Great job on the video, guys. I travel via moto a lot and often do trip reports on ADV, but never make videos because they are usually pretty lame. Yours is a nice exception!
Great video, thank you. We're looking to tour the North this October on a xr150, it looks more than capable 2 up, I guess it had enough power to get up the hills without a struggle?
Hello, that was one great adventure of a lifetime. Best shared with your loved one. Btw, I'm really interested with this bike honda xr 150. How good was it for your long travel? Can you share some pros and cons about it? Thanks and take care!
Hi there It was the perfect bike for this trip : + lightweight + easy to handle in all kind of situation + strong off-road abilities but capable of "high" speed as well + reliable + easy to and cheap to maintain + lots of spare parts + big tank and low fuel consumption (500km max with one full tank) Cons : - a bit limited in off-road with 2 people + luggage - center of gravity a bit high with this kind of artesanal luggage mount
Thanks for your map link. I’m doing a very similar Hanoi-HaLong Bay loop myself but even longer (down to Ninh Binh, along to Dien Bien Phu then to Sapa before Ha Giang) Did you pass by Ban Gioc Falls completely in Cao Bang? You must’ve only been 50km away!
I bought it, because I didn't want to have constraints, and because the full trip last 5 months I got to cross some borders. Actually I just arrived in Laos from Cambodia.
Such a well done video - soundtrack perfectly knit in there too. Stoked that travel bug in me! Thank you for posting this!
Wow ... Beautiful ... breath taking ... magnificent scenery!!!
Thank you. Awesome country
Great video and representation of the wonders you can find in Vietnam when you stick to the back roads!
Awesome trip 💪

How long did it take you to cover the route? Do you reckon 5 weeks is enough?
Hi ! I spent 5 weeks for this route, it's enough but maybe you'll adjust with what happens during your trip ;)
Thanks for your map link. I’m doing a very similar Hanoi-HaLong Bay loop myself but even longer (down to Ninh Binh, along to Dien Bien Phu then to Sapa before Ha Giang)
Did you pass by Ban Gioc Falls completely in Cao Bang? You must’ve only been 50km away!
Hi there. Glad it can help
No, didn't go to the waterfall but we were close it's true

Came here via Reddit 👍
I take you rented that bike for the month. How much did that cost? Thinking of doing a similar type trip.
I bought it, because I didn't want to have constraints, and because the full trip last 5 months I got to cross some borders. Actually I just arrived in Laos from Cambodia.
@@johnpopaul8966 you coming to Thailand?
@@edgarbleikur1929 Yes, in mid/late January I think, but not sure I would be able to cross with the bike, I heard it's random.
great editing, when you got stopped by police, how much bribe money did you pay?
I never paid, I respect the law. Even if they try hard and bluff, just be patient, polite and smile
@@johnpopaul8966 did you have the license?
@@johnpopaul8966 great video btw
French motorbike licence + international driving licence, yes
Thanks
