Chiang Mai
Hi All,
Just wondering who's going to the meeting? We'll be in Laos at the time and just want to know if it's worth the extra visa fees. Was there last year and had a good time. John and Kelly |
Sorry, we never know for sure who is going to be there- travellers are notoriously unreliable! If you had a good time last year, I don't see why you wouldn't this year! :funmeteryes:
Wish I could be there myself :( |
Me too I should have checked sooner I am now in Sing getting a well overdue service on the beemer
:scooter: |

Simon and I may still be able to come but we wont know until the very last moment as we are both having our ohlins worked on.:thumbdown: just want to know if its OK to jsut 'turn-up'? and 'sort' things on the day? cheers hope you have a great New Years. |
We'll be there
Managed to survive the no go zone in central Laos, so we'll be there.
John & Kelly |
Looking forward to it....
We hope to be there. We're leaving Vientiane tomorrow and heading up ChiangMai way. We'll probably be there a day or so early and would love to meet up with anyone who's around. See you in the new bike traveller's bar, Rider's Corner - by the north east corner of the canal - for a beer and a chat?

Chiang Mai meet
Big thanks go out to Greg and Tom for their hard work in setting up the meeting. It's great how so many travellers managed to make it, and everyone seemed to enjoy it and go away happy (or merry).
It'd be good to see a photo or two of the line-up. Thanks again - we'll buy you a Chang when we see you. Matthew and Anita |
:-(
ah..such a shame we couldnt make it! we are still trying to get simons ohlins repaired properly! and now we need to go and extend our visas.
ah well..it wont be the last meet we'll be able to reach. :-) glad to hear that it went well. Lisa |
Thanks for the nice evening! Enjoyed a lot and met a lot of nice people!
Matthew and Anita, sorry I didn't have a chance to wish you safe travels, so all the best! :) Beedee |
Thailand HU Meeing 2012?
..... maybe I've overlooked a 'Post', (using 'dial-up'on the HUBB isn't always easy;) but I'll be in Thailand Januray 2012 and am wondering if there will be a HU Meeting in Chang Mai?
|
^^ GOOD IDEA! There are so many from us around these days there will be some meetings for sure.
cheers sascha |
Yes there will! The Meetings schedule is on the Meetings Schedule page here:

Oh this works nicely... And now I know about Rider's Corner.

Thailand Meeting January 2012
I talked with Greg Fraizer at the weekend and the Thailand Mini-Meeting will be at Riders Corner Chang Mai the weekend of Saturday 14th / Sunday 15th of January 2012 ..... Greg will talk with Phil @ Riders Corner and expect a new thread soon
Thanks .. Geoff |
hey guys
So looks like we will be in the area around those dates, cannot confirm 100%. But who else is going to be aorund?? Also is there a KTM dealer in bangkok?? India has taken its toll on my poor KTM and i have also run out of inner tubes and rear ones are very hard to find!!
|
There's always at least 30 travellers, so expect lots of people to meet and greet! Also Chiang Mai is a good place to get most easy stuff - if they don't have it someone will know where to get it. Write the Community in advance and ask! :)
