The police would have a field day if they rode like that here :-)
There was a police officer just a few meters away. His orders were to operate the traffic lights. Later in the day he might join a gang of a dozen or so, with orders to set up a checkpoint and ticket riders not wearing a helmet, or not carrying a licence. For a month or so they also ticketed pillions without a helmet, but that was a year or two back.

I was on holiday in Phuket in 2007 - saw some of the antics !
Last time pops and my brother were in Bangkok, my brother turned the wrong way down a street, and despite pops yelling at him they were going the wrong way, my brother said it'll be ok, we'll just turn up here.
Nope. Police. Ticket. Was only a couple hundred baht, but still... I don't like to get anywhere near LEO's radar when I travel abroad.

"This old engine has a nickels-and-dimes sound to it. As if there were a lot of loose change flying around inside. Sounds awful, but it's just normal valve clatter. Once you get used to that sound and learn to expect it, you automatically hear any difference. If you don't hear any, that's good." -- Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance
Another thread where Michael tries to shove his philosophy down our throats. Awesome....
But I guess they're all riding bicycles so there's no danger anyways.

Travel the world sometime. It's interesting to absorb foreign cultures... (which are not the same as philosophies, per se)
