BUT the basic rules of polite and civil conduct which everyone agreed to when signing up for the HUBB, will still apply, though moderation will be a LITTLE looser than elsewhere on the HUBB.

Golden Triangle Riders Motorbike Souvenir T-Shirts – Finally

At long last, with all the motorbike riding in the Golden Triangle area of north Thailand, souvenir “motorbike specific” T-shirts hit the market. From Meo Designs, these motorbike T-shirts show that the rider has managed the famed 1864 Mae Hong Son Curves, The Golden Triangle and even bagged the famous “Nan Road 1148.”

For years travellers have been seeking motorbike specific T-shirts from these areas, only to go away with less satisfying souvenir T-shirts from promoting towns, areas, motorbike clubs, meetings or groups, nothing specific to motorbike travel in geographic areas.

Passing through Chiang Mai recently while researching an Asian motorbike documentary for a foreign production company I stopped at the Rider’s Corner Bar and Restaurant for a meeting with a large group of Malaysian motorbike travellers and noticed the complete line of T-shirts for sale displayed on a wall. The Rider’s Corner Bar and Restaurant has become a “Motorbike Mecca” for travellers in Asia, so it made sense the restaurant would carry the new line of Golden Triangle Rider T-shirts as well as the best and newest GPS and paper maps of North Thailand, Nan, Cambodia and Laos.

The T-shirts can be ordered off the web at www.gt-rider.net and maps off the Rider’s Corner site at www.riderscorner.net Better yet, stop in, enjoy a meal and the motorbike environment. Tell them you saw this on the HUBB. The Rider’s Corner also serves as the Thailand Horizons Unlimited Mini-Meeting point in January, 2013. To see what fun was had at the 2012 meeting, a report is here www.horizonsunlimited.com/meetings/Thailand2012

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.
