Good to hear that you, like myself, have kept yourself safe all those years through safe driving/riding rather than believing in fairy tales. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's you. The first picture shows the underside of the bike, the second is taken in the opposite direction and shows the top of the bike. You can clearly see the blue fuel tank (circled) in the first picture. Edited June 6, 2022 by ballpoint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer2021 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 5 hours ago, SAFETY FIRST said: Expect a hammering Mr Hammer2021 with this rediculous comment. I've been an owner of motorbikes above 1000cc for decades, I've owned a 3 bikes over 1000cc here in Pattaya. You see no reason but us bikers outnumber your reasons. People should be allowed to use them in designated tracks but NOT on public roads. Theybare suitable for long distance road trips but big bikes are an outdated form of transport, they are dangerous, they should not be classed as a holiday or recreational vehicle and there is no reason for them on public highways.

O course it's the same bike lying on the same bit of road. Look at its position relative to the yellow line. Look at the position of the yellow line relative to join in the road surface. Look at the shape of the fuel stain. Even that matches. Compare these 3 details and you'll see that everything matches. And one final question. Why fake it? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too know the area, and it happened right here: Looking in the direction of the first picture: Looking in the opposite direction (the second picture): The two photos are clearly the same bike. Same blue wheels, same damaged front forks with missing wheel, same join in the concrete road near the yellow line, and, as Moonlover stated, same fuel spill pattern.

lemonjelly Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Sounds like a young tourist with inadequate motorbike cornering skills, brake control etc. If that’s a rental bike, will the shop come after him for compensation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is indeed a rental bike, he is liable for the cost of replacement. The owner likely only has the compulsory insurance (CTPL), which covers limited 3rd party liability. These bikes can be rented all over town but I do not know if they restrict to whom. At least should have a full M/C licence, and in my mind be over 21. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps some comments are sad and cynical to someone who condones riding a bike with bald tyres, or perhaps do it themselves, but to those of us with more common sense it is utter foolishness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already responded looking at the photos again and agree it looks like the bike but my final question first picture location with the ambulances and all the road signs behind the ambulance I expanded the photos compare it with the other location. I live at the Lake these two photos unless you can produce a wider angle are two different locations. Is there anything in my posting that said " fake " Thai Rai does a poor job of reporting in the past! They can't even spell the Soi correctly?

If it is a rental bike then rental company deserve to get it back in bits for allowing it to be taken out with a completely worn rear tyre.
