webfact Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Daily News Thai Caption: Not easy to "wai" like that Daily News reported that Thai netizens were having fun online after a clip of a man in a balaclava doing some strange stunts on a motorcycle went viral. It happened on Pahonyothin Route 1 in Nakhon Sawan, northern Thailand. Of particular interest to Thais was one of the man's moves - lying down doing a kind of backward "wai" over the rear wheel. Someone suggested that the guy would soon be "waiing" food laid out amid joss-sticks at his funeral. Others were more serious pointing to the fact that such irresponsible riding could result in trouble for other road users.

The guy was laying on his back, what if a small child or animal ran in front of him. We must protect other road users. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just opens a can of worms why are parents and pet owners allowing small children and pets to run out in the road. ???????? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was into bikes a long time ago, aged 16 I had to get from home to work... no early morning buses in my neck of the woods back then. So for the fist year it was the "Fizzy" Yamaha FS1E 50cc moped. Then got onto a Kawasaki 250 which I kept for 5 years as a summer rider. Aged 17 I took & passed my driving test, got a licence and a car saved up for during my first year apprenticeship. When the marriage and family came along the bike went in favour of a more reliable car. Never got the urge to get back on one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like doing wheelies actually and don't see the point of a video, most bikes will wheelie if you make them but not all on just accelerating. 2 hours ago, SAFETY FIRST said: This road looks remote too, but the kid still found a dog to hit, now the parents are without their child. https://aseannow.com/topic/1262063-teenage-boy-dies-after-colliding-his-motorbike-with-a-dog-crossing-the-road-in-sri-racha/ Accident for many reasons sadly happens a lot of the time here.

Easy fix, several ways of getting the twist handlebar throttle grip to stay in a fix position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
