In June of 2008, I went to India for business. I was there for 3 weeks, and took some time to go sightseeing. While most of the places I wanted to photograph didn't allow it (active temples, etc.) I did get some photos, mostly of sights in and around Mysore, which is a couple of hours drive from Bangalore.
There is no real reason why this is funny or strange. Other than a Western cultural bias that says cops are too arrogant to travel in a way that makes sense. How can you look like you're The Man when you're riding on the back of a motorcycle?
Another thing I wished I'd have gotten a photo of would be all the times I saw an entire family of 4 on a motorcycle or scooter. Dad would have a little one on the tank in front of him, and mom would be in back with a little one between her and dad.
