Thread: Phuket Holiday Ends in Tragedy as Helmetless British Man Crashes Motorcycle

Nice friends, so young too, I could do with the years he has thrown away RIP JR

should expect another helmet "crackdown" .

Poor guy. Very sad to think he may be alive if he'd worn a lid.

He was a decent guy. I knew him for a short while as he was with the wife's sister for many years. Amazingly enough he visited a friend in a coma for many days in the hospital in Phuket for exactly the same thing in October. I guess that was not enough to convince him to wear a proper helmet and to not go zipping around on his motor bike drunk.

The village will certainly not be the same as he was a unique individual.

Best wishes to his family as I know they have been concerned with his well being for a while now.

Rip

Very sad story, sounds a decent fellow, but nobody to blame but himelf.

Just fortunate he didnt take anyone else with him.

Its a good stretch of road heading that way if you are on a street bike. Lots of long hills..

LB is likely referring to the 'helmetless' citation in the headline, Socal.

Yeah i know... But 98% of the time, you will be fine without a helmet. And allot of riders die even when they have one on.

Indeed Moog, he made the decision to make the journey without the helmet.

And I'm sure his friends and family wished he had worn it.

Clunk click every trip.

Easy to say but unless you were there to witness the event, it's not a fair statement to make.

For all we know he could have been shunted off the road by some koont in a Fortuner.

Nothing is what is seems in Thailand.

Smug fucker aren't you

and you can't argue with that.

They must have reached the usual 100 deaths on Phuket roads, yet again this year

more likely a dog ran out in front of him.

Did he die of head trauma?
RIP poor fella.

Do you think he had consumed alcohol?

Easier to blame it on Thai and related thereof.

I don't understand why people who wouldn't dream of not donning a helmet in the UK, (and not simply because it is is compulsory), are blase about wearing one in Thailand.

Guys should check that their wives are not taking their kids on the back of motor bike taxis with no helmets.

Heat

Alchohol

No helmet

Loose women

Big bikes

I hope you went up to him and said 'I told you so' , pointed at his head injury and gave him a big grin.

Not many people do actually plan on crashing, but they still wear helmets and protective clothing.

Translation^ Not many people do actually plan on crashing but they still plan on crashing...(wear helemet)

On my last trip to Hanoi directly in front of me a guy collided with another motorbike and landed head first into the pavement. Sounded like a gun going off when his head smashed into that pavement.

I was walking by the way, Fuker just layed there twitching, he was well foked.

Only cock suckers make an argument for not wearing a helmet.

I have a confession to make... They didn't have full face helmets available the last time I rented a crotch rocket in phuket. So I just waited till later In the evening and went on half pissed runs from patong to kamala. Regular helmets are a fucking hazard if you go over 100kph because they flip back and joke u or they flip forward and blind u. So I had to wait till the cops where sleeping.

Stop using motorbikes and cars. Stop using mobile phones. Stop fueling the corrupt system. Stop using oil. Open your eyes.



RIP dead guy.
