By buying a bike that was obviously too much for him to handle and then crashing and flying the way he did.there was no one else involved so it looks like he might of hit a patch of black ice.

How do you know that? Maybe a wheel came off? It was brand new and assembled by the dealers' youngest engineer who was a mailman 2 weeks ago.

transam Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 The first bike I ever rode I crashed, broke my arm and trashed the bike, I was 14 at the time, but the accident was 100% my fault as the bike was all new to me.. We have a PCX, I can tell you it was a bit of a learning curve after the other light weight bikes we had had before.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, using that odd logic, everyone who has an accident in or on any type of vehicle is using a vehicle that is too much for that person to handle. Really? By the way, there is no evidence in the OP that the bike was "too much for him to handle". Regardless of your sarcasm, he may have hit a patch of oil, or diesel, or some gravel, or swerved to avoid some hazard, etc. There may have been a problem with the bike, PDIs aren't infallible, you know.

No it was definitely black ice and if he was alive it would of been brake failure.nothing to do with inexperience on a brand new bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And speculation doesn't count. Your such a hypocrite.in post 39 you waffle on about he could of hit oil,diesel or gravel or there might of been a problem with the bike.it that ain't speculation what is.stop trying to bait everyone and get a life.

I wasn't speculating, you were, try to get it in context. I was just suggesting equally likely events that could have happened in response to your speculation so that you could understand how little sense there was in your remark. Nothing hypocritical at all. To be hypocritical I would have to have said "this is what probably happened...", I didn't. "...get a life". Isn't it odd that those who have a different opinion to me, or just don't like what I post, so often resort to insults and accusations of baiting when the real baiting/trolling started with their own remarks that they can't back up if questioned about? What does "could of" mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherwood Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 This is Thailand. No big deal and it happens every day. You live, then one day you die, get over it. There is no blame here, all up to Buddha. Unless of course, you want compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 We had a lad turned up at my school the other day at lunchtime with a brand new bike - I don't know much about bikes, but this was a proper one with a big fuel tank behind the handlebars, not a step-through with the tank under the seat. He was from another school, but since he was still in boy scout uniform couldn't be more than 15. He was showing off to a gaggle of our girls (M2 and M3 - including my daughter). A couple of the Thai teachers told him to go away. He expressed his disdain by roaring off at high speed, weaving through the traffic at speed - no helmet of course - I give him three months max! I don't suppose he had a license. I know him, from a wealthy family (parents own a couple of resorts). He left my school under a bit of a cloud last year - various things including posting photos of himself masturbating on a girls "line chatgroup". I dobbed him into the nuns for that ( RC school ) after I discovered the photos on my tablet, which I had lent to my daughter. I can understand - to a point - young kids being allowed to ride bikes to school in rural areas, where there may be no other alternative, but this is in the middle of Chiang Rai, a city with a pretty good public transport system. Why are they allowed to ride like this? I confess that I dislike the little creature intensely, but I don't want to see him dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
