Never under estimate idiots they can always find a way if they want to.

And once you realise  how  stupid the average person is,  just bear in mind that half the population is even more stupid than that

The pictures  are from the incident scene as reported in the post, or do you think I just made it up?

Right at the bottom of the picture, it looks like impact has ripped the top yoke away from the steering head. FFS, he must have been doing Stupid mph to do that!! The forks aren't at that angle to the frame because they're bent!

Maybe inexperience, i saw one yesterday on Pratumnak on a rental, hard to crash there

The way so many bikes fly downhill on Pratumnak-5, a congested area all times of day, I'm surprised there aren't more bad accidents there.  Stopping a speeding bike is hard enough, downhill makes it that much more dangerous.

The only relief was, he didn't much suffer before his last moment.

 

And doing what he enjoyed. Almost fits, short and happy, but, strictly speaking, the ANF Life Coach Approved® ending is with a smile on one's face during a bonk. We've had verified instances of the bonk, Viagra nearby, but have always extrapolated the smile.

Drive like a fool, die like one. Sad but true.

Fortunately he didn’t kill anyone. Every single frik’n day I see so called farang “professional riders” or at least they think they are, driving frik’n stupid trying to look smart. I can care less if someone kills themself, just don’t take anyone else out in the process.

I live near the incident and I think your description of what happened is spot on.

 

That is an easy U-turn manoeuvre under the flyover and going left of the flyover leads to the new-style U-turn lane; This was an accident with the flyover.

 

I don't believe the first picture relates to the incident - those bikes are facing the wrong way on a carriageway and that is not a 900cc bike.

That flyover/U-turn approach is tricky on a motorbike.  If like me, I'm usually in the leftmost lane, letting faster traffic pass by on the right.  There are arguably 5 lanes of traffic. The U-turn configuration isn't readily apparent until you are close and realize that to continue straight travel, you have to cross 2 lanes to the right pretty quickly to enter the flyover. That's not easy with traffic flying by on the right.  I have often found myself taking the U-turn ramp just because I couldn't cross right safely in time.

 Well none of them are actually rockets in reality so I guess  you are technically correct . 

                I didn't realise that there was an "official" definition of a slang phrase like "crotch rocket"    probably because there isn't one.    Its a 900cc motorcycle that is capable of very high speed and acceleration  and the main point of contact with the rider is the crotch.   That fulfills the definition of crotch rocket for all but the most pedantic on here.  There is nothing ignorant about describing it as such, in fact a motorcycle half the size would fit the description
