Luck with Vietnam
Just tryn to give a bit of info back to the HUBB as I've taken so muh from it.
After bieng seriously doubtful of entering Vietnam after reading all the blogs I gave it a go at the Lak Sao border. I guess I can say i got Lucky and the customs offical let me go after a bunch of smiling and a couple of questions of "which side of the road will you drive?' or "will you break any laws in Vietnam?" which after answered correctly, he said with a smile," ok you can go"
So that is it. just in case anyone is interested. Although my disclaimer is that he never said Vietnam is open ,I my have came on the day he was in a good mood.

Wel, I am on a HOnda XR650r, and driving on all sides of the road is the only way to go. hehehh, and I think I break laws everysecond as there are so many of them. found out can't leave your bike on the street of Hanoi overnight or while partying at the clubs the hard way. Got Lucky as some friendly Vietnamese people picked up my bike and carried it about 50 meters to a parking lot for me so the police wouldn't take it. Fantistic place and great people.
Keep on Smilin

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
