During the motorcycle trip through Vietnam there has been many photos taken along the way. Today I'll present some photos taken along the ride south from Phan Rang province to the area just outside Saigon.
One of the important factor when riding a motorcycle cross any country is to make sure the wheels are inflated to the right pressure. To make sure the chain is lubed up and the there is some fresh oil in the engine for those hot days.
I stopped to take some photos from a series of vetches that are unique mode of transport in each country and today I was taking some photos of motorcycle front ends.
While riding along I came across another procession handing out paper money and moving along the street with some speed.
Here it comes:
What a nice spot for this photos.
As the progression rolls along I look around to see what else is going on.
Lets see if I can catch up to them.
Just a bit closer for those photos.....
Making it rain Vietnamese style.
Look behind and see what you can see.
They are coming in a big line behind me.
It is time for me to break formations and fall away from the procession. I want to be respectful to what is happening and not in the way of this moment for the community.
Another photos with the review mirror in it...have a look.
So long for now. I smile and wavy and they drive away as the procession fallow along in cheer and time.
During my time on the road I have eaten a lot of food sitting on my steel horse. Some meals were just one the side of the read and some were snacks and some were almost full meals that I could drive up to eat and drive along all while sitting my self on the steel steed.
I took a few photos of my lunch but today, considering we are looking at ride phots here is a picture of my steam bun resting on the custom gas tank saddle pouch my Buddy Anti made me.
Okay one more of the bun so yum.....
Now lets have a look at more front end of bikes here in Vietnam.
I am trying to find a long string of motorcycles or scooters with there front ends lined up and with enough light to make a photo series of the front ends. This provides some potentials.
I am also collecting photos of the back ends so here are some of those.
Playing with distance and depth as the line of wheels needs to be offset and yet line up to capture many bikes.....maybe this is not the best spot. Time to roll along closer to where I am heading.
But I spot another spot that houses many motorcycles and mopeds...lets have a look....
I am trying to capture the magnitude of now many bikes are in the parking places like these. How many there are and yet how little space they take up. How many modes of transport are all right in the one place for all the people.
Perhaps better lighting is necessary to actually see the bikes with the right light.
Here is a few more front ends that I liked.
The angle of wheels below is what I am trying for.
I think that is enough for now. There is a lot more to come and more of these photos to make a series and collection from the selection of all those that have been taken along the way.
Right now it is time to stop and figure the next leg and where specifically I will be. Stay tuned and fallow along to find out.
Thanks for taking some time to have a look at my work and travels. More to come in the Country of Vietnam and other in the SEA continent of beauty and wonder.
Thanks for the comments and votes they all help to build these posts.
