Read the link and find out the full story.

The 24 year old big bike rider was found deceased at the scene. He was wearing a long-sleeved green shirt with a Grab logo, a round-neck black t-shirt, and long jeans. His body showed signs of a broken neck and nearly severed left hand.

Big bike, 24 years old, 4.30am; live fast, die young.

Big bikes used to be the vehicle of choice for ex-pats mainly and often on the routes South from Hua Hin to oil related destinations, where they worked or transited offshore to the Gulf of Thailand.
After being out of Thailand for majority of the Covid period, I see on returning that a lot of locals have big bikes now and indeed some very shapely young leather clad ladies amongst them! 
I suspect that road users in general are not used to the speed and lower visibility of these bikes, in common with many other countries. 
My wife’s male cousin owned a big bike several years ago, in the Ubon Ratchathani area. Unfortunately he too fell victim in a road accident, leaving a young wife and two young kids without a husband and father.

Of course there is no public concern at all, sadly

Presumably it was the car driver not the motor cyclist.

Nothing wrong with the bikes if ridden sensibly, sadly missing in Thailand that's why there are so many accidents and deaths.

But not in this case... the bike rider was definitely deceased.

Tiny brains are no match with big bikes.

Any insight into what the concern is?
