II his one of the ones that keep ripping up and down Jomtien second road all night long.

All i can say, is hope the bike and the road recovers.

This road has claimed many motorcyclists (I recall about 2 years ago a woman riding home after work drove into the back of a parked truck around the same time of day). 

 

Then there was this one, where the driver - the son of a "Russian Mogul" - was showing off with his Soi 6 girl on the back, plowed into a tourist crossing the street. https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/1393214/three-killed-after-russians-big-bike-ploughs-into-korean

I used to live at the corner of Thappraya and Pratamnak in the Axis on the 3rd floor and my room faced the street. It was non stop high speed motorcycles with the exhaust pipes modified to sound like a small airplane all day and night. All of these major roads in town need speed humps (not speed bumps) put in, just like the road along Dongtan Beach. Most of the time traffic jams limit driving speeds to below the speed limit anyway., so these speed humps wouldn't be much of a bother. It would sure put a stop to all of these wanna be MotoGP riders on their clapped out two stroke scooters.

The motorcycle involved, a black Kawasaki Z1000 with the registration number from Bangkok, was found approximately 300 metres away from the crash site. A long trail of engine oil indicated the bike had skidded at high speed before coming to a stop.  
 

According to eyewitness accounts provided by a foreign national, the victim was riding at an excessive speed when he failed to navigate a curve, causing the bike to mount the central island and collide with the trees.

 

RIP, but this has happened many times over the years. They put horrible pictures of illness and cancer on cigarette packets, and are talking about doing the same for booze. Maybe they should do something similar for big bikes, plaster them with photos of the horrendous physical results of a high-speed crash.

Not able to manage the "curve" on Thappraya rd.?

(a long mild bend)

What would happen if there is a real curve?
