I live in the area and judging by the amount of ambulances we hear every day already this morning 2 have gone flying by, people need to slow down and give way a little bit would help,

I used to drive like a jerk on the MB

 

After my last wipe out in Samui with ko helmet and sliding about 30 metres on the ground 

I really think I could have died

 

Slow and steady for me now.....

 

Although it should've have taken that spill for me to slow down

May be you should consider RE classic 350. No matter how hard you trottle, it will not go faster than 90km per hour.....slow and steady.

Guaranteed too arrogant to wear a helmet and travelling too fast. Always sad when someone needlessly loses their life but can't help thinking that ultimately what killed him was stupidity.
