Thai couple walk away from highway bike spill unscathed

A lucky Thai couple have walked away from what could have been a very nasty road accident after they came off their motorcycle on a rain-slicked highway and slid for what looks to be at least 30 metres along the bitumen.

GoPro vision of the incident, which occurred yesterday, shows the pair riding along a mercifully quiet – but very wet – major road near Amphoe Sikhiu, central Thailand, in spitting rain.

The rider is believed to be a young man named Armkung Nagoya, whose pronounced love of superbikes was not, in this case, matched by his talent for riding them.

Armkung tries to make a correction but, his minute error cruelly magnified by the foul weather, loses control.

He and his girlfriend, Munthita Daungkhamdee, both come a cropper and begin sliding at speed down the road, the bike in tow.

Eventually the pair come to a halt, with Armkung gallantly attending to his missus before checking on his bike, which looks to have sustained more damage than the fortunate couple.
