Popular Post 4MyEgo Posted August 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2020 (edited) No helmet, speeding, in Thailand = the inevitable. Speedy recovery, maybe you will learn, i.e. if he survives that, that is a bad mix, in Thailand, let alone anywhere in the world. Should I assume that there will be a Go Fund me page set up soon ?

Popular Post Keyser Soze666 Posted August 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2020 Looks a bit of a wide boy, but still a sad tale regardless of that and no lid, insurance etc. At least his wife is here with him.

Popular Post PJPom Posted August 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2020 A very confusing tale, business class flights, bought house in Thailand, top class Hotels, bought expensive bikes. All came crashing down due to a moment of carelessness on a bike, now reduced to go fund me, as I said, confusing. 22 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If travel insurance, wouldn't have been any good on a bike over 125cc and doubly so without a helmet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Crossy Posted August 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2020 5 minutes ago, Eindhoven said: More accurately; The linked article has a quote from the provider Quote A spokeswoman for Virgin Money said: "We sympathise with Mr Standley and his family’s situation. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advised UK travellers to return home in May using repatriation flights. "Unfortunately not following FCO travel advice invalidates a policy. In addition, the maximum time our annual travel insurance policies cover single overseas stays is 90 days.” 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nausea Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 You don't bounce so well at 40, superfit or not. Seems like a nice guy, what a sh@#fest. Hope he has deep pockets. Personally, I steer away from motorcycles, unless absolutely necessary. My SO's pick up is the go to in most situations. Still, if some older guys want to take the chance up to them, so long as they realise the risks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say the above having lost a brother years after his motorbike accident where he got busted up badly, taking to the bottle which ended his life, sad for my mother to watch to this day 12 years on, I too was a bit of a loose cannon clocking up to 220km an hour on an open road, no side streets, however toned it down after my heart attack, so I suppose I learned, miss the bike though ???? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I have been able to extend it beyond that. Fully covered, even for COVID-19. He was just careless. Knowingly no insurance and no helmet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been through very similar, and some worse injuries from an accident myself and I have some empathy or him but, accidents are unavoidable and he could have quite easily avoided some of his injuries with some forethought. He obviously thought he was bulletproof. I’d never wish my 4 months in hospital, 5 years of rehab and lifetime disabilities on anyone, even a silly <deleted> such as him. My best wishes go to him 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
