Then it happened, after thousand of km on Laos roads over 15 years
Crossed over from bkk to vt, couple of days in vte before heading south to champasak were I reside.
the usual Thakek loop wich I always find nice and keep you sane, as the 13 is the most boring road in laos.
One night in Thakek, catch up with friends
Savanakhet for the same reason,.
South of savanakhet 20 km down from Paksong songkon I decided to overtake a scooter with two teen girls on it they behaved a bit confusing and no indicatiors flashing just when I was about to pass the scooter it took a sharp turn left and straight in to my right pannier and lifted the whole rear of the bike up in the air, my passenger flew off and landed 6 metres from the first contact point.
I tried to get control over the bike but ended in the ditch,and finally front wheel hit a drainage pipe me landed two metres from the bike but was quick to get up as the speed was under 50 I was not to fucked up I thought.
I ran back and checked the pillon and controled that kegs could move and that she was conchious.,she was in great pain but not dead.
A private van took us back towards savanakhet to paksong where there is a very small hospital.
I walked in to the hospital on my legs pillon on a stretcher.
I discussed with the staff at the hospital after we got the x ray and decided to get a ambulance to pakse wich is 170 km from Paksong songkon.
1.5 m kip later we here in our way to pakse, I could not walk out from that hospital
Neither in to pakse hospital.,
Pillon was comited to hospital but it was full so I decided to get ambulance to take me home to the family, I made sure I had a guard by my bed all night in case of inner bleeding.
3 days later I was back on my knees pissing in a toilet
Parents of the two girls was constantly on the phone eager to settle this matter,
Politely we refused to talk about it until we both were back on our feet walking.
3 weeks went by and the import permit on the bike was about to expire and we had to go back to crash site.
1000 bth penalty is not something i wanted, nice chat with police.
Parents of the kids came to negotiate they offered 300 us
We laught and Said lawsuit and court, they ended up paying 1000'us,.
Off we went with bus to savanakhet and meet an old French friend jerome, he knew a guy that took the wreck of my hands for 700 $,
Custom wanted pictures of wreck and I had a police report that the bike was fucked.
They said keep pictures and police report, u should not have any problems later taking a new bike over custom and immigration Dont talk together she said
Thai side she said wouldn't be a problem either with letter from the police
Now back in Pakse looking for a vfr 1200 lol
The dent in the petrol tank is my left testicle
End of story, the two girls did not suffer any major damage, they where both 13 yo and no license ofcource and motorcycle no insurance or reg.
My Laos insurance will pay the med bills and ambulance fee.
If this had happened in Thailand I think it's a risk that I would be hold responsible for the whole thing
If Ive been in a Bentley Rols Royse or lexus the kids wouldn't be alive today
