GT Rider will be a headline sponsor @ 25,000 baht for the Chiang Mai ToyRide. If anyone wants to help defray the costs you are welcome to assist. Franz has already chipped in 5,000 baht.

For some of you wealthier GT Riders with companies, who feel the 25,000 baht is too high, there is a 2nd tier sponsorship level of 5,000 baht (US$150). This qualifies you as a major sponsor. As a major sponsor you are entitled to

• An advertising box and link on the homepage of the website
• A prominent listing on the website’s sponsors page
• A position on the back of the event T- shirt
• A logo on the event banner
• A discount on a booth at the event party

Now 5,000 baht is not a lot of money. Some of you would easily spend this in a night out on the town, so how about diverting a small amount of funds to supporting the Chiang Mai ToyRide & putting smiles of faces of children in need? It’s a very worthy cause & you will be helping promote a positive image of motorcycling in the Kingdom.

Any contributions / support you can provide is welcome.

Khru Khun Jai, receiving school supplies from Richy & Scott


Blankets were given out to each household in the village & every rider got to participate in the give away.



There were smiling faces all round






Just a blanket, but very contented


and some extremely happy

no matter how old & with a stuffed toy!

Even the back-up staff joined in




But it's the toy give away that wins the kids over, especially when you can make your own selection; and littlest ones first!


What a contented feeling




Does this doll really look like me?


Something for everyone



I got the best one


Arh yes, victory


Mine's pretty good too, & makes me happy



Overall, everyone's happy










Time to go home


Back towards Chiang Dao


And there she is, Doi Chang Dao


Twas a great day. Thank you all those who came, & helped put smiles on the faces of those in need.

Also to "Max", a guy who just walked up to me and donated 5,000baht! I invited him to join the GT-Rider board and hopefully we will soon know his full name and he will join us on some of our rides.

Thanks to all!
