rooster59 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Thirty-two bikers detained for racing near Suvarnabhumi Airport By The Nation Troops, police and airport security officials rounded up 32 people for racing motorcycles on a main road near Suvarnabhumi Airport early on Saturday. The authorities seized 28 motorcycles in the operation while some bikers managed to break through the siege. Of the detained 27 male and five female suspects, 11 are teenagers aged between 14 to 18. Kittipong Kittikhachorn, the airport director of security operations, called for urgent help from Suvarnabhumi Police Station and troops when almost 100 motorcycles were seen on the airport’s security cameras racing on Suvarnabhumi 3 Road. The authorities laid siege to them, but many of the bikers broke through the siege by speeding towards the authorities and lifting up the front wheel of their bikes, terrifying the officials. Kittipong said police have strong evidence to prosecute the arrested because their actions were caught by the airports’ security cameras.

berybert Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Is this a new kind of stupid, trying to stop motorbikes by standing in front of them while they are heading at you at 40 or 50 Mph. I guess blow out strips wouldn't have been thought of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh! All those officials, soldiers and police and a few spotty teenagers give cause for a few pairs of underpants for the laundry . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksidedog Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I don't think there are many places in the world where youngsters don't speed around either in cars or bikes, racing each other. I used to. Most other places do though have people doing it who can actually ride/drive at least half sensibly. I suspect they will all pay a small fine and be back out racing before the weekend is out, somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redline Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Shoot a couple~assault with a deadly weapon, beat a couple up good, then destroy all the bikes, or sell them in a neighboring country. They are racing all night, nearly every night near where I live. It's very loud, and nothing is ever done about it. Or, they could just enforce the laws everyday all day?

Elkski Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 kids need a place to gather... just give them some safe zones. I was in Rayong at a resort and there was this biker band concert on an empty lot across from the ocean, thousands of bikers gathered here one night... T hen all gone the next day except for a few who tent camped it near the beach road.. A fiend and I walked up to the main gate and it looked like a fun event. I was surely the oldest guy and only Farang in sight. I would wager that some of these bikes have every fancy upgrade available and may contain 95 % of some of these kids wealth.

jaltsc Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) “The authorities laid siege to them, but many of the bikers broke through the siege by speeding towards the authorities and lifting up the front wheel of their bikes, terrifying the officials.” Put a rush on those submarines, double that order, make them nuclear, and add 20 tanks with missile launching capacity before these terrorists are able to obtain 150 cc. bikes. The arms race (Thai style) is on. Edited April 8, 2017 by jaltsc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I have seen motorbikes like these ones in Hua Hin, there are young drivers from Bangkok who have raced each other all the way to Hua Hin, they bike around for the weekend, and head back to Bangkok. It would be nice if the Police would sieze these bikes, and make the parents come and pay to get them back. These are not the 125cc bikes someone mentioned, they are indeed racing bikes. More ways that they young driver have to try and kill them selves and their passengers with in Thailand. It is the attitude, that this kind of people have that will keep Thailand in the top 20 countries of the world for high death rates on their highways and road ways, I doubt that this will change in my lifetime.

I guess blow out strips wouldn't have been thought of. Not a new tactic here. Several years ago I witnessed a police officer do a flying drop kick, knocking the bike driver (in motion) to the ground after he tried to go around the police checkpoint at the bottom of the Thai-Belgian flyover on Rama 4 Rd. Was pretty brutal but quite effective. Moral of the story, if the Police tell you to stop.... you need to stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai roads are lethal and there needs to be 'tough love'. Current fines and other punishments are pathetic but at least people are not shot by the cops for having a burnt out light!

Elkski Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 hot rodding has been a thing for 70 years... I just hate the way the same people who enjoyed it as kids now want those that enjoy this today should have their vehicles crushed. what % of accidents are caused by these bike groups?
