycle or motorcycle. There is even a saying in Fon language that says that if your wife leaves you, it is not your motorcycle or bike that has left you. As long as you have one of these means of transportation, you can always get on with your life and have a new wife. This motorcycle is one of the big models of this brand. There's a certain trend that might think that only men can ride it. But, no, this woman rides it with a certain ease and this with two others behind, in the middle of downtown Bohicon.

Dans beaucoup de régions du Bénin comme ici à Bohicon, il est courant de voir la femme conduire une moto ou faire du vélo. La femme ici fait du commerce et doit transporter ses produits vers le marché. Pour les hommes avoir une femme qui sait conduire une moto, c’est comme avoir deux femmes. La moto ou le vélo est considéré comme l'autre épouse de l'homme, au regard des multiples fonctions du vélo ou de la moto. Il y a même un adage en langue fon qui dit que si ta femme te quitte, ce n'est pas ta moto ou ton vélo qui t'a quitté. Tant que tu as l'un de ces moyens de transport, tu peux toujours reprendre ta vie et avoir une nouvelle femme. Cette moto est un des gros modèles de cette marque. il y a une certaine tendance qui pourrait croire que seul l'homme peut la rouler. Mais, non, cette femme la roule avec une certaine aisance et ceci avec deux autres derrière, en plein centre ville de Bohicon.
