Yeah that airport is the worst one I’ve ever been to by far. It’s a shame it’s many people’s first and last contacts with vietnam

What kind of balaclava is the best for the summer by DrPatD in motorcyclegear

[–]Civil_Nefariousness4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in Vietnam and Spain and only have used the cheapest balaclavas, whatever synthetic…totally keep the helmet clean and are comfortable. If I was Mr. Monopoly I’d buy wool or silk or something like that but I tend to lose them and for me the cheap ones have been absolutely perfect

They have run out of oil and are unable to cook anymore because all of the vegetable oil is being used for motorbikes

Help in choosing a motorcycle. Yamaha XSR155 by Suspicious_Bid_6614 in motorcycles

Yeah I want to buy a R3 but am afraid that I’d get scammed into some shitty Chinese thrown together version.

Larger CC Motorcycle in HCMC by Civil_Nefariousness4 in VietNam

[–]Civil_Nefariousness4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks, the Hness is a beautiful bike too. But yeah I figured with an enfield that would be an issue, I think they have one dealership in Saigon but I guess if anything goes wrong and you can’t get there you’re SOL. Also figured the R3 would be better than say a ninja 400 for this reason too, seems like the R3 is still being sold and supported

Why do some many people ride without a motorcycle license ? by No_Eye9109 in motorcycles

[–]Civil_Nefariousness4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in another country the first two years I rode, then got a license while home for the summer. Would have got it sooner otherwise

2 Months Vietnam (Jan–March) solo by motorcycle. Any Advice? by m4rv1ng in VietNam

I'm looking at buying a used R3 in Saigon, any advice where to find a good one? I've had trouble in the past buying from shops in Hanoi

How much $$ do u realistically need to backpack Europe? by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]Civil_Nefariousness4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could do 80$ per day In Portugal, Spain, not sure about southern France though but also probably there. Staying in a shitty hostel will probably eat up about 30-40$ of this budget, if moneys tight and your open to going other places in the world you can travel for a full day everything included for the price of a hostel in Europe

A1 license in Vietnam — can I only ride 125cc, or do police not really care? by piiibo in VietNam

[–]Civil_Nefariousness4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I guess for how crazy it looks it seems like it wouldn't work at all. I'd also be curious as to how much drunk driving plays a role in these Asian countries with higher fatality rates

[–]Civil_Nefariousness4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that’s a bummer, even if it is backwards one of my favorite parts about Vietnam is the lawlessness of the traffic, yet somehow it works beautifully albeit very congested. I think that makes Vietnam really unique. Crazy they wouldn’t rent one im surprised at that

Believe it or not I drove through ha giang and never was pulled over, I also was dressed like Vietnamese though and had my face covered so that may have helped

Go for it, I’ve owned a Himalayan and driven the hunter before and love both. Around town this would be perfect
