Vietnam Now…Specifically Thursday…9 P.M.-ish
Hanoi is wonderful…a million motobikes…HOT HOT HOT! i’m talkin’ 3 cold showers a day hot (this also applies to the girls on the motobikes).
Next…off on my first MOTORCYCLE ride ever Saturday..i’m learning on a Russian Minsk 125cc wonderbike…lets hope it stays together on my 750 or so km trip to the Tonkinese Alps Northwest of Hanoi. Vietnam…”the most dangerous country in the world to ride a motorcycle!”
Don’t worry…We’re leaving at 5 a.m to avoid traffic (& escape Pres. Bush who arrives Friday)after the first hard days travel of 250-300 km @ maybe 45 km/hr the roads turn to dirt, the traffic disappears, the speed slows to 20-30km/hr & i’ve got a helmut. Plus we’re going in disguise as locals to avoid bandits! And Tim bought a machete today!
What could possibly go wrong?
Just kidding! here’s a real one…
