KKr Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 well, sorry for the riders who went out for what is supposed to be a fun event, may they RIP. But if they were not obeying traffic rules as in not keeping distance, not allowing overtaking vehicles to weave in, obstructing traffic flow then accidents are bound to happen. Some people like to go places at a reasonable speed, say 90 kmh, and a bunch of outlaws blocking the street in front of you for an undetermined period while on a long distance trip is rather frustrating, and yes, I do overtake. And if a truck comes up ahead of me while I am indicating to the left already and am not let in, yes, I choose the lesser evil and move to the left, carefully. As for the driver doing a runner, while despicable, I am not surprised given the attitude that certain people portray as their cool image. My take: Grow up bikers, and share the roads responsibly !

So much for "safety in numbers". Sad, 2 gone forever, 98 with a trip that they'll never forget, especially for the member who accidentally run over them.

cardinalblue Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hard to believe they were directly run over by other bikes and not causing them to fall as well... doubt thai authorities have the expertise to decide convincingly cause of death... will matter down the road in terms of penalty....
