It's a band. On a motorcycle. In Russia
We all knew that Russia is the place for opulent indulgence and incredible feats, but this video might take the cake. Youtube user tigfinger posted this amazing video of an entire band playing in a motorcycle and sidecar speeding down the Russian highway, happily playing along as if nothing were amiss.
The story gets even more interesting when you translate the title of the video, Бременские музыканты. Наши дни into English: Town Musicians of Bremen: Today. It turns out, the Town Musicians of Bremen is a folktale from the Brothers Grimm in which four traveling musicians set out on a long journey to Bremen only to never make it to their destination.
How that applies to this group one can only guess -- but it's a great storyline for this video.

Where there is a will...there is a way! Rock on boys - just keep it safe and make sure the driver keeps his eyes on the road...however I was more concerned about other driver's watching YOU and not the road.

For the reason behind the name of the clip, see the following:

That is a Russian cartoon about the Brothers Grimm tale (circa 1969) and in this specific scene the band is playing a song while riding in a carriage.

That is so NOT the translation of the title of the video. Did you use google translator? ugh
