RIP, not a nice way to go, hopefully it was quick though.

Severe head injuries, not wearing a helmet maybe, or not having one strapped on..............

R.I.P. to yet another rider.

The story leaves out a lot of needed information.
 

Was he really a tourist or was he living here?
Was it actually his motorbike or was it rented?
Did he have a valid license for driving motorbike in Thailand?

If no on the last one and motorbike rented, then they should jail the rental guy/girl.

Rain, roads, and bikes don't mix well. RIP mate ???? Hope the end came real quick.

Is any of that relevant at all ????

 

 

Was he really a tourist or was he living here?

Completely irrelevant...  Or would you be implying that if he’s a tourist he doesn’t know how to ride here and was the architect of his own demise ?

Was it actually his motorbike or was it rented?

Again... how is the relevant at all ???...  Or would you be implying that if borrowed or rented motorcycle he doesn’t know how to ride here and was the architect of his own demise ?

Did he have a valid license for driving motorbike in Thailand?
Yes, relevant from a legal perspective - but does a licence or not relate cause of an accident?

If no on the last one and motorbike rented, then they should jail the rental guy/girl.

That was ‘supposed’ to be the law - can’t rent without a licence or an IDP - but businesses do not care.

 

None of it is relevant if a motorcyclist is going to ride dangerously, OR, if he’s riding perfectly safely but another vehicle is on the wrong side of the road and hits them etc...

Pillion rider, wearing a decent looking helmet, seems to be cradling the (helmeted) head of the deceased..

 

Can't be positive due to pixelizing..

 

Blunt force trauma to the chest?

 

RIP bike rider

No, I wouldn´t be talking or implying anything of that? Just some garbage, that lives in your dreams.

Nah, already have that. However, your post is strange. You say that you ask for a friend, but at the same time point your question at me. Do you want your friend to answer?

I’m trying to understand your posts - the reasoning or basis of your posts, what you may be trying to say or implying - if its none of that, what are you implying then ?

You need to look inward at yourself and your comments - the reason you are getting these responses is because it is YOUR post which is strange....  

 

...‘the asking for a friend part’ was clearly just to add some humour - you may not have understood that.

Don´t bother, every time I post something, it seems like it´s a little bit too hard for. Not necessarily anything wrong. Might be that I have difficulties to express in a way you understand. Sorry for that Richard, but I see it better to continue post and, disregard that fact.

Unfortunately you don't understand written English 100%, that's not a criticism by the way.

No, that was a comment to another person.

So now is the right time to invoke article 4 of NATO, yes?

What humor do you find in this man's motorbike death?

 

Very sad indeed. I just do not understand why these old geezers insist in riding motorbikes in Thailand when they know how dangerous it is. I often see foreign old guys with their tanned ladies hanging on the back of their bikes weaving through Thailand traffic. It is much safer to buy a car or rent one for the period of stay in Thailand. Anyone who rides a  motorbike in Thailand is taking their life in their hands.

Aged 69 riding a bike in the wet in a country where one rider is killed every 30 mins, not very wise is it. Never ridden a bike and never will, death traps all too often here.

Are you in cahoots with Gottfrid ???

Misunderstanding the comment then throwing criticism highlighting that misunderstand while remaining completely unaware !!.. 

 

I’ll explain as this is your ‘first time’ but after that you’re on your own and will just have to try a little harder and not jump to dumb conclusions... 

 

... In his first post on this thread, Gottfrid asked a lot of seemingly unrelated and irrelevant questions... not sure what was going through his mind, I tried to decipher some sense from his comments but drew a blanc when asking what he meant giving examples of what he could have meant... 

 

Another poster; hot chilli, ridiculed the pointlessness of his [Gottfrid’s] comments by responding and asking an equally inane, irrelevant and pointless question of Gottfrid.... ‘do you want his shoe size too ?’.... 

 

But also added - 'asking for a friend’ (imaginary)..   because he [hotchilli] is not stupid enough to ask such a dumb question himself, ergo, the ‘humour part’.... 

 

Thus: The humour part was in ridicule of Gottfrid’s comment and not aimed at all to the incident itself where a motorcyclist has died. 

 

Thus: While stubbing your toe in attempting to climb and claim the moral high ground your virtue signalling has simply served to highlight that sadly your teachers may have failed you in key areas of reading comprehension....

They certainly present an elevated degree of risk.... they do in any country. 

 

In Thailand we can significantly reduce the risk and place ourselves in a situation where the bulk stats don’t apply to us by adopting to the following: 

1) Not riding in the wet

2) Not riding at night

3) Never riding when drunk / after drinking

4) Never speeding

5) Defensive riding

6) Never assume the car will not pull out etc

7) Never assume we’ve been seen etc

8 ) always wear a good helmet

9) Wear decent gear *where practical

 

*where practical - going to a 7-11, ok, perhaps no need for a jacket and riding pants etc.. but if going for a 1 hr ride somewhere etc...  gear up.

Yeah Richard, it´s all a misunderstanding.
