I wonder if the rider made it up there as well? Just what the world needs, Thailand's answer to Evel Knievel.

What a bizarre photo no low hanging birds nest of tangled wires to be seen????

[Tradewind777]

A high wire event alright! The daily madness on the roads here has it’s consequences. It’s easy to be trite and put laughable comments on here but this is just beyond a joke. The problem is, here it’s not a freak accident, it gets to be normal.

Amazing really, the first puff of wind can bring down most cables but they can hold a 100Kg motorbike. Kudo's to the guys who will get that down.

Hope E.T. was OK.

I' so sorry no have video or cctv

Everyone seems to have missed the point in the article, the flying motorbike was being transported in the pickup which swerved to miss another motorbike and crashed!

Soalbundy,

Truly looking forward to the video of when they get this bike down ( in one piece) onto the ground

 

Wonder if they can claim salvage rights ?

Read the link. No-one was driving it. Which almost spoils a good story.

I was wondering how long it would take for that comment to be made. 

Yawn.

Why is the back wheel missing from the truck?
