from Budapest, Hungary (Permalink)Hi Joe. I have a cs group here in Saigon called Saigon Bikers which is aimed at helping all bikers in VN.
Regarding the legalities; you CANNOT cross the borders (legally) as ownership is nigh on impossible to achieve-a nice bribe usually gets one across though, but then, in the other country you become a MAGNET for police with foreign plates...lots of little bribes.So, that call is entirely up to you...if you bring a bike from NZ then that is another story.
AS for riding in VN, officially you need a bike license but it is overlooked mostly, again, a 5 dollar bribe is acceptable as a license. Good luck and drop in for a beer here in SAigon. cheers, Graham
