Bike Hire In Chiang Mai...for Laos?

[plushly]

This is probably a tall order, but does anyone know of a bike rental mob based in Chiang Mai that will allow any of their bikes to be taken over the border into Laos? (Obviously involving to permission letter etc.)

Don't know of any off hand, but I'd try Mr Mechanic as they're associated with the Golden Triangle Riders and have been doing bike tours to Laos for years.

The easiest way is to travel to Laos by other means of transport and rent a big bike in Vientian there is a big bike rental shop near the Scandinavian bakery...

We rented two motorcycles, they where a bit classic, something we love to ride in the countryside of Laos...

But they also have Harley's... if you into that... I forget the prices, but believe me... it was very reasonable ... (Officially we asked to rent one bike, but the price was so low that we went for two...)

This is probably a tall order, but does anyone know of a bike rental mob based in Chiang Mai that will allow any of their bikes to be taken over the border into Laos? (Obviously involving to permission letter etc.)
