Lizard Motorbike CRASH in Thailand (Caught on Camera)

[@sonya2852]

So glad you’re ok, and your concern for the lizard shows your heart Kevin! Many of my former ICU patients weren’t admitted for severe trauma after an MVC, but from difficulty breathing secondary to rib injuries. Hard to breathe effectively when it’s so painful! Wise decision to rest up a few days. Take care and safe travels for the rest of your journey on Bumblebee.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks Sonya!

[@jentommyontheroad8089]

So glad you’re okay. It’s a good thing to we’re going slow to see the sights! Unbelievable how inexpensive the medical treatment was and good decision to stay a few days to recover. The ribs will be sore for awhile, but wishing you a speedy recovery!

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks! :)

[@joniutley1914]

Oh my goodness, thankful you and Bumblebee are both ok! Several videos back you said you were going to come up with new content and you sure did! Grateful for the Good Samaritans and medical attention you received! Your journey continues… feel better!

Thank you Joni!

Dewd you lay your bike down after hitting a lizard and you keep your laid back awesome attitude. Glad your ok stay safe! Can't wait for next video!

Hey Kevin. I am so glad you are ok ❤️ the accident was terrifying. I hope you are feeling much better now 🙏

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks, Im feeling much better now.

[@tarac5137]

Yikes! Even knowing it was coming and you are okay, I cringed when the accident happened. Thank goodness you did have on a helmet and long sleeves, for the kindness of strangers, and nearby medical help. I can’t even imagine how pricey that clinic and ER visit would be in the US. And the insurance headache! 😵‍💫 Hopefully the lizard fared as well as you and Bumblebee. Lessons learned. Safe travels! Oh, I thought the audio was better this video.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks Tara.

[@WanderEats]

Oh man... so so glad you are alright dude and there weren't traffic right behind you when that happened. Relax, recuperate and then have a safe ride after.

Thanks man

Thanks so much! Im ok! :)

[@realmoneystrategies]

Whoa glad you’re ok dude, a lizard of all things!! That thing was like a dragon! Makes for an awesome story though lol thankfully you were mostly unscathed & I’m sure the lizard’s all good too, seems like it ran away

Thanks, Justin. Appreciate the comment.

[@NickyDunn]

Hiya Kevin, those roads are crazy. Gosh, I bet that scared the hell out of you. So lovely people helped you. Take care. Hope you are all settled now. Have a great weekend.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thank you Nicky

[@HiddenFreedom]

GEzzz sus. That is intense. Glad you're okay. Gives me flashbacks of driving in the outback at dusk. So dangerous with 6' roos running across the road when you're doing 80mph.

Yeah, I can't even imagine hitting a kangaroo! Appreciate the comment, bro! 👍

So happy you are doing OK. You will be on my mind for a while as it takes time for those injuries to heal and to make sure there isn’t anything else wrong. Do you know how the human body is. Rest well, travel safe, see you next time.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks Jonathan.

[@JohnnyFD]

I'm glad you're okay buddy, that sucks about the crash. From the footage, it looks like the lizard blended in with the shadows of the telephone poles which why it was hard to see. Thank god you were wearing a helmet.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks man! Just got to Chiang Mai -- all is well!

[@CellasChariot]

omg glad you're ok Kev! Used to deer not lizards in the road LOL your concern for that lizard was really touching and thank you for being a decent human. Heal up fast my friend!

[@phanneebutrabamrung73]

Good to know you are OKAY. Take care and get well soon.😀

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks, Phannee!

[@LifewithSerg]

Glad you’re ok man! Consider getting a high quality full face helmet. The ones that have the retractable sun visors are all compromised because that visor has to take space in the helmet which compromises the crash worthiness of it. If you can afford ($500-600) a full face Shoei or Arai, it will be money well spent. Hope you heal up quickly man!

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah, got a full face helmet the next day.

[@HamNoytheDutchGuy]

Wow Kev, glad your ok mate🙏 take care and C Ya in the next one 🙌

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks 👍

[@SABAI15]

Just stumbled accross your channel yesterday. What an awsome adventure you are on. Very similar to Paddy Doyle's channel. I look forward to following you on your journey. I am an experianced motorcycle rider, I used to race off road bikes when I was younger. One very obvious tip, please, please, please, as a bare minimum wear at least a pair of jeans and something with long sleves and gloves. better still, get yourself some proper protective gear and a full-face helmet. I know it's hot in Thailand, but for me personaly, I'd rather sweat than have my skin ripped off in an accident. Sorry for stating the obvious, but I had to say it. Great channel from what I have seen so far. You have earned a new subscriber 🙂

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Yeah, love Paddy's channel. And you are totally right on protection!

[@Pablo-or1jo]

Glad you are okay. I had a similar accident in April in Phuket when a dog ran in front of me and caught my tire. Unfortunately i broke some bones so a much longer recovery, but glad to be wearing a helmet as you did. That's the difference for surviving these random accidents and recovering, and the main reason why there is such a high road fatality rate in Thailand. All the best for a fast recovery and hope to see you in Chiang Mai soon!

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks Pablo and same to you. Hopefully, you're recovering well.

Well, all in all you were mighty lucky, as it could've been so much worse. Good samaritans for real!! Thank goodness the clinic was so close. Glad you followed the advice and went to the hospital. Glad this wasn't a live video. Holy cow, $20 for the hospital. My copay alone for hospital admission is $125!!! Very glad you're mostly ok. Glad you're staying put for a couple of days. Rest, relax, heal. See you again soon!

Thanks, Kimber.

[@Augiebracerofam]

First glad all parties are ok. Outside mic and video angle are a good balance. All the motorbikes and it looks like you have the only yellow one in Thailand. I remember Enco/Esso/Exxon in the US mascot was a tiger. I have been splitting lanes on my Harley Davidson in LosAngeles traffic for years. So you just have to go with the flow. Yes I use a full helmet. That lizard was hard to see let alone figure out which end was its head or tail. Glad you found medical care. Thank you for sharing and have a better day.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Just got a full face! Appreciate the comment, Augie.

[@brycegalbraith6375]

People around immediately made sure the driver did not move until the ambulance arrived. I am glad you are OK. Please keep monitoring your body. Poor lizard 😓

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks Elvi.

[@peggyd3643]

That was scary! Yesterday, I thought of you and your channel wondering if you had any new stuff out and then here is this. Wow! Glad you weren’t going at those highway speeds when the lizard decided it was time for you to stop for the day. That is crazy the way all those motorcyclists drive between the lanes of traffic. I wouldn’t want to do that. Heal up and I am so glad you weren’t injured more severely. That was very interesting to hear how cheap it was to go to the clinic and hospital. Also, so glad you had the kind people who stopped to help. You show what type of person you are by your concern for the animal you hit. Even riding my electric bike, I have been worried that deer might jump out in front of me since I ride a lot on roads through the national forest near where I live. Heal up quickly and I look forward to your next adventure.

Thanks Peggy! 👍

Glad you are ok. Driven big bikes alot and you should be careful when crashing. Have done the same thing but with a dog. It is scary. The adrenaline makes you think you are ok. Then after 30 min you start hurting everywhere. So you should always sit down and try to relax for a while and then think about next step but this time lucky you are ok. Have a safe trip from now on 🙏

Good advice for sure.

That mechanism of injury can cause some significant problems even at low speed.

Goodness. These rides are hard on my heart. Thank goodness you’re okay.

[@30AndAWakeUp]

Thanks! Appreciate the comment.

They say bruising is sometimes worse than a break. Hope you start feeling better.

Yeah, it's been hard to sleep but I'm thankful it wasn't worse.
