It's the samething for resident in north America drving mobil lawnmowers, quite a luxury stuff for regular folks.

Maybe he earns his living by renting it out to others

Second I see Tibetans driving snowmobile, which is just beyond imagination. It's a very expensive and luxury toy even in the west.

One manīs luxury is another manīs tool . Horses are luxury item in many parts of the world. And maybe he rents this snowmobile for tourists too

And one photo shows Tibetan motor cyclists took a rest at road side, drinking beer, that sucks. They're reckless.
