Thai touring retro style

ESTABLISHED IN 2002 and based in Chiang Mai, TBBTours is run by two British bike enthusiasts, Jeff Pike and Duncan Green and specialises in guided motorcycle tours within Thailand, Laos and Myanmar. Both Jeff and Duncan have a strong pedigree in classic bike ownership, with many previously owned Brit classics between them with Jeff starting on a 1962 Speed Twin and Duncan on a 1959 Crusader 250 Sports. To cater for the increasing demand for tours on older bikes, the guys have come up with an alternative solution – “Retro” guided tours. They’ve invested in a fleet consisting of modern Royal Enfield Classic 500s, two Hinckley Triumph Bonneville T100s and a 2016 Honda CB1100EX. Chiang Mai is the gateway to some of the most spectacular, challenging and enjoyable riding on the planet. To this end, TBBTours have put together a couple of tours using their retro classic fleet. They offer a 4-day Golden Triangle tour where the borders of Thailand, Laos and Myanmar converge, or the 5 day Mae Hong Son loop, which has rightly been acclaimed as one of the top ten riding routes in the world. “Our tours are full of customers from all over the globe but Aussies make up a huge percentage of our customers,” says Duncan. “We’ve just got back with a group of Australians and next up we will have a large group of Kiwis.” If this has whetted your appetite, more information and contact details can be found at www.tbbtours.com
