Crazyswede has died

[Exige]

Another biker gone to the heavens.
RIP Crazyswede, and condolences to his family.

I'll stick to mountain bikes in the sticks!

Thai roads are dangerous enough ( even for those that ride mountain bikes and live clean healthy lifestyles).After a heavy party weekend at a bike show your not going to be riding at your best and then throw Thai drivers into the mix and you have a recipe for disaster !!!

RIP Crazyswede

[VocalNeal]

Consider yourself lucky Peter, there are a lot of unskilled drivers on those Thai roads fuelled with M150 that could wipe you out in an instant.
Every lane is an overtaking lane in Thailand, the biggest vehicle has priority, cnuts driving the wrong way up the hard shoulder, Career truckers, minivans, buses all driving fatigued and doing 6 days straight and long hours and the same boring journey. Buses stopping on motorways to let p[assengers on and off. I could go on and on

Yes driving/riding in Asia requires 100% attention, 100% of the time. That's why I like it here. No time to talk on mobile, text or even look at the passenger (car) when driving. Just drive/ride.

The moment one does not give 100% attention then...

Sad about the future young mother.

a car coming from the other direction hit him. The rest is too cruel to tell.
.

Why is it too cruel to tell? One presumes he was killed by the impact.

[ENT]

RIP Crazyswede.

I fell off three times, twice on the road, lack of attention.
I don't ride any more, except as clingon with a full face carbon helmet.

Always sad to hear of events like this, certainly makes you think. RIP dude.

Yep, you especially I'd imagine, having just brought a bike.

You know, my greatest fear is not going suddenly but sitting around at the end of my life and having regrets about not doing something or other.

You gotta get and there and do what you love, do it sensibly and not think about the consequences too much.

[FailSafe]

RIP.

Most riders that have spent more than five minutes in the saddle understand that riding motorcycles comes with inherent risks, and I'm sure this guy knew that as well- it's a damned shame to hear about it regardless.

I hope that lack of proper gear on his part wasn't a contributing factor- if he had a head-on collision it probably wasn't.

What specific thing haven't you done that you are referring to.

Because I daresay that it doesn't even occur to most people what it is they haven't done till it's too late. They never even thought it through while younger.

ie buying that R1

I don't disagree. Specifically as it relates to bikes / riding bikes here I still miss it a lot, I've ridden most my life and love it.

Priorities change though and, for me personally, I couldn't really justify it any more once my kids were born. Hopefully I can get back into again one day soon, it will just be at a much more sedate pace.

[daveboy]

R.I.P not a nice way to go.

[astasinim]

Condolences to family and loved ones. RIP Crazyswede.

What specific thing haven't you done that you are referring to.

As a youth I used to go skiing with my pals, one of our group of friends refused to learn because he said it was dangerous. He never went and missed out on awesome experiences, Thats kind of the point I'm trying to make.

'not having done gigi-gigi with a ladyboy

Not something I would regret, I thought about doing that already and decided against it

I couldn't really justify it any more once my kids were born.

Understand 100%. I don't and most likely never will have kids, In place of kids, I have toys.

[Koetjeka]

sad tidings indeed, he must have been coming back from the bike show in BURIRAM..

I'm not sure if it was a bike show, I thought it was more like a Harley group, 3 of it's Thai members were at the funeral.

It was a head-on collision, you can take this litterally.

This was posted on a local Surin Forum Bike Nights .

Good show. Plenty more shops than most shows and more farang visitors too. Stage show, as always was too much speaking and not enough action. Lost Crazyswede sometime late saturday night. I think he was trying to help them run out of Chang! 555

Sad news whenever a fellow biker meets his maker prematurely, and I hope alcohol wasn't a contributing factor in this accident, although many times it is - especially in Thailand.

RIP Crazyswede and condolences to family and friends.

[larvidchr]

RIP Swede. Condolences to wife and family.

Ditto RIP.

[Ratchaburi]

Rip Crazyswede & born to be free. Also condolences to his family.

[The Master Cool]

RIP.

RIP crazyswede & condolences to his family.
I'll ride in the US, but this is just another reason why I refuse to ride in Thailand. Very sad to read.

[Mr Earl]

RIP, we've all got it coming sometime, we just don't know when. At least he died doing something he loved. Still it's a terrible blow for his familly and friends.
For the rest of us: stay alert.

[Cujo]

Sad to hear, especilly for the unborn baby.

I kind of feel for the guy who died more

Are you kidding.
He's dead.
The Childs whole life has been changed.
From a life of plenty, maybe grow up in Germany, at least be exposed to western concepts and values and a good education and therefor job and futere,have nice clothes and shoes.
To being a village boy.
Maybe I don't know, but the kids future just went from good to bad.
If you can't feel for that, well, i don't know what to say.

[Cujo]

RIP.

Jaysus christ, that guy on the left is my dopelganger, I thought it was me from some moment I forget pissed in a bar somewhere untill i noticed the jacket.
Scary.
(Which one's the dead guy by the way?)

True that.
Or perhaps just thinking about it, never getting around to it, because there's always tomorr......

Are you drunk Koojo ?


Why would the child grow up in Germany ?
I thought Swedes were from, Sweden
The guy was retired so I doubt his baby would have been going to Europe for schooling anyway
Hopefully the guy had some good life insurance

As for not feeling sympathy for someone who's life has just come to an abrupt and horrific end, I dont see your logic
