A Kuwaiti tourist crashed his motorbike into a power pole in the small hours of Wednesday, August 16th. He suffered only minor scratches and injuries and was taken to a hospital by his friends.

 

Police Lt. Col. Niphon Intarakul, a duty officer at the Nongprue police station, told The Pattaya News that the accident occurred at 1:00 AM near a mobile phone repair shop in the Banglamung district of Chonburi.

 

Emergency responders rushed to the accident scene to rescue the victim after getting a phone call from a witness only to find a group of Kuwaiti men surrounding a damaged gray Honda Forza motorcycle.

Another day, another Arab in the hospital for bad driving. 

 

Lucky for him, it was only a forza, not some crotch rocket.

You can kill yourself on any motorcycle, no matter what the make or model is. The Forza BTW can top 130kph

That's second gear on a real bike. 

We should start hiring out 600 and 1000cc proper bikes and these middle eastern goons problem will solve itself in no time, 
I remember 10-20 years ago where there's weekly Farang wrapped around poles from 'big bike' rentals 

That's one less to annoy folk........

 

I hope he has a nice bill to fix the bike.......????

I thought the police had a handle on this problem. I guess NOT.

A power pole can stop you in 0-6 inches.

How's the power pole?

Still, I was a little surprised, as I thought they were mostly limited to smaller engine sizes, like PCX/ Click etc, up to 160cc.

Inshallah! God's will?

At least he didnt drive someone else into the hospital. To bad he had only minor injury.

Poor pole.

I've heard a lot of Kuwaitis have small engines, that's why they thrash motorcycles.

 

It's a manhood thing.

You can find a number of adverts on line for Forza rentals (and larger bikes) in Pattaya. 

 

Actually I don't know why folks are making such a big issue of the size and type of machine. This was obviously a low speed accident anyway.

I can't believe I just read that.

 

Does your mum know you're on the computer?

Poor (rich) boys. First time out of the cage they live in. Out of control (literally).

Makes a change from,  "Power Pole Slams into Kuwaiti Motorcyclist in Pattaya"....

Because the roads are dangerous enough.... if they are soon to be racing around on crotch rockets, I would like to know.

Pattaya Plod are installing mobile power poles all over Kuwaiti hot-spots.

Of course. You can kill yourself walking down the street and tripping too. My point is it's much easier to kill yourself on a big bike than a scooter. Especially when you're not used to the almost unlimited power.

I think that @Enoon in his reply to you above hit the nail on the head very nicely as far your 'point' goes.

Having owned more than 50 motorcycles, many of them over 1000cc, I may have a different viewpoint than most on here. Please quantify your experience or lack thereof. 

 He suffered only minor scratches and injuries .So sorry about that

Story is about a Kuwaiti running into a pole in Pattaya on a Forza..... your experience as stated, would appear to have near zero relevance. I might be better qualified having lived and worked in both Pattaya and Kuwait. I've see a Forza too!

The owner of the property damaged must have thought Christmas has come early ????

When he found out it was a Kuwaiti involved when discussing Compensation costs ????
