RIDING VIETNAM'S SCENIC COAST Vietnam Motorbike Tours
The top Gear tour day one - with Vietnam Motorbike Tours and Toby Price! Over 10 days we plan to clock up around 2000km exploring Vietnam's beautiful coastline before heading inland to wind our way through countless mountain passes and explore areas way way off the beaten track. Stunning views, rich culture, great food and some of the best road riding in the world. It's time to see the real Vietnam! For better or worse, the French colonised Vietnam for over sixty years and it certainly makes a difference with our accommodation. Not so much with the coffee. Vietnam is kinda long and skinny so we'll be riding along the coast for the first few days. And it has some spectactular scenery. Some riders come a few days early to explore the beaches and rugged parts of the coast. Even the sandy beaches are good by Aussie standards. We head north to eventually finish in Hanoi, and again some riders add a few days on to explore the incredible rock formations and 1600 limestone islands of Halong Bay. Well worth checking out if you can spare a few more days at the end.. so said Toby Price. Anyway back to the bikes. Our trusty steeds comply with the road rules about engine size, but I discovered the hidden switches for extra performance. A quick word about flights, you can usually fly here direct from Sydney or Melbourne but I had to fly via Singapore and discovered the different airfare grades in Asia. So why is this called the Top Gear tour? Back in 2008 the Top Gear guys did a 75 minute special about Vietnam, and they featured bits like this, the Hai Van pass. And yes the views are great, the twisty road is fun but they just touched on the tourist stuff that close to the cities. It's nothing compared to what we'll be riding when we see THE REAL VIETNAM. In remote areas near the Laos border we'll be riding the Ho Chi Minh trail and riding through villages where often the residents have never seen a Westerner. Vietnam has come along way since I was here 25 years ago. The main highway was just a narrow crappy road in shocking condition. Now they've even got tunnels. Helmets on. Time to get back on the bikes! For anyone interested in Toby's riding, he's got quite a few vids on his Youtube channel and he's currently putting out a vlog series on his latest win at Dakar.

Riding Vietnam From Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh Advice (Route, Bike, FAQ)
Just a helpful video for those interesting in riding down (or up) Vietnam from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).
Check out my Twitter for more videos & pictures:
Riding from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi
This video is a compilation of the footage I was able to get during our ride from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi in northern Vietnam. It is really hard to explain the beauty of this country. It is something that you have to see in person.
The total trip was 25 days and we wasted no time getting a bike once we landed in Ho Chi Minh for the trip. Jess has never been on the back of a bike before and after a few rides with a loaned scooter she was feeling semi-comfortable around the hectic traffic. We switched the scooter out for a Honda XR150 and loaded up the bike. With 2 backpacks and 2 smaller bags, we fueled up and set off.
We were not ready for the ever changing landscapes. We stopped frequently to take in the views. The route that we took recommended by Tigit was covered in nice turns sloping down the mountainside. I’m a bit shocked that there wasn’t much of a motorbike/car racing scene here considering the roads the locals ride on everyday would breed some talented drivers/riders.
We spent a night or two in most of the cities but focused most of our time in Ho Chi Minh and Hue where my family lives. Thank you Vietnam for an amazing time, we will be back :)
Vietnam by Motorcycle (travel video) - Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City
Take a trip across Vietnam by motorcycle. Some friends and I spent 30 days and 1,900km (1,200 miles) by motorcycle from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh (Saigon). What an incredible adventure it was.
I love to make travel videos, so don't forget to subscribe to my channel for future videos.

Ride with me thru Crazy Saigon Traffic ????Motorbikes Today in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City Travel 2017
Riding motorbikes in Saigon! I just love it. That feeling of being in a hot fumigated sea of motorbikes cruising like a school of fish thru the concrete jungle. So exotic, so interesting. All the colors, all the sounds, all the people. You see something new every minute:)
We cruise around the streets just showing a small peek of what it's like. Starting in District 1 and ride over the bridge near Bitexco Tower over to District 4 near our hotel / Airbnb. Crazy views from above as well. Quite the colorful urban neighborhood. Enjoy;)

Seeing the Top Gear Vietnam special only further increased the anticipation for one day taking part in it myself. If you’re looking how to motorbike Vietnam, the routes to take, the type of motorbike to take, and top things to do in each location, this video will help!
What’s the first thing anyone would need on a Vietnam motorcycle trip? Motorbikes of course! After touching down in Saigon that's the first to-do item we tackled. While I had long dreamed of making the trip on a proper motorcycle it simply wasn't to be.
The motorbikes that backpackers typically buy are notoriously unreliable. While a few breakdowns might be funny, the group decided to rent so we could maximize the fun part of our trip. We chose to rent more reliable brand new motorbikes from Tigit in Saigon. From a safety and reliability standpoint, Tigit rentals are far better than the Chinese knock off Honda Wins that can be found in backpacker quarters for sale around the city.
Vietnam Motorbike Trip Distance and Prep
The distance that we'll be driving on this Vietnam motorcycle trip is the equivalent of riding from Key West to Chicago. That's over 2,400 kms. We'll be joined for the first two weeks by two travel companions.
Before heading out on the open road the group also does a bit of shopping to prepare for the journey ahead. Vietnamese roads are a bit crazy with all of the motorcycle traffic so helmets and proper clothing are necessary. Allison opts for a helmet, kneepads, and elbow pads because she’s careful. Jaime goes with rolled up sleeves, an unbuckled helmet and flipflops because he is about two steps out of the trailer park.

ABOUT US:
We’re traveling full time, living on our own terms and showing you the up-close-and-personal details of us figuring it out along the way. Sometimes it’s about navigating big, life-altering decisions. Sometimes it’s about navigating the seemingly lawless free-for-all that is driving in Hanoi. It’s moments of triumph and moments of panic. The good, the bad, the ugly – and most importantly, the real and real funny.
We’re not here to tell you “how it’s done.” Just how we’ve done it. And that whatever it is that’s calling you - the way you’ll do it is much more attainable than it may seem. We believe the world’s a more interesting place when people reject convention in favor of what they actually care about. This is us putting that idea to the test – one budget spreadsheet, RV renovation and mountain-peak drone video at a time.

Rush Hour Traffic with motorcycle in Ho Chi Minh city - Vietnam
Traffic jams in Vietnam only frequently take place in Hanoi capital and Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnamese people seem be accustomed to traffic congestion, even miss it whenever they go to other places.
There is no fixed rule for the time the traffic jams to happen but it is worst during the rush hour when everyone is in a hurry to get to work or come back home. Apart from peak hours, the time between 9 am to 10 am and between 3 pm to 4 pm also witnesses long lines of vehicles, mainly motorbikes, struggling to get out of narrow streets. Whenever it rains, the traffic jam gets more terrible with the joining hand of flooding. Taxis are extremely hard to catch or wave during the downpour. However, it only takes about 30 minutes on average for a standstill and 2 hours to get through the worst, not really bad compared to that of other countries.

MOTORCYCLING VIETNAM | Riding 2,000 KM from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi through the Old Ho Chi Minh Road
All the time people message me or comment asking what I route I took, how I prepared for the trip, what licenses I had etc.
Instead of replying to them one by one, sign up here and I will share tips & tricks on navigating Vietnam via motorcycle when I finish writing up my experience!
bit.ly/motorcycling_vietnam
My friend and I bought two bikes at the southern end of Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh), strapped our belongings to the back, and motorcycled everyday to reach the northern end (Hanoi).
A year ago we took a 4 day motorcycle riding course. We did this because we thought some day we would do an adventure tour through the infamous Ho Chi Minh trail through Vietnam. It was a beautiful 2,000 KM stretch of open road through the mountains and jungles of Vietnam. I legitimately thought we were going to do this YEARS from now, because then we would actually be 'ready' and 'capable' of doing something like this. The timing just didn't feel right. I was comfortable in my post-grad 9-5 doldrums and put off a trip like this into the 'someday' bucket, using the future as a phony fantasy to justify the present. You and I both know these were just the everyday lies we tell ourselves. In truth, I was scared shitless. I knew that there would be a time when I would do this trip in my life, 100%, but this felt like it was way beyond my comfort zone. I've backpacked through Eastern Europe and slept on stranger's floors before, but I was hesitant to loosen the grip I had on my domestic certainties -- mostly because I would have to hop on a statistically dangerous deathmobile.
Thanks to my friend Russell, that someday happened the same year we got our M1's. I probably timed out of the final confirmation screen multiple times while booking the tickets. But the rest is history: we did it, made it out safe, and only had one (minor) accident. In hindsight everything took care of itself, and the most challenging part of the whole trip was honestly dealing with the rumination before we took the plunge, and that's including running out of gas, breaking down (nearly everyday), and getting ripped off. Unfortunately we did this trip during the rainy season.
What was amazing and literally saved us multiple times were the locals. We had to make it to Nha Trang but broke down in the middle of a mountain at 5 PM right before sunset, right when the fog was rolling in. (Visibility was only 2 meters ahead) Locals nearby took our bikes to the back of their trucks, strapped it on with our bungee cords, and siphoned the gas themselves with their mouths to prevent any leakage on their trucks. They took us to Dalat which was along the way.
One time, my chain flew off 50 M behind me and snapped completely. We were stuck on the Ho Chi Minh Road where a bike/truck passes by every 5-10 minutes. Our third attempt to hail someone down resulted in two local farmers who got down on their knees and spent at least an hour using their scythe that was for crops as a way to re-attach the chain. After failing to do so, the other farmer eventually rode off to the nearest village and secured the parts from a mechanic to actually re-attach the chain. They wouldn't even take our money, but eventually we repaid them for the parts and many gracious goodbyes were made :)
