Hi Guys.
I've been riding a big bike in the UK for the last two years, mainly year round commuting and a few local tours. I've racked up about 10,000 miles each year. It's now time to branch out a little and I'm heading to Chiang Mai at the end of this month to try foreign roads for the first time. Unfortunately, I've only got three or four days to explore the very best roads before the other half drags me to the beaches further south. If the pictures and the reviews on here are anything to go by, I'm counting this trip as research for future visits. Please don't tell the oh!
I've had a quick scout through the rental pages and I'm sure there's a ready supply of the type of bike I'm after for a two up steady tour. My question relates to the practice of passports as deposit? I understand this is fairly widespread, I'd personally keep my passport and pay a deposit on the bike instead. Has anybody got any advice or experience in terms of best practice for this?
Thanks for letting me on and ride safe
