This was Day 1 into my Vietnam journey from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi by motorbike. I had zero experience with motorbikes but after a very quick 30 minute lesson from the rental company I had it mastered.. kind of! Taking almost 2 hours just to get out of the city due to the chaotic traffic and free for all road rules I eventually managed to navigate my way into the more peaceful country side stopping off maybe every 5-10 minutes to take in some of the breathtaking views! In the photo above is me on my trusty Honda Win 127cc, known as a backpacker bike.. you will never see a local riding one of these. Luckily for me the rental company only rent out the much more reliable Vietnamese models and not the typical Chinese copies.
