    Out of interest, how much did you buy and sell for. I bought my win for €325 and sold for €315.

    Do you reckon you could fly into ho chi min , buy a bike for 200 quid and then drive up to Hanoi and then fly back to Ireland, in 2 weeks, in October? What about insurance etc?

    You could but 2 weeks is really pushing it. Not sure you'd be able to enjoy it really. We had about 8 days of riding spread over two and a half weeks. There's a few places you'll really want an extra few days to see. We loved the off road biking and cave exploring in Phong nha for example. If you could swing an extra week you'd be good to go.

    No insurance. Your license is not valid here so its illegal and at your own risk.

    Apologies for the delay in getting pictures up. Decided to spend a couple of weeks in Laos before making the awful decision to come home!

    Here she is in Ho Chi Minh, I honestly never expected this bike to make it!

    Picked up a few people on the way and we headed for the sea!

    Left Mui Ne the following day bound for DaLat. The road up had everything. From the lakes at the bottom:

    Dalat is cold. I had to buy a jumper. Closest I got to PPE on my trip.

    The roads got 'interesting' for a bit. I was following a local around the potholes til he went into one and literally disappeared out of sight. We managed to fish him and his bike out!

    The roads improved! The mountain pass from Pleiku to Hoi An is probably the best road I've ever ridden.

    After about a week in Hoi An we were ready for 'The Top Gear road'. Some beautiful stretches but a slight let down after the road from the last day!

    Our last day biking. We decided to get up really early, catch sunrise and get in to Hanoi before it got crazy hot in the afternoon. The result was empty roads and some of the best photographs we got in our entire trips.
