Father and Son Die in Motorcycle Crash During Test Ride of New Bike
From other photos he was in a sharp corner, with well marked red stripes for slowing down, just dumb on so many levels. More than likely going way too fast, no experience on a bike with this much power, and went too wide in the corner (typical new rider mistake), he actually crashed on the opposite side of the road. -

Australia Urged to Rethink ICC Membership Amid Controversial Arrest Warrants

Father and Son Die in Motorcycle Crash During Test Ride of New Bike
Such a sad and avoidable outcome. There really is no place for big bikes like this in Thailand. The safety training and rider testing is one thing. The roads, hazards and other road users are something else. A big bike like this can do 100+KMH in second gear, in about 4 seconds flat - keeping the front wheel on the ground can be a challenge. Top speed of circa 200kmh. Tragic loss of life and devastating for the family. -

Bangkok’s big truck crackdown: Clearing the air one gear at a time
Picture courtesy of Nikkei Asia by Bob Scott City Hall is gearing up for a major move to clean up Bangkok’s air quality, and the Department of Land Transport (DLT) is calling on all operators of six-wheeled trucks and larger vehicles to gear up for action. The city plans to roll out a groundbreaking Low Emission Zone initiative next year, targeting those notorious medium- and large-sized trucks to take on the city’s choking PM2.5 dust pollution. DLT chief Jirut Wisanjit laid out the scheme yesterday, November 27. If truckers want to hit nine key districts in the heart of Bangkok, they’ll need to play by the rules and register their beasts. It’s not just about signing up, truck operators must keep on top of their engine oil and air filter changes to stay on the right side of the law. Only those trucking titans that toe the line, or run on electric and NGV systems, will be given the green light to enter these zones, hotspots notorious for heavy traffic and sky-high pollution levels, said Wisanjit. “Our mission is crystal clear, we’re out to boost Bangkok’s air quality, stamp out pollution, and make life better for all the city’s residents.” Officials are raising the alarm over Bangkok’s smog situation, where clogged roads and perilous PM2.5 levels are a daily battle. The new programme zeroes in on truck maintenance and registration, ensuring that only eco-friendly rigs cut through the city’s most polluted zones. “This is all about protecting public health and joining the global fight against air pollution.” Truck operators need to get their vehicles in order, meeting the new standards. This bold move by the city underscores a firm commitment to battling pollution and nurturing a healthier environment for all. With the Low Emission Zone plan set to launch next year, the DLT is paving the way for cleaner air and setting the stage for future green policies. Get on board or get left behind!
