I gleaned the following bits and pieces that concern motorcycle tours and vacations from the net.

Golden triangle rider that deals with motorcycle tours and vacations in Thailand and Laos,this website has information that pertains to the maps of the best routes to use, accommodation,legal issues concerned with border crossings,insurance,it has a weather widget which gives you real time weather conditions and a currency converter plus a host of other issues you need to know before you embark on a tour of these countries.

Next we have Asian bike tour dot com founded by Reed Resnikoff and this is what he has to say,"I am the founder of Asian Motorcycle Adventures.
Over the past decade and a half I've been riding motorcycles around this rapidly changing continent
and writing about my journeys for motorcycle magazines and newspapers around the world.". Basically these tours deal with tours across the whole of South East Asia, from Southern China to Borneo. The tour spans 7000 kilometers of that part of the world. The tours are listed by destination and dates he is based in Chiang Mai in Thailand and he covers most issues related to each place and everything can be done online quite comprehensively.

Then there is bike mongolia dot com, these tour traverses the Gobi desert into inner mongolia and purportedly covers over 1500 kms. The site has a ten day , day by day itinerary a somewhat rigid schedule from Ulanbataar to departure on day ten back to your home ,the cost is 2895 euro's with the motorbike and fuel costs included in the price.

There are group tours from july all the way to September but there is the option of creating custom, tailor made tours. The tailor made or independent tours consist of groups of upto four people with the cost being euros 1095 international flights excluded.
The terrain covered includes;
1.The Valley of Genghis Khan Trail
2.Gobi desert to lake Khovsgol route.
3.Khovsgol Lake and Mountain Trail.
They have three physical booking addresses in Mongolia, Germany and the United Kingdom though you can book fully online.

Next we have Motorbike Thailand this is what they have to say about themselves ,"Motorbike Thailand are based within the county and offer specialist motorcycle tours within Thailand and from Thailand to Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos
Our tours are unique due to the fact we offer different tours every season rather than choosing one route and riding it again and again. As much as we can we try to incorporate different countries to add a little more variation and new cultures to explore within south East Asia". They have tours starting as early as February 9th to March through the golden Triangle and the North West loop. They have both Individual and group tours and theirs is a welldone Web 2.0 website brimming with tons of information. They also cover Cambodia,Vietnam and Laos.

Last but not least we have real adventures dot com that details biking adventures from India through Pakistan to Mongolia,Cambodia and Thailand. With night bookings begining from $3 in Pakistan to $1000 in Mongolia.

The best countries seem to be the countries of the Golden triangle in South East Asia due to their variegated terrain. From the dense tropical jungles of Cambodia and Laos through the Mekong delta , up the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains of Northern Thailand and past the Gobi desert of Mongolia in China. At Asian Bike Tour for the 2009 Season that began in January the golden triangle high season ticket goes for $ 2795 from the seventh to the sixteenth and from the twenty first to the thirtieth of January the rest of the dates can be seen on the last link below.

That is very wild topography that should serve as the Motorcycle enthusiasts Nirvana. I hope my labor was sufficient enjoy a wonderful motorcycling Adventure/Safari in Asia.
