Hello to all at GT-Riders!
I have followed this great sit for some time, and it is truly inspiring!
I love the great photos and commentary from David, Jurgen and all the other members.
I'm just back from my first trip for some time to Chiang Mai, which I consider my old 'home from home'.
I have been going there since 1987 and have seen big changes. I still love it though, and have many friends there. That trip back then got me back into biking after a long absence. I now ride a Kawasaki ER-6F based out of London.
I was so pleased that I finally got to ride the infamous Route 1148 to Nan on my recent trip. I've know about it since the 90's, and it was no disappointment!
I really look forward to joining in on here.
Many thanks for having me.
Ash

Gday & welcome to GTR & thanks for the pat on the back.

I'm glad GTR has inspired to ride again, plus tour North Thailand.

Nan is arguably the best province for riding in the country - rolling hills, with swooping flowing roads; although R1148 is a bit of a tight one. I reckon that R1091 from Chiang Muan into Nan is the best way to ride into Nan if you are going that way again; but everyone will have a different opinion.
