Guides
Duncan Green
Originally hailed from Somerset in the UK, Duncan has been living in Thailand for many years, primarily to ride motorcycles on the brilliant roads throughout the country. Duncan moved to Chiang Mai in 2010 where he met Jeff via the shop. The two became firm friends and riding buddies. He subsequently joined Jeff in 2013 to replace Tony. He is a very proficient rider both on and off the road and his stable currently includes a Triumph Tiger 1050, Honda CB1100EX, Suzuki GSX1400, and tweaked Honda CRF250.
Jeff Pike
Jeff is a passionate biker. He is originally from Poole, Dorset, in England and has been legally riding since 1979. He visited Southeast Asia in 2001 for an off-road motorcycle tour to Laos based out of Chiang Mai. He fell in love with the place and after many subsequent visits, he also fell in love with a local girl and relocated here in 2005. Jeff's pride and joy are his beautifully tuned and lightly customized Triumph Bonneville. He also owns a Royal Enfield Classic 500 back in England, which gets ridden once a year.
