This is the best Ha Giang video on RUclips. It captures the feeling the best. It's an indescribable experience to drive through those mountains.
Thankyou Ruben. It was a wonderful experience, I was filled with joy and wonder. Hope we both get a chance to do it again.
Best video! Thanks
Absolutely stunning! So lush and green. And that cute little girl! Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Great edit!
Thanks for working your way back through the list. The views were amazing, great to be alive. The little girl looked amazing in her Hmong gear. Was happy with the way this video worked out.
Beautiful country roads
Too much fun.
this is where I really want to go for a ride, I was up around sapa and almost going to get a scooter and check it out. It's on the list now. good vid mate
Its the best riding in Vietnam. Definitely put it on your list, a small dual sport is the way to go. Just back from 2900km up North, absolutely amazing. Would do it again next week.
hell no, i live in my country and i dont know those scene is fucking amazing, tks for the video
p/s: sry for bad english :(
Hà Nam Its so beautiful. Your English is good ;>)
Hello to you from Hà Nội Việt Nam. Gonna do this loop next week in the Spring - Dry and cold season now. Perfect for a trip to north Vietnam. So excited!
@@BikesDrones gonna do in 10 days. Hà Giang - Mộc Châu - Lào Cai - Hoà Bình - Ba Bể lake. These are one of the most popular places in the north. If u haven’t been to those places, highly recommend you to do this!
Simply stunning scenery, looks like quite an experience. Cheers for sharing buddy :)
Thanks brother, in the mountains it was always changing and usually stunning.
That is some beautiful spots indeed!
Just some in a whole series coming of the always changing always beautiful Northern Vietnam.
Nice ride and nice music .
Thanks man, it was an amazing place. Glad you enjoyed the video :>)
That’s absolutely amazing footage.
Thanks Brother. Was a great trip.
the unfiltered laughter at the start says it all. looked like an excellent start to the adventure man. good to see you uploading again
Plan on another trip next year, hopefully you will get a chance to join me. Pure joy Alex, been wanted to get back up there for a while.
Wow - you HAVE been on quite the adventure :)
I do hope this is a teaser for plenty more. Amazing scenery and all kinds of death-defying riding by the looks...
That little girl with the big hat!! Cutest thing ever!!
Great stuff mate.
It was the ride of a life time. This was a high light of the trip. There are a few more videos left to be shared from this epic adventure. The little girl in full Hmong gear was such a cutie.
I had to pause and look for reason as to why there was a Vietnam war, but I'm even more confused now than I was before after reading up on it. What made me look is the people you are bumping into, they seem like they are living a life of total joy, even though they might be working hard physically, us Aussies could learn a thing or two. I'll have to show the kids this video.
This 3000km trip was one of my favorite road trips, two good mates that could ride well and some amazing places to explore. This trip had been on my bucket list for a couple of years was so delighted to experience it. As for war don't understand it at all, young men fighting old men's battles.
Agree 100%
True, the country suffered 2 bloody war in a row, such a strong and brave people.
@@bamboo9666 at least 3. We fought China for like a thousand year (111- 1427) n recently, 1979 n some smalls fights at Hoang Sa island.
That's the outcome when u'r next to China.
Wow amazing scenery and great vid. Not sure about the water buffalo though haha..How have i not seen this before, just found it on my watch later list......
It was a fantastic trip, beautiful mountain's and great riding buddies.
Beautiful
Thank you.
So pround of my country ;)) :P
Excellent video
Such a beautiful part of the world. Thank you.
This is beautiful!!!
Thankyou. Hope you are in a good place with caring friends.
@@BikesDrones Yes indeed. :) And you as well!
This is a beautiful loop. I have been there
Lucky Cuong Nguyen.
All I can say is wow! Ride safe mate.
Was very pleased we all got back in one piece. Cheers brother.
Omg!!!!
From Vietnam with love:)
;>)
This videos are amazing .. I really like the pov prospective and it is hard to find it on youtube.. Thanks.. you are worth 40.000 Subscribers !
Glad you enjoyed my motorcycle adventure video, it was a very special ride.
The roads are well maintained up in the mountains!
Some of them are in first class conditions, others not so much.
What a video for me to stumble upon, those twisty mountain roads made me all nostalgic. First time I rode a motorcycle was in Ho Chin Minh City; I was 26 and it was one of those shitty Chinese replica Honda Win 100ccs, which I'd guesstimate was probably built circa 1996. Got the seller to teach me how to ride it (having been driving cars for years gave me the advantage of understanding how a manual transmission works), did a few laps around a relatively quiet Saigon block and bought the bike for $250.
Set out about 8am on a Monday on a road trip across Vietnam (not realising the wet season was just beginning) with the aim of riding to Hanoi but only made it as far as Quy Nhon (via Ham Tien/Phan Thiet, Da Lat and Nha Trang), roughly 1/3 of the distance between Saigon and Hanoi. Riding 6 hours from city to city in torrential rain to then feel unmotivated to explore the towns on arrival (because of the weather) got the better of me and the bike was shoved in the hold of a sleeper bus to Hanoi. Some of those roads I rode on though... I'd round a mountain and see another valley full of rainforest punctuated by a huge river, epic waterfall and limestone karst cliffs. Or sandy bay after sandy bay along a stretch of idyllic undeveloped coastline.
Now back at home in the UK a year and a half later, I've had my unrestricted licence for a month and can't get enough of riding bikes, all thanks to that Vietnam trip. I might have just spent my life driving cars and getting pissed off with everybody else on the road.
Sounds like an amazing adventure despite the rain. Motorcycle riding can sure be addictive ;>)
Damn it! Look at what you've done! You've just added this to my bucket list!! 😁 Excellent video bro! Subs fo sho!
I watched a video on this area and put it on my list, was so exciting to see it in person. A great adventure awaits you.
It's like a chain reaction now...hahah. Hopefully I'll get chance in the future👍
Well come to vietnam
Vietnam is a wonderful country.
Amazingly beautiful, loved it. :)
The North of Vietnam was amazing so beautiful and dangerous. Thanks brother, watched your last video for inspiration before I made it.
Yeah I watched it, very narrow roads. Glad you did it. Thanks :)
Gurneet Singh I was so happy to get back safe and sound to my family. Will do another road trip soon ;>)
All the best brother (Y)
Nice one! We’re planning on doing the Ha Giang loop shortly. As I see the XR is a great choice for this trip.
Its great for the trip, a CRF250L would be even better.
@@BikesDrones Did the trip! And you were right, a 250 would've been better. Too bad they don't rent those.
Hi! do you remember the name of the road you rode on from the minute 2:20 to the end? where is it in Ha Giang? Thanks
Sorry man, dont know the name.
Is it many villagers, festivals?
It is a clean picture. I want to see the aerial photography, too.
There are a few festivals for the villagers. I used a GP4 but unfortunately the drone is broken.
I would love to do this. But I have no biking experience. Think its safe enough for a beginner if I rent a motorbike? Not sure what I'd do if the bike broke down there! And man.. those trucks drive close by you.
Many people rent a bike without experience but alot also get into accidents. I saw inured people nearly everyday at the local bacpackers. The traffic is wild and the truck drivers are even crazier. I would strongly recommend you get some training and experience before you rent a bike in Vietnam. It is possible to rent a bike with a driver for tours, its a great way to explore sections of the country and stay much safer. Costs more but still good value.
Bạn nên tới Tà Xùa
2:04 shes adorable
I agree. A little angel.
Nice bro. We just arrived. What's the 150 like for two people? I seen they have xr250s for rent
The 150 will handle two people "well enough" but an XR250 would be so much better. Especially in the mountains. You will get there with the 150 but you will have a lot more fun on the 250. For my money go for the 250, its worth the price premium.
Nope, nope and double nope but just WOW! :)
I should know better. I already had bruised ribs from going over the handlebars down a steep single track on the same XR a week before the trip started . One off and I was a goner, a long way from home. I had the best road trips which two cool Vietnamese riders and we all got home alive.
Just subbed mate , thanks for watching my vids too. looks like you have had some great adventures, will check them out. Vietnam looks pretty cool.
Cheers Bazza. These days mainly just ride in Victoria which is OK as we are blessed with great twisties and offroad trails as you well know.
Việt Nam
what is the choice of bikes like there? I ride 2 up, so with luggage my 650 Vstrom is my weapon of choice normally, but im thinking that looks like Himalayan territory? the XR15o might struggle 2 up with luggage 🙂 your thoughts?
The bike of choice was the CRF250L, easy to get rentals in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh. If a Himalayan was available to rent now it would be perfect. Two up would be Ok but better one bike each. There are CVT scooters that will take your partner anywhere you want to go or even the classic cub if gears a not a problem. In Vietnam you need to ride slower due to the chaos of people dogs goats jumping in front of you and the crazy truck drivers. The great thing is because accommodation and eating out is so inexpensive your dont need to load up on camping and cooking gear and can always get laundry done at the hotels done so dont need too many clothes. Packing light is the way to go. Renting a bike in Ho Chi Minh and dropping it off in Hanoi or visa versa is definitely a great start of a plan. Check online and see if they have any bikes that will meet your needs. Bigger bikes are rare as they attract a lot of tax and get expensive even by western standards. Happy New Year to you and your family. Let's hope 2024 is your best year yet.
@@BikesDrones as you say, bigger bikes are pointless in that situation, but we will be 2 up, so the Himalaya would be the better option than CRF, but ill look, I think itll be India again soon though so there is always a choice and its never easy 🙂
Just found out they rent CB500X in Vietnam. India is on my list of place to explore love to start in Deli and head into the Himalayans. @@barebonesmc
Cheers, re India, just do it mate. I did Delhi to Rishikesh, then the next time into Rajasthan. Unforgettable
With what kind of camera did you filmed this?
GoPro Hero 4 black.
Between which towns was this route It's amazing.
The first part was heading North up to Ha Giang and the rest were snippets from the Northern Loop in Vietnam.
Thank you.!!
@@BikesDrones Where is the 1:40 mark? I did "the loop" and don't remember this.
Nice ride, plan on doing this soon. But question, the roads at 1:16, was that a scenic tour or would i have to ride through that stuff? Don't wanna die haha
That was a side trip at 1:16 you wont have to ride it unless you want ;>)
cheers my friend! This looks awesome! wish I could be there!! greate video quality...is it a gopro 4?
Yes GP4 Black. 2900 km road trip, 80% mountain twisties.. Got so many stories to tell and places to share.
yaii..looking forward for the videos to come! Brilliant work..
Hello
Hello
damn
Appreciated.
fuck man, this gave me goosebumbs... is it possible to drive on this rodes if you don't know how to ride a motorbike yet?
It is a very dangerous place to learn how to ride. Best get some experience first.
Did you have a Vietnam driver license and motobike insurance with the cards which are both mandatory here? Have a bad accident without either your fault or not and see what happens. Ever seen the show-"Locked-Up Abroad'? This is a dirty, dusty, noisy and dangerous country and not all like you see in these videos.
Have you ever been to Vietnam? Lived there for 10 years. Never had a license and when pulled over twice for speeding, let off. The cops in Vietnam treat tourists with kit gloves. They use the locals as a source of bribes. The traffic is very free range but the speeds are much lower and you learn the patterns. The most dangerous drivers are the "professionals" truck and bus drivers. They are mobile death machines like sharks amongst minnows. Meet many hundreds of tourists who were exploring Vietnam by motorbike and a few with injuries usually minor and usually riders that thought Vietnam is a good place to learn to ride. Most had the time of their lives getting out and meeting the beautiful friendly country folk. Loved your truck restoration. Hope you and your family have a joyous and peaceful Christmas. Peace
It is so beautiful, Thank.
Such a special place.
I was lucky enough o ride these roads on a Honda CRF250L in January and February this year (2019) as part of my 4400km tour of Vietnam. Amazing country and people..plus great riding roads
The CRF250L would have been perfect for the trip.
The best part of Vietnam to me ! Nice memories on those roads :)
Thanks Vincent. Fantastic memories with good friends in the most dramatic part of Vietnam. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
Even to Vietnamese, , this is the most beautiful place in Vn.
Such a beautiful scenery to ride motorbike.
It was amazing place to ride. I had wanted to ride there so a long time and was very excited to finally explore Ha Giang.
Ah such a gorgeous video! Really makes me miss my 100cc Honda wave I used on this trip! Haha!
Thanks Melissa, it certainly a special place to explore by motorcycle.
Great video. Thanks
Hope you get to ride up there, very special place.
Amazing!!! Thanks for sharing bro... :)
My pleasure. It was such a privilege to be able to get out and explore with a couple of friends.
Absolutely beautiful mate!! Loved it.
Thanks Joe Joe, it was a great journey.
Ok - will have to try and get a Vietnam 2019 tour going!
Sounds like a great idea. I am heading up North again next year, spend more time in a few places and explore the local trails.
It really is a beautiful place, well done ;-)
I was so excited to be ride there with friends we were all just buzzing on the ride and the environment. Its is such a awesome place.
Epic for sure. You run into some really awesome people. Those ladies thought you had a baby in the back pack. Hahaha
One of the ladies wanted me to take her down on the back of the bike. I was fully loaded and with a rib injury already was scared enough riding down the greasy trail.
beautiful ride mate . . hills are awesome :) . .less traffic but watch out for the cows, same here in some places . .and they seem to be a bunch of happy people. .
Cows, ducks, chickens can all jump out at the last minutes, scary when they do.
Fantastic vid! Great scenery and people look so friendly, no city people I guess :)
Always friendly in the remote Villages. Cheers.

Nice thankyou
My pleasure.
OMG! Excelent video, excelent motocycle, excelent place.... Salduos desde Mexico City (Y)
Cheers bud, glad you enjoyed it. The XR 150 is a go anywhere bike :>)
Beautiful video, love the immersion into Vietnamese culture, especially at the end.
Thanks mate. Had an amazing 2900km trip with a couple of Vietnamese friends. Blew all my A roll in this one video :>) Mixing up with the locals and playing pantomimes was my thing in Vietnam. Hows your drone business going ?
@@BikesDrones Yeah the drone business is good, although its become a videography business now as drone footage only constitutes 20 to 30% of shots required for most clients. It's been a real steep learning curve, but luckily I'm still loving it. I'm also hoping to release a motorbike video soon as that is also another passion for me. I'll be very keen to hear your feedback once its finished. Cheers mate.
@@redbarondroneimages8871 Thats great news, thought you were heading that direction from your uploads, very professional.
Had to stop this and play on the big screen. Truly a stunning country.
It was just so good to be alive. I was thinking of Sweetman, MrAus and yourself, maybe 2017.
+Bikes & Drones lol I edited that out of my comment. Was going to say if your still there I'll drag some lads over.
Toobi-wan Onroadi Mr Aus is saving up. Sweetman has mumbled about wanting to go. I'm back to Aus end next year so I'm keen.
Looks like an awesome trip mate. The scenery is unbelievable! What an amazing place to ride!
It was the Motorcycle adventure of a lifetime. Two great riding buddies, stunning scenery and we all made it home incident free. Penciling another trip next year. You are welcome to join us next one ;>)
Well, I am working full time now, as well as having our business. So as soon as I get on top of some debts and seeing as I'll also get paid holiday pay, then that could be a possibility mate. I'm keen!
***** I understand Bill. Lots of balls to keep in the air as a married man. Fingers crossed. 14 days flying in and out of Hanoi should do the trick nicely.
Now that I know I'm getting steady income, I will be able to plan for trips that I've been unable to plan for in the past. I'm definitely keen and will start tentatively planning and saving. :-)
Man your video makes me remind of this place so much. Did the Northwest loop last year solo and it was amazing man! Unfortunately GoPro didn't work out well so couldn't record, still have some great pictures though :)
Its an amazing area to explore. Glad you got to experience it in real life.
looked like you was enjoying yourself :-)
Loving life mate. Two great ridding mates and 2900 km of twisty heaven ;>)
Bikes and Drones? My two favorite passions. How can I not sub? Great content, I really enjoyed. Thanks for doing what you do.
Thank you, this was a fun video to make and an amazing adventure ride.
You should go to DaLat ,DaLat is very cold but is have A river Xuan Hung
Thanks Ken, been to DaLat a couple of times. Very beautiful area.
Damn what a wonderful country 😍 and it seems that is has so many good people there. Why you have so few subscribes, this is awsome work :)
Thanks man. I was really happy with this video. Great memories of a 3000 km trip with two Vietnamese mates.
Looks amazing, where did you spend your nights in this remote part of vietnam? Planning a trip over there like this myself next year.
Go check flamingo travel in Hanoi they have lots of information and bikes for hire.
Fantastic vid!, Whats music?
Thanks.

Bucket list just got bigger - dammit!
The mountains in Northern Vietnam are a worthy inclusion to any riders bucket list. This trip with two Vietnamese friends was one of my most enjoyable. Felt like everyday was a special gift. Cheers XXXDeadhead.
This looks just stunning. I've been planning to go to Vietnam for a while, but I don't think I could ride these mountains since I've got so little riding experience :(
Its a fantastic place to explore. With little riding experience I would not recommend riding. You can get a bike with a guide and ride pillion which would be your best option.
Where 2018 video
Another video soon Ken.
I want new vid now 🇻🇳😑
