In the states I had a big bike and rode it all the time as I love motorcycles. I never had an accident. Here in Phuket I've had two and both were not my fault.
One night I go home with a friend that Geir knows and Nicke thinks she a cutie as well. She falls asleep after some athletic actvity
it's 2:00am and she's been drinking black death and is shit faced but I'm not tired. My friend calls and I meet him at Safari disco, we party, around 6:00am I head back home and a car pulls out in front of me on Nanai Rd I swerve but have to lay it down and the bike and myself slide for quite a ways. My shirt is all torn on the back and my back is bleeding from scratches my knee and ankle are killing me and people come out and help me up ask me if i"m ok and the driver just takes off.
I'm a little stunned but can drive the bike back ok and it's only a little scratch on the exaust. I shower get back in bed with her. Around 11:00am she wakes up and screams as she sees me the sheets are all bloody from my back and she asks what happended. I told her "Don't you remember you did this to me last night"
she gets this blank expression on her face like she's trying to remember but then I tell her the truth. She's a little miffed that I went back out but I told her she fell asleep on me and it was still early. So she takes me to the hospital they clean the wounds and my hand still is a little sore as I write this. The other accident my nieghbor swerved over when we were passing each other and she grazed me and the same hand needed 4 stitches.
I've also ran over a cat that I previously posted about and I'm still sad about that.
But I drive everyday here and I believe if you go slow, take your time, don't drive drunk you are ok. I also don't have a International License I have been pulled over three times and everytime I show them my California Dl and they usually smile and say "California"
and I go. But soon I want a Thai DL just because I think it would be cool to have one.
