I defy anyone to come up with a better headline than that. According to Andrew Marshall, he was naked at the time and was taking part in a World Naked Bike Riding Day event. This part of the story isn't confirmed in the Bild article below, but June 10 is World Naked Bike Riding Day and as the Bild article hints, he has form in this area.

KIDS SHOOT THAI KING
He is the head of state of 68 million people. They are two boys — and recently they all met in the Erdinger district of Bergham, Bavaria. But how?
On the 10th of June, Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn (64) was cycling along along the Am Lindenhain road with his entourage. After the death of his father Bhumibol, he has been King Rama X since December 1. One of the richest monarchs in the world.
At about 10.30 pm, Rama X cycled along a path beside a bush. Behind it: two boys (13, 14). With air pistols. They fired.
The plastic bullets hit the cyclists in the dark. According to BILD information, Rama X was hit on the back. His personal guards called the police.
Police quickly found the hiding shooters. A spokesman for the police bureau Oberbayern Nord said: "We found the bullets and can confirm they were from a toy air gun."
The case now lies with the prosecutor's office in Landshut. The 14-year-old faces charges of attempted dangerous bodily harm. The 13-year-old is too young to face criminal liability. The king himself declined to press charges.
The key question is: What was Rama X doing in Erding? On his bicycle, in the middle of the night? The king has two villas on Lake Starnberg, 60 km from Bergham.
What's certain is: Rama likes cycling. In April he cycled through Unterammergau in his underpants.

Note to self: Never buy a used bicycle seat in Germany.
