A passion

“From the time of my arrival at the Hotel in Chiang Mai each hour was filled with new and exciting experiences. Firstly there was a meeting with the rest of the team for the briefing of our 12 stage tour around the Northern perimeter of the country and a couple of days to enjoy the city of Chiang Mai. After the allocation of a Royal Enfield 500cc Bullet to each rider the main adventure began with all concerns for organisation handled dispelled by Vintage Rides. We stayed in some very comfortable hotels and sometimes Resort Hotels, most of them with swimming pools and were introduced to the delights of different authentic Asian meals at local and good quality eating houses. Often we were meeting new Thai people and were welcomed by their genial manner, always smiling. At times we traveled well off the beaten track and were thereby rewarded handsomely with magnificent views and often a chance to meet the real people of Thailand. Our Vintage tour leader and local Thai guide arranged many interesting visits including a short excursion to Laos and a trip to the Opium Museum, in itself thought provoking. The motorcycles were well maintained with the mechanic seen at the end of each days ride checking the machines over, adjusting as may be necessary and finally wiping them over to be presented to us in good order for the new day. The route was mostly on roads with reasonable surfaces and included quite a bit in the mountains with steep ascents, descents and countless hairpin bends. Not fast but at times very exciting rides at a pace allowing enjoyment of the countryside we were passing through. On completion of nearly 1200 miles and with very few untoward events it is fair to say that Vintage Rides have got it right. Always a professional approach and building a team including guides, mechanic and back up driver that supported us throughout the tour. In advance of the tour the Vintage sales and liaison team kept me informed at every stage and have been a pleasure to work with. Nobody does it better than Vintage Rides!”

“Au top ! Du debut a la fin !”

“Nickel! Une organisation au top.”

“This was my 1st guided group tour and it exceeded my expectations on every level.From the meet and greet at the airport to the conclusion of the tour there would seem very few if any areas for improvement. Being the only British and therefor non French speaker on the trip was never an issue and I felt included in all activities and conversations. Josh,our American guide, who was fluent in French and English, put everyones riding skills to the test at times and was very encouraging and helpful when necessary as well as being good company. The support team, especially Atol, the mechanic were 1st class and more than capable of achieving success acompanied with a smile. I am certain all participants on this adventure improved their riding skills greatly in situations, places and conditions they had never encountered befor. I hope to meet and ride with some of my French friends in the future. My thanks to everyone involved at Vintage Rides Ride On Barry”

“We had an incredible adventure in Mongolia with Vintage Rides. The tour guides and mechanics were always ready to help and they were so much fun to be with. They were very professional and everything was well organised. This was our second trip with them and we would recommend Vintage Rides for your next adventure.”

“Simply great!”
