It is with deep regret and sadness that I bring the news of the death of Chumpon (Chum), the General Manager, Head Salesman, Riding and Track Day Instructor and all-round good guy.
Chum, who was only 33, was killed riding home from work on Friday night at about 10pm. His Streetfighter hit a stationary truck that was parked over the rise of a bridge. The truck had stopped to repair streetlights and had warning lights and signs placed too close to the truck which couldn't be seen by vehicles approaching on the incline to the bridge.
I bough both my Ducati's (S2R 1000 and 848) from him and we had last ridden together on a one-day 700klm ride from Bangkok to Phuket for the 2010 bike week in April.
RIP, mate!
