Teak Door features an outstanding story with excellent photos of a recent Harley tour around northern Thailand, starting from Chiang Mai and then looping around the region. A must read for motorcycle lovers and anyone who wants to see what's out there on the road.

From Mid Feb though last Sunday (may 24) I've spent fourteen days (or so) on the road in Northern Thailand on a few different Harley Davidsons. Although we only covered about 2500 miles (4000 kilometers) we spent most of that time on twisted mountain roads, Steep switch back descents and narrow village back roads. I have over 3300 photographs from these rides to go through and I've gone through them twice for different reasons. Don't worry, I'll not post them all..
All our rides started off at Richy's shop, RichCo Motorsports at about 9:00 AM. Anyone that knows me will tell you this is not anywhere near my normal wakgn hours. I do make exceptions for special occasions. I usually get there early for the coffee and rolls. Richy has started up a Harley Davidson Rentals business and provides tours on Harley Davidsons in Thailand with late model Fatboys and Dyna Glides. I was elected as photographer and scribe. I also got to test out the fleet and find a ride I wouldn't mind owning as soon as I can get the house done.
Our first ride started out with four riders one passenger and a chase truck. Four Americans, one Canadian and an Ozzie. The route was From Chiang Mai up 107 to Chiang Dao, this is short run perfect for getting in sync with folks you've never rode with. We end up at the cave there, I've been a few times and Cave bore me. The ladies selling herbs are fun to banter with while others go into the caves
