Experienced motorcycle rider but yet to get dirty? Well, here's the perfect opportunity to experience Thailand's Jungles and off road riding and you wont be risking getting your own bike covered in mud.
This tour is designed for experienced riders meaning you must already be competant on a motorcycle on road but looking to learn the 'art' of off road biking!
Day 1: Meet and Greet and safety breifing
Before we set out we will run through the necessary safety precautiions for riding in Thailand and a few theory riding techniques and most importantely the 'Golden Rules' for trail riding in the jungle. This is usually an informal breifing and lasts for about 1 hour. Once kitted up with some safety gear and a Dual terrain Kawasaki KLX 250 we head out onto some tarmac to get used to the bike. During the road riding we will try to put into effect the few subtle changes in cornering techniques for off road riding and we have found for beginners the best way to try this is on road and on some pretty severe hairpin bends. Tonight we stay at the base of the mountains just a few kilometers from some great little off road trails to get you into the swing of things.
Day 2: Lets off Road!
After an early breakfast we fuel up and make our way into the Jungles up to 1700 mters above sea level. Most of the trail riding today is classed as very easy but enough tricky sections to keep you on your toes. Today you will learn the folliowing...
Correct seating positions!Standing up on the pegs! Cornering techniques!Reading the lines and avoiding dangers!Correct usage of the clutch and throttle!Ascents and Descents!Off cambers and using the cambers to your advantage!Braking!Dismounting on up and down hill!
Did you know that some of the top MotoGP riders in the world of racing including Rossi were experienced in Off Road before they raced the tarmac? Well to prove that off road riding will actually improve your on road skills we finish the day up with some hair-raising tight twisties and we guarantee you will see an imporvement in your on road skills even only after a few hours off road.
Day 3: Picking up the pace a little
Another early start and we make our way to a few tougher sections of tighter trails rivers and some steeper ascents and even steepr descents diectly on the Burmese border. Today we will keep to the techniques you learned yesterday but riding the more difficult trails we will fine tune your riding to make you feel more comfortable on various terrains...
Left and right hand tight up hill cornering on single track!Steep downhill cornering on single trackCrossing rivers!Jumping!Mostly off road today but intertwined with some tarmac and some unclassified roads.
Day 4: Putting it into practice
Very early start today not just because our journey today is a relatively long one but and early start means we get to the mountain tops to for some fantastic views only possible to get to by foot or off road motorcycle. By now you should be confident enough to take on almost all the terrain Northern thailand can throw at you so we head back into the jungle for an awesome ride back into Chiang mai city covering almost 160 kilometers off road visiting hill tribe villages along route and showing you why Thailand is one of the top destinations for Biking in the world! It is not uncommon for us to get a little carried away on this route by trying out some uncharterd trails so don't be surprised if we dont roll into Chiang mai city until late evening in time for maybe a Thai massage to ease away any aches and pains and definately a few beers in the city.
