Hey people,

Just received phone call from good riding buddy of mine telling me about bad accident. It involves 3 Phuket based sport bike riders. One of them is member of this forum and I believe his ID is Blade or Blade1, real name Anthony. He rides 2010 red Ducati 848. The other is Khun Somnuk, owner of bike repair shop located at Thepkasattri Rd - opposite BMW Barcelona Motors showroom. Third guy is another Thai, nickname Boy. Apparently, somewhere near Lampang in Northern Thailand, some crazy woman driving Toyota Camry lost control of her vehicle and smashed into these 3 guys while they were idle at traffic light. She hit Khun Somnuk first, his bike bounced over smashing other 2 bikes while car was dragging him for 20-30 meters. According to my friend, his helmet split in half just as dam_n coconut, rest of the protective gear totally destroyed but it saved his life. He is currently in Lampang hospital and all I know is that he is still alive. The other 2 guys sustained injuires but not as bad as Somnuk. All the bikes are destroyed, local repair shop quoted them total of Baht 900,000 for repairs.

Btw, Somnuk is one of the best riders I had pleasure to ride with. He is fast, daring and incredibly skillful rider.
Anyway, I have lost Anthony's and Somnuk's phone numbers and was wondering if anyone can get in touch with them and update us on their situation.

I do believe Katabeachbum and Scubabuddha might be able to get more info on this.

This happened yesterday. He was a member of Khun Somnuk's team. He lost his life somewhere along Thepkasattri Rd while riding sport bike.
This is the second death involving high powered sport bike within last 24 hours on Phuket roads. May he rest in peace.

Paddy O' Mahony, the owner of Paddy's Inn Apartments and Rooms has died at 6am this morning in motorcycle accident. Details about accident are yet to be released.
He was a sport bike enthusiast and very nice man. Just 4 weeks ago we were sitting at my home and exchanging biker tales. Can't believe he's gone now. R.I.P.

My sincere condolences to his wife and children.

Hi TV members,

I heard there is a direct flight (or via BKK) from Phuket to Istanbul. Anyone knows what airline service this route, ticket cost etc?
Also, what is the best ticketing agent on the island to book flight to this destination?
