Riding in Vietnam! On and Off road. Yamaha, Honda & Suzuki were used! #fun #offroading #vietnam

Nine friends from different parts of the world get together for a week of riding in Vietnam! Riding to a new village or town every night. The entire ride you will find roadsides full of stalls selling food and markets so please be careful at all times. Do expect average to poor roads the majority of the time, along with heavy vehicular traffic throughout. Vietnam has built good highways but only cars and trucks are allowed on most of them. Most of the new roads have toll so most vehicles still use the rougher and narrow roads that most motor bikers also tend to use. Traffic is chaotic most of the time, but drivers in Vietnam are politer and more aware than other South East Asian countries. Most trucks will honk to warn you, so pay attention to your fellow motorists. Riding in Hanoi may seem intimidating, but traffic speed is so low it is generally safe. The trick is to look directly where you are going so motorists know where you are headed. If you need to cross oncoming traffic, do so slowly and steadily. Be aware of the weather. Rain can and will come at any time. In a downpour a good road can rapidly become slippery and dangerous, so please consider this and your visibility when deciding to travel in bad weather.
