They need to make it law that you can't hire a bike unless you have a motorcycle licence. 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChrisY1 Posted June 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2014 If it wasn't serious, I'd be laughing.....Russians and fast motorbikes do not mix...apart from generally being dreadful drivers, and riders, just add booze and they're anybody's!! Anyway......I did laugh after all!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post technologybytes Posted June 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 27, 2014 Thailand is one of very few countries in the world where you can rent a superbike, the only problem with that is that you don't need a licence or to even know how to ride a motorbike. Putting a young man who only has experience of smaller bikes on a superbike is a recipie for disaster. It's actually surprising there isn't more carnage than there is. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to make it law that you can't hire a bike unless you have a motorcycle licence. license doesnt prevent stupid Yes very true. My comment about the licence is more to protect the innocent and not the idiots. It appears that this machine was way to powerful for him and if he had a licence he would have had some training/experience and he would have been able to handle such a beast. If companies required customers to be licenced then the innocent pedestrian in this story may not have been injured. Let the idiots kill themselves but make a licence compulsory to protect the innocent victims 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostmebike Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Doesn't say if he had been drinking and although it was morning time, I've seen the Russians drinking at breakfast down there in Pattaya. Regardless of the presence of alcohol or not, 20 years old, probably no big bike experience either and IMO, a disaster waiting to happen. I agree with Chooka, make it law, no licence, no rental. Chances are, no bike licence, no bike experience! And looking at the Pattaya One pics, that was a 650, a lot to handle with no experience ... I know, I had one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamNoone88 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Its seems to me that the municipality is to be partly blamed for the wide spread disrepair of the roads which result in accidents from people hitting potholes and this idiot is to blame for being just plain stupid. At least he seems remorseful which is probably more than the municipality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newermonkey Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 At least he is not smilling like a cheshire cat as a Thai would do in his situation. I blame the fairground atmosphere of Pattaya, it gives these tourists the wrong impression that they are welcome to try and do anything without repercussions, unfortunatly for him he will loose his holiday money and will probably be on the phone to his dad to send more cash to get him out of the can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"no pot holes in the city center" So that he and idiots like him can get up to even greater speeds before losing control? The fundamental problem here was not the pothole.

Putting a young man who only has experience of smaller bikes on a superbike is a recipie for disaster. It's actually surprising there isn't more carnage than there is. Don't know much about bikes, do you? From the photos, the wrecked Ninja could be anything from a 250cc to a 650cc, neither which fall into the classification of "super bike". 250-300cc are classified as "quarter liters". A 650cc falls into the class of "half liter". You have to have 1,000cc or better to be considered a "full liter" bike, and at least 1,500 cc to be considered a "super bike". And if you knew anything about Russia, you would know that most bike sold there are 500cc or bigger. Unlike S.E. Asia, they seldom do the "scooter" type of bike, with 250-300cc being considered as "beginner bikes". Please try to have some knowledge of a subject matter before you expound on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
