A Finnish man has been found dead on a ‘chopper’ and sidecar in Pattaya yesterday.

 

“A chopper is a type of custom motorcycle which emerged in California in the late 1950s. The chopper is perhaps the most extreme of all custom styles, often using radically modified steering angles and lengthened forks for a stretched-out appearance.”

 

Pattaya Law Enforcement reports that they were notified that the body of a man was found slumped on a motorbike yesterday near Boonnakanjanaram Temple in Patttaya, Banglamung.

Not a Raleigh Chopper then?

The red sidecar looks nice.

Plenty information about the bike,very little information

about the deceased,looking at the photo he appears to 

be nude, or is it just my old eyes.

Not a very good image a chopper with a side car and a tatty old flag at the back, but then again it looks like he was in a wheel chair, so it got him from A to B usually 

what happens to the bike now? A new toy for off duty bib?

Where is his girlfriend???

And now an off topic video, Someone has died have you no respect?

Hardly a chopper, and it looks like the poor guy was disabled as the sidecar had a wheelchair in it. Maybe  an underlying medical problem, but sad anyway.

She was on another chopper elsewhere.

Poor man - note the "skull & crossbones" on the rear of the saddle, sadly appropriate.

Not a ladyboy chopper either ^^

Stock standard bike.  No 'chopper'about it. 

Gentlemen, shall we have some respect for the dead in this case. Poor bloke was already having a difficult life relying on a wheel chair. Takes big balls to ride a bike and get around in a wheelchair when incapacitated.

Disgusting, people on here making wisecracks about a poor man who was disabled.

Shame on you, have you no respect?

I guarantee that the members making sick comments are not themselves disabled.

Died on the saddle. Not the worst way to go.

I've seen this guy and his handicap chopper in Ban Chang before. RIP.

Looks like the deceased made whatever efforts he could to live life as fully as he could, unlike the sad covey of malcontents on this forum who spend their days taking delight in the misfortune and tragedies of others.

Sadly quite a few have no respect and just use the threads to score points.

people on here wisecrack about everyone and frequently show no reverence for the dead whatsoever.

 

the fact that he is disabled earns him no more or less respect despite your insistence to the contrary.

 

quit gatekeeping. it grows old fast.

"...he appears to be nude, or is it just my old eyes"

No, it's just that you didn't bother to read the full report, as per normal.

I just find it weird he died alone on his motorbike and gf not there and not reporting him missing 

Disabled or not it's a sad and undignified way to die.he may of had underlying health problems due to being wheelchair bound and not able to exercise.RIP old chap and hope he has a better life in the next world.

He had a girlfriend?  How long had he been undiscovered dead or "missing"?
