Vietnam
Hello Maria and others,
I rode my 600 Tenere in Vietnam in 2001 and I had quite some trouble with the police. The police was very unfriendly and demanded lots of money. My license was not valid for Vietnam and they wanted to confiscate my bike (which I imported without custom documents).
After three hours with the police I just took my documents and rode away ... they could not follow a 600 Tenere, but they tried.
Than I did not stop for the police anymore, and I also did not stop at the road toll gates. After a month I left Vietnam, and I will never return. I did not like the people.
They won the war against the French, they won the war against the Americans and now they are fighting the war for the tourist dollar and they are also winning this.
My advise: if you ride in Vietnam stay away from the police.
Greetings
Mika
