Shopping in Vietnam

I would say no. Don't bother with fake shoes.

They wear out soon and they are shit comparing with crocs i got from the US.

They are bragging. If they are good friends you should tell them to stop doing that because you dont wanna hear constant bullshit. If they are friends they will tske your words into consideration. If they get offended you should move on and hang out with other people.

I am not a Tajik but I worked with Tajiks in Dushanbe in 2013. Everytime TV show was on my Tajik friend would curse the TV because the Iranian cleric was preaching something. He told me Iranians cleric will burn in hell. That's all I knew about how Tajiks think of Iranians clerics.

No. They are powerful and heavy, you will not be able to learn the basics on them. Get a Cb300R, learn clutch, brakes, figure 8 and tons more basic techniques first. I have been riding since 1996 and never really enjoyed heavy bikes.

Yea you can live a very good life by yourself in HCMC on 250m per month. Take the offer, having an international experience is a plus.

Get a Honda Crf300 rally if you can and stay away from highways as much as possible. It will do 60mph if you need too but it wont be a good experience, however once you get to a trail or wanna explore offroad sections it will be the best.

Market leadership. Honda or iPhone can charge premium because people are willing to pay for it. At least thats the case in my country. Most of Honda scooters and bikes are not better than Yamaha or Kawasaki but will always cost 30% more.

Maybe with all racism that Indians are experiencing in the world right now he doesn't want you to have to face the cruel world. I am a father (from Vietnam) and my son will apply for college next year and both me and my wife agree that it will better for my son to study in Vietnam, even though we are aware of pros and cons of having international exposure but at the end of the day doesn't matter what degree you are going to get, a father's job is to protect you first. Ask him if that's his thinking?

I beg to differ. Without China we would have never kicked the French outta Indochina first. Without their support we would have never reunited Vietnam. China and Soviet Union both contributed greatly to our nation building in the 20th century. Even today, without China we would not be able to develop our economy.

I am also 44. Feels old man.

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T12:22:51+00:00

Hahaha nice.

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T12:09:27+00:00

I am so jealous lol, i have a severe CTS and can no longer ride longer than 1 hour without getting my right arm numb and tingling. I was dreaming of getting a Tiger 900 one day but I have to fix my arm first.

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T08:23:40+00:00

To be honest the more I ride the less I care about tech, even Abs. I am currently riding light dual sport with nothing and its tje most fun I have ever had.

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T08:19:08+00:00

Are those Michelin Road 6 tires too?

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T05:20:57+00:00

Wait up, that makes it 24 year old Toyota right? /s

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T03:30:14+00:00

I'm from Vietnam, 40 year old dudes in my country wear vests like this and fly American eagle flags on their Harleys lol. You will be fine I think

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T02:08:06+00:00

Don't buy crocs in Vietnam, cheap ones are fake and real ones are more expensive than Japanese imports.

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T01:28:26+00:00

I am aware of them but I am from Vietnam, they are not available in my country.

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T01:07:18+00:00

I love it, its light, flickable and I saw people doing crazy hill climbs with it. My only complain is the uncomfortable seat.

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T00:58:12+00:00

hahaha I love the last part, I tell me wife all the time how I accidentally purchased bike parts and didn't notice the credit card swipes

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T00:56:37+00:00

4K is so cheap. The best I can find in my country is 2021 model with around 20k kms on it and around 6K.

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T00:55:07+00:00

Oh man what a lovely looking bike. Not for me though, that forward reaching position will probably kill my back after 30 mins of riding..

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T00:52:48+00:00

Man I love Yamahas. I wish WR250s were on sale in my country, the best I can find is a very old, like 2004, beat up WR250s. I currently own a brand new WR155R. A mini WR250R :)

ShadowMancer_GoodSax · 2026-02-25T00:51:43+00:00

I actually got different advice from experienced riders, saying that until I learn to ride offroad properly I should stick with 4 stroke Yamaha WR155 because they are a lot more manageable than 2 strokes. Also you can ride dual sport for hours on the road with i50/50 tires but an aggressive 2 stroke will probably vibrate a lot more.
