Hi guys,to start off i've been on this forum for several years now. Only posted on here when I rode in '05 and '08, so it's been awhile since i've ridden, will again in the next few years i hope. Met alot of great people through the rides/hook-up forums.
I'll be heading to SE asia next month, back packing through different countries, have 4 months off from work to do this, 1st timer back-packing/travelling solo. I'll be starting off in thailand 1st, and go from there. Pretty much to sum it up why I'm posting on here, is i'm planning to probably buy a motor-bike there and travel to/through viet-nam, as most people have done it. Don't know if it's worth riding else-where in SE asia?? I know there are alot of mixed reviews about doing something like this, some have said it's dangerous, and some have had great experiences doing what they did, even "Top Gear" did episodes like this. But personally i'll see how things are when i'm down there and will see for myself.
But just wondering, if any of you guys have personally done this as well, and be able to provide some details/ websites, with more infomation regarding this, such as maps, good roads to ride, where to ride too, anything that'll come in handy. I'll do print outs so i have something to refer too while there as well.
thanks, Edwin.
