Boy racers

Looks like a good effort     "Police arrested more than 5,600 street racers and seized over 17,700 bikes in 11 days after the night curfew was lifted. . . Assistant national police chief Pol Lt Gen Damrongsak Kittiprapas said on Thursday that Bangkok police and the Provincial Police Region 1 which covered the lower central plains arrested 109 such racers, seized 11,743 motorcycles and prosecuted 3,088 shops for illegally modifying motorcycle parts. . . . Police in the northeastern province of Nakhon Ratchasima arrested 476 motorcyclists and seized 665 bikes and 204 substandard exhaust pipes[/b]."

Now get in those cars and grab the 'black smoke' monsters ?

"Owners of powerful motorcycles of 400cc or more would need to pass special training and specific tests to ensure drivers can control their vehicle. The department said many fatal accidents involved powerful motorcycles."

50 years experience riding big bikes, yep, I reckon I need more training.
13 year olds riding without helmets - mai pen lai.
