Motorhead and gearhead travellers find Thailand target intensive

For the AViD motorhead or advanced gearhead traveler, one of the draws to the country was how millions of motorbikes could lead to some of the most interesting finds on the planet. Below are some of the “finds” travellers discovered, causing the motorbike tourist, whether walking or driving, to scratch their head and ask themselves, “I wonder how that motorbike got here or how they get away with making those modifications for street riding?” Some were for rent, some for show, some for sale and some stuffed into the back of a small motorbike workshop with an unknown status.

Thai Adventure Motorbike

Weird and rare was this "adventure" motorbike. Weird in that it did not have a sticker proclaiming the owner was seeking adventure. And rare because the motorbike is currently only sold in Thailand, a GPX. Under 250cc displacement, it's owner, a Thai motorbike mechanic, was headed off the mountain pavement roads to do some vacation camping and cooking in the forests. He said in a most pleasant manner that it was his experience that it is not the brand, accessories or marketing that make the motorbike adventure suited, it was the driver.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
