Watch out when wearing a backpack with solid objects in it. When you fall on your back this can actually break your spine.
@Oelala879Күн бұрын
Probably best not to put the toolroll in, but what other solid items would you be carrying on a trip?
@raduandreiovidiuКүн бұрын
Boots were a big realisation for me when I took one of your offroad lessons and the bike fell on my foot at a weird angle. I thought for sure that fall would have crushed my foot but it didn't due to the boot being stiff so good job in picking quality gear. For sun protection Decathlon sells some good & cheap UV protection long sleeve shirts meant for the beach and they are very breathable. The weight lifting gloves they have also worked well for me as motorcycle gloves, padded and grippy.

You will get a really nasty gear change and you will hear it. But ultimately, the bike will be fine.

I rode 450km from Phong Nha to Ninh Binh in one day last summer (on a bike from Tigit), since there was nothing along the way that felt worth stopping for. Took me 9 hours, of which 8 were spent riding. 4 hour ride, one hour break, another 4 hours. Wouldn't necessarily recommend, especially for inexperienced riders, but it's doable. With the amount of homestays, it's easy to just ride until you don't want to anymore, whether that's after 3 hours or 8, and it's also a much nicer way of traveling in my opinion

Ah classic Vietnam. Have to do everything in a very specific location. My wife just had to go back to her hometown just to renew her passport. It's ridiculous. Same for a wedding licence. Same if she wants to sponsor my visa. It's like the whole system was created by people who've never left a single small town their whole life (which to be fair, it probably was).

We had to buy a house in Ho Chi Minh just to get around all the travel my wife had to do to her hometown for paperwork. She even managed to mess it up at some point-I am not sure the exact details-but she basically de-registered herself from her hometown and couldn't re-register herself in Saigon, meaning she temporarily belonged to no province. No province then meant she didn't exist-she became a ghost from the Vietnam paperwork perspective. Took a very long time to fix!

The info in them is concise, clear and priceless, and the surety you put into the commentary is so reassuring and confidence building. Compared to other vlogs which are very wishy washy with plenty commentary but saying nowt! (Say in a Geordie accent...) We"ve not been yet, looking at next year April time. Not looking at a bike tour, but you never know, our paths might cross for a bike here and there... Cheers, Derek.

I don't really know anything about scooters. To me they are just a set of wheels to get from A to B. Nothing interesting in this market. However, I have driven a few modern Vespas and the build quality and ride felt cheap to me. Which is the opposite of what a luxury brand should feel like. Personally, I think it is just marketing, like Apple, or Gucci, Prada or any other handbag-based/image-based brand :) You are asking the wrong guy, though!
