M-cyclist dies after ramming into truck

KANGAR: A superbiker died in a road mishap when his motorcycle rammed into a truck on the Thai island resort of Krabi around 4.30pm yesterday.



Francis Gilbert Reutens, 57, passed away at the island's hospital, said his younger brother Eric.



Reutens, from Klang, used to be an assistant director-general at the Department of Civil Aviation.



The pensioner was part of a Malaysian and Singaporean biking expedition which took part in the annual Phuket Bike Week.



Another superbiker, identified only as Dinesh, was also involved in the mishap and escaped with leg injuries.



Dinesh said they were on their way back to Malaysia and decided to stop in Krabi when the incident occurred.



A Malaysian consulate-general spokesman based in Songkhla, when contacted, said they had yet to be informed about the incident.

I tried calling Dinesh but his phone was out of coverage.



Condolences to the family of Francis Gilbert, and as for the rest, ride home safely.

UPDATE (13:17): Dinesh SMS-ed me: I'm fine, man. Thanks. Just a twisted foot, that's all. I'll be back in a couple of days.

Stuff that I did today, in no particular order:

• tested HD's Metasploit Framework version 2.0 - where wicked stuff are made of
  
  
• downgrade apache2 to apache1 - whereby I learned that the bleeding edge is a pain in the ass
  
  
• read some VoIP stuff - whereby I realized I haven't shit good shit lately
  
  
• read some freeradius stuff - where I realized that it will not rain today
  
  
• drank some coffee - whereby I reassert my assumption that Nescafe is the best
  
  
• surf some porn - where I learned that body-mutilation is an art
  
  
• tiew some motherfuckers - stuff that I do all the time
  
  
• ate some lunch - and I thought my fart smell bad
  
  
• yawn a little bit - where I realized that sleeping is good
  
  
• read some email - ah, the opiate of the masses
  
  
• drank some vanilla-coke - which of course tasted better than pepsi twist
  
  
• ate some stuff - for the hungry programmers
  
  
• blogged this blog - and I realized that I don't blogged the truth
