anthobkk Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 A friend shared this video on Facebook today and I can't believe how stupid this guy is. Also it looks like it happened in LOS isn't it ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiPiFFS Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Seen the same thing or similar many times here. The best was a big fat german trying to impress his mates on a rented harley at the lights. Loads of revs, dropped the clutch then drove straight across the road into a shop front. I couldn't stop laughing ! I don't though get what this guy is trying to do ?

Briggsy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Looks like Thailand. Can't see the plate to get the province. Possibility it is a fake due to no aftermath and very loud movie-style crash noise. Crashes are often more of a thud. But probably real. No, I don't know him. If the vid is real, he is a knob and noob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 If it is real, it looks like he failed to see that the fence is considerably nearer than the main road. If he looked at the cars on the main road, he would have planned to stop several metres after the fence and then realised too late and braked very badly causing the bike to skid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Costas2008 Posted August 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 30, 2014 And then, we have the cheek to blame the Thais, for stupidity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketjock Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It looks very much like Tescos main shop on the bypass road in Phuket. And it looks like the Thais are getting really desparate now they are renting bikes to blind tourists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttakata Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I hear of many stories like this. This is why it is hard to test ride bikes everywhere in the world. Some people grip the throttle and forget they have to let it go as they panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inepto Cracy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 The place is Tesco Lotus Samkong, Phuket. In the picture you can see the Aphrodite Show Theatre. If I knew this guy I would not advertise the fact, it would lower my social standings. Hope the guy survived? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJP Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Watched a Taiwanese lad rent a quad on Koh Samet. He shot out of the shop, across the road, up the kerb . . . and straight up a tree! Wouldn't stop holding the throttle back until he'd successfully climbed said tree and fallen out of said tree backwards. Another, out of the same hire shop, girl from the UK, rented a scooter, shot out of shop, across the road, up the kerb and straight into the Buddha image. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gsxrnz Posted August 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2014 I particularly liked the way he used his feet to assist the braking. Yeah, like that's gonna help. And love the "stiff arm" riding style, which prevented him from not only rolling off the throttle but actually rolled it on more as he applied more front brake. The Prat probably thought the left lever was a clutch. The only thing missing to make this a truly classic video was a Chang singlet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gweiloman Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It looks like he was test riding the scooter, doing a figure of eight, acceleration and braking. Guess the last bit was a fail. Wonder if he had to buy the scooter or tried to claim that the brakes are faulty thus not having to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gweiloman Posted August 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2014 Is this a wannabe rider i wonder ? I doubt it. Wannabee riders wear full face helmets plus jackets, pants and riding boots. Also, wannabee riders don't know how to countersteer around obstacles. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
