A motorcycle gang, police escort and an ambulance.....

But all in the name of a good cause: the inaugural Chiang Mai Charity Motorbike Ride. Buddy Zach, and my postie bike helmet and I, joined over 200 hardcore harley motorbikers (and other modified bikes - some very impressive machinery) for a police-escorted ride through the city, then on a 100km mountain circuit, finishing at the local reservoir for a party (& beer).

It was an exhilarating ride, but understandably with my 100CC "beep beep" bike, I was overtaken a fair bit by the 1500's.

at the start; police escort through Chiang Mai, past a moat corner (it's ok - I wasn't on my mobile at the time...)

I'm pretty proud my 100CC got to 100km/hr but!
