A very big thank you to everyone who came. Everyone behaved respectfully & honourably.
This was indeed a very special unique occasion.
I trust you all enjoyed it as much as I did organizing it & finally seeing a dream come true.
Thank you to George in MHS, Ian Bungy & Tim / Vero & Con (backup) for assisting with the event & organisation.
Thanks Phil for photographing the event in MHS.
See you all again next year for the 9th annual GTR Mae Hong Son Loop Memorial ride - lets keep it going, bigger & better.

George in MHS has informed me today that TV film clip has been edited & is on the way.
If anyone wants add photos please do - you are welcome.

Just a note for outstanding donors who said "count me in".
Ian Bungy & I are still considerably out of pocket & for the few guys who said "count me in" it would be nice if you could still chip in to help out.
If you are in Chiang Mai or need bank account details please contact Bungy.
Thanks in advance.
