Good to know thag your safe and nothing serious happen. It’s hard to be seriously injured while traveling and your not on your home country. Keepsafe always 🙂

What did we learn in this article? Don’t ride faster than you should!!! Gladly Jasper survived with no further injuries but seriously, people should learn how to practice safety precautions!

I am not really confident in motobikes. But yeah, most importantly. stay safe in traveling so don’t forget your helmet in taking a motorbike, whether you’re the driver or rider.

That is one of the hazards of riding in South East Asia, but good to know that you are none the worse for it. You need to be extra careful and look out for other’s mistakes even though you may be 100% right all the time.

Glad to hear that both and the dog made it out relatively unharmed. It’s got to be a badass feeling bailing in a place like that and then stitching yourself up! It’s also why my wife thinks I’m an idiot whenever I talk about riding a motorbike 🙂

wow, thank goodness your backpack took most of the fall. A first aid kit is crucial in times like these, I never leave without one. Good to know you were more careful for the rest of your trip!

Wow, you are very lucky the damage wasn’t worse!

I’m not a rider myself, but I would always recommend that anybody who mounts one, do so in proper riding gear for their own well being (riding leathers and a helmet at least).

How awful about your accident! How wonderful that you were not TOO severely injured! I find it so shocking that the man made you get on your bike and keep riding, rather than offer to help you! You could have been in shock or had internal injuries! I hope you learned the lesson to slow down, as motorbiking can be dangerous even when we are travelling in familiar territory. Stay safe!
