My FIRST time riding a MOTORBIKE (In VIETNAM...🇻🇳)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Our next big challenge - Motorbikes through Vietnam! Today - The Ha Giang Loop! After seeing the Top Gear Vietnam special we HAD to give it a go - Join us as we undertake Vietnam from the North (Hanoi) to the South (Ho Chi Min) and all there is to discover in between!
We'll take you from beginning to end as we rent motorbikes, swap motorbikes, talk about prices and create a mind blowing route fit for a king (even though we only have one month!)
This is a travel challenge we've dreamed of doing for such a long time and we're absolutely buzzing to be back on the road and pushing ourselves out of our comfort zones! In episode one we'll be taking you around the Ha Giang loop - a popular route in the far northern part of Vietnam where the scenery will blow your chops off!
So strap in lads... it's going to be a wild ride!
This video was shot in the month of June 2022.

Thanks for joining us lads! We are SO excited to be on the road again and exploring one of our favs - VIETNAM! If you have any recommendations please leave them in the comments - VIETNAM BABY! Who's pumped for this one?! 😁
Hope you two stay safe! Remember no video is worth your lives!
We are so pumped for this series
Unreal, I can't thank you enough for bringing us along
Don't miss Phong Nha on your journey south. It's unbelievable. Go and see the caves, you will love it!
this is sooo exciting! guys, i just did the same thing, but Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi, last month. Avoid the coast down south, it's too busy with trucks and many many police controls, they can be a bit sketchy. PLUS, the mountains following the border down to Ho Chi Minh are insanely gorgeous, and the little villages very remote and special!
WOW guys what a start! Cannot wait to follow along 😍 Y'all are simply amazing 👏
You should do this kara & nate at vietnam too
Tina turner simply the best be the best intro song 😆
Thanks guys - it’s been a wild one and we’ve only been here a week 😂
Ps I feel kara did this comment lol was I right!
@@kingingit Howdy! 1 quick question, would make me happy to hear an answer!
But I'm planning a trip to either Vietnam or Thailand for 1 month, and I really am confused about which one will be more fun for me.
- I'm not into clubs, parties, bars, nightlife, restaurants, chilling 24/7 on the beach, etc.
- I'm into tropical landscapes, nature, attractions, sea, ziplines, water sports, animals, diving (open to fill types of attractions, and maybe even a little extreme, such as diving with sharks and such), etc.
Which one you think will be better for me?
Think this is probably the first of your challenges we are watching in real time. Feels cool as we discovered your channel through the mongol rally series and its got that vibe to it for sure! Love SO much about how you’ve already captured the chaos that I think this trip is going to be. Feels like you’re right there in the action. Top work team. Sending heaps of love xxxxx
Thank you guys 🥰 glad to have you with us!
Can't wait to watch the rest. Aimee you got this, every day will get easier.
Thanks Tracy - these roads are proper mad 😂
So excited for this new adventure.
@@kingingit you all are brave !! the traffic alone scares me lol
"Doing this for everybody that's got anxiety that wants to try to beat it" --- you go girl. I have wicked anxiety and you are such an inspiration. Confirming what I already wanted to believe...anxiety is a nuisance, but doesn't have to hold you back when it's worth facing it to do something.
You’re so brave to cycle that far on manic roads. Stay safe!
It is a bit wild, but also organised chaos haha
Aimee i am so proud of you, i struggle with anxiety that can make me miss out on amazing adventures and i am truly inspired to watch you tackle things that are out of your comfort zone and to force myself to try new things. You two are such an awesome couple and i love how y’all joke and tease (that last clip Aimee was hilarious hahahah) can’t wait for next video. I know you all got this!!!
This is epic, would love to follow this route myself. Looking forward to watching your adventure
Cheers Shaun! Please come and do it.. it’s bloody brilliant!
Can't wait for this whole series, I'll be tuning in every week. Legend you are Amiee for pushing yourself and stepping waaaaay outside of your comfort zone and well done to Craig as always for being the kindest person and support to Aimee. However the transport works out, that is only such a small part of the trip, love every minute of it! Vietnam Baby!!
So many moments in this video had me laughing with tears! Loving the editing guys, sending good luck wishes to Aimee from Wales!
I saw Amy set the bag on the bed and thought, hmm that looks like a firm mattress 🤔 then she said it was rock hard a minute after 🤣 y'all are so awesome, really looking forward to this series!
You two have this! Amy, you are a warrior! Let's pump up that self esteem! You have proven that you can do anything if you put your head into it! I would never sleep in a capsule on the side of a mountain, so there you have it! God speed!
My cheeks are hurting from smiling and laughing so much watching this; so jealous and so proud of all of you. I can't help but imagine that at the end of this adventure Aimee will be riding wheelies down the road filled with so much confidence. Driving bikes for the first time in the type of traffic found in Hanoi is truly a trial by fire 🔥
I was also captivated by that Top Gear special all those years ago… so awesome that you’re actually out doing it. Can’t wait for the next episode
10 years almost to the day that we completed the same trip, so weird seeing it all again. I remember visiting the same motorbike shed, back then they didn't hire bikes that I remember of and ended up buying a Suzuki from another place. Glad to see that you brought gloves, I didn't understand till a few days in and my hands looked like roast chicken 😳.
Vietnam, was probably one of the best adventures of my life, thanks for bringing it all back.
So much to see but hope you get to see and spend time out at sea in Halon Bay and perhaps try some climbing or just visit the floating villages. Have fun.
Thank you for posting this
So glad RUclips took me to this channel....looking forward to more vidoes 🙌🏾 ....New subscriber 🇹🇹
Nice job everyone. My wife and I did a Vespa tour in Italy recently with the thought that we would each take turns driving or have our own to drive. When we were doing the little test drives before starting out Karen did not feel like she could safely drive one since she had never driven anything like it and it seemed like her hands wanted to do the opposite of what was necessary. So I drove and it was more natural for me since I had a motor bike growing up and she enjoyed riding behind. So kudos to you Aimee for even taking all this on. You have inspired lessons in the future though. Blessings for a smooth, safe, and fun journey.
So excited for the series, what a start! 👏👏👏 Enjoy Vietnam!
Thank you Dea - what a start aye 😆
Go go captain B you absolute legend. Thank you from another anxiety ridden traveller
🥰🥰🤘🏼 go us!
@@kingingit for someone who is just starting on vlogging and travelling you and @eamonandbec have been really inspirational
Loving this episode! Think I may wait to binge them all ...miss Vietnam so much ...
Thank you Sharina 🥰🤘🏼
I didnt want this episode to end, great job. A a seasoned biker I can say youare all doing really well top marks.
now that I watched the episode I have to say well done Aimee! I'm so proud watching you overcome anxiety/fear and completely killing it on the bike. way to go!
I’m so excited for you all. Aimee, you’ve got this! Looking forward to next week’s episode. Travel safe 💕😊
Wait how am I going to wait for a weeeeeekkkk! Are you kidding me 🥺. I wish I was with you guys! Be careful and good luck you guys!! 💖
amazing 👌 can't wait for next week ☺️
Awesome, thank you Amy!
Soooo EXCITED for this series! Vietnam is awesome. We loved it so much! 🙃We also did Ha Giang Loop, and it's one of the greatest things we've ever done, so enjoy it to the fullest, guys
Cheers guys - it really is a special place isn't it!
@@kingingit Oh yeah! And Amie, you're doing so well! I am freaking out abo🙂ut driving any vehicles. You're brave! Yep, we remember well those hard beds. You brought us a lot of memories from Vietnam. Can't wait for another video 👏
@Kinging-it y'all are absolute Legends! Love the series! Best way to experience Vietnam! So beautiful! Can't wait for part 2!
Loving It!!! Vietnam is somewhere I so want to go ❤️❤️❤️ Aimee you are amazing 🥰
I'll leave another comment your music and choreography when you were leaving to get on the bikes was point on brilliant
Thank you Stephanie!
I love you two crazy adventurers!! Thank you, Aimee and Craig, for sharing your epic journeys❤️❤️👏👏👏
Legend. Thanks Carol - thanks for watching!
Please tell me you plan on meeting up with Paddy Doyle! He’s doing the same trip!
Nooooo I can’t wait a whole week to find out what happens next …. LOVED this vlog so much !!! Brought back so many memories, especially of having my bum on a bike…. and the exhilaration of the open road. Aimee you’re an absolute badass being so scared and just effing doing it anyway❤️ you rock 🌹 got a quick glimpse of your Peruvian wristband Craig … got mine on too!!! You two are bloody legends 🤩
Wearing gloves and no decent elbow/shoulder protection gives me the shivers. Come off the bike, skin will be down to bone in 3 seconds. Good luck though.
Did you have a motorcycle license to drive the bike?
Hey Guys, what happened to the wheelie bin idea????
My absolute favorite thing about watching the two of you is how you build each other up!
Ride; Riding! You don't drive a horse or drive a bike! Drive is for cars.
Ride safe lads.
Literally did this in 2018 and it was one of our best trips ever!!! Vietnam is gorgeous! 🤩
I'm having so much FUN watching you 4, hilarious, awesome people! You are my cup of Tea! So happy that you took the Vietnam Adventure! It's stunningly beautiful there! I was so surprised.
Catch you on the next video! Just loving it,! (Had to say it again, 😁) ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Here I am pissing myself getting a bike in Portugal where there is literally no people on the roads and you wo go to the capital of motorbikes on the road in the world with little to no experience and about to cross the bloody country.
Ahem, Im going to shut up, get on that bike and live life.
You two are ABSOLUTELY amazing. This was the best idea ever!
First episode of the series is awesome. I can't wait for the rest. You guys are such stars.
Appreciate it Reemo! Took us an age to edit so thanks for noticing - episode two is gonna be mental!
@@kingingit counting down the days to next week!
Look at Aimee zipping around those cows and riding with one hand ! Woohoo-go girl!
Y’all stay safe 🤗💕
Haha thanks Tammie!! 🥰🥰
Loving this series already! Can't wait to watch the rest. Aimee, your openness about your anxiety and all the ways you've been overcoming it lately means a lot - I got on a plane for the first time in years recently and was thinking 'What would Aimee do?' to help ground myself 😂 Keep smashing it, both of you x
Nice one guys! Well done for continuing on, wouldn’t be able to do it without those headsets - what a fantastic helpful idea!! And WHAT A FIND in that hotel! BEAUTIFUL!!! Loving all of your comfort-zone-pushing lately, really proud of you Aimee for all of these bloody flights you’ve been on lately, feel it’s been going super uncelebrated 🥳🥳🥳 lovely to see Chloe and James back in your videos too!
Oh my word, what a epic trip. Aimee you are unreal, fairplay girl, you are rocking this. Thanks for sharing,somewhere I don't think I will get to in life, so really enjoying your journey.
Wow living the dream you guys! We’ve done the Hai Van Pass but the not the full distance and I didn’t have the balls to drive my own bike 🙈 well done Amiee! You’ve given me the courage to do it next time!
Aimee, I can’t imagine what hope and encouragement you provide for those living with anxiety. You provide such an example of knowing when to push yourself and when to be gentle with yourself. Sometimes it’s super hard and often it’s messy but you do it and it makes every one of your adventures all the more brilliant. I’ll never see Vietnam, not because of anxiety but because I do NOT do humidity EVER, so this was such great fun to see. I must admit however, this first day has me exhausted so I’m gonna have a sleep on my SOFT mattress.
Wow!!!! Getting some food yeah!💝💜💕💗💖
What a gem this episode, amazing edit! Can´t wait for the next!
You two are awesome, love you both xoxo
Love you guys 💓💓
Since u r in this region..come over to malaysia......
Just discovered your channel, been binge watching it all day! Got to love RUclips when they throw a suggestion like this your way. You guys are awesome can’t wait to see the next episode of this Vietnam has been a dream adventure ever since top gear challenge.
I’m so excited for this series! I’m Vietnamese and haven’t been to Vietnam since 2016. Planning this exact trip too!
I loved Vietnam when I went there a couple years ago. I really love watching this series because it's making me nostalgic. Also, the beds are hard everywhere in Vietnam. But I will say when I was there I had ZERO back pain.
Check out Paddy Doyle's videos as he's doing northern Vietnam now (his latest video of the Ha Giang Loop was AMAZING!!). And Ride with Gabi is doing southern Vietnam.
Watching that footage of y’all riding down the road gave me driving anxiety all the way from here in my bed… good stuff though!! Badass if I do say so myself
"Privacy at this hotel is next level"
(blink, blink)
lmao
😂😂😂
Aircon ,tv remote , room key , 🔑 👌 I fuckin love Vietnam xxx!
Straight up Champion 😂
I must admit I am completely jealous of the adventure!! So many memories made and challenges conquered!! So many times anxiety rules us instead of us ruling our anxiety. Way to go Aimee!!!
Please remember that in this season in Vietnam it usually rains heavily after 4pm and lasts about 30 minutes, please be safe
Most people in Vietnam use locomotives, so there will be a lot of traffic around 7:00 am and 4:00 pm every day, you can avoid this period
Sooooo nice of you to post this info! 💛💛
so fun!! miss you guys last week
Happy to be on board with you guys! Thanks for putting our units through a waterproof test with all that rain!
So excited for you and this adventure!! You’re doing great! In larger cities, temples are a great source for vegetarian food. Temples will either sell good or look for restaurants nearby!
Aimee, if you've decided to ride with Craig, that is not a let down. You just did 5 fricken hours on your own! Be proud that you tried it and that you've made a change to take good care of you. Whatever you've decided is the right choice! I'm so impressed with everything so far!
Thanks Lynnie, I needed to hear that ♥️
Legend of a country .... GAME ON
Oh my god guts rhe best. I smiled all the way. Amy go girl 👧
Can't wait for the rest of this series. Love Vietnam, it's and incredible place. Enjoy!
It has to be one of the most stupidest ideas to rent a motorcycle out in Vietnam if your not a confident rider or new to it because they are some of the most crazy and dangerous roads on the planet I do hope you stay safe 🙏
Other women learned to ride there including Fin (from the Tim and Fin channel) as well as Tia from One Pack Wanderers. They did great...but that doesn't mean accidents won't happen, for sure.
So looking forward to this series. Thanks to you both for sharing your travels with us.
First and so excited
Thanks for the heart
YOU TWO are such highlights of the week! We ALWAYS have a smile while watching your adventures! You got this AIMEE👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑
Wow you guys are brave for doing this!! Vietnam looks amazing! We're heading there next year 🙂
You guys are already REALLY making me miss Vietnam with this series! Lived there for a year. Super cheap, amazing nature, incredible food..and those super hard beds! 😂 Vietnam was actually the place that made me fall in love with hard beds! Had them in our apartment, and once we got used to em', we had the best sleeps. Good for your back. 🛌
Only thing I'd say is I hope you're all super careful with those bikes. Wasn't even in Vietnam for a week, and drove by an motorcycle accident- guys head was cracked open like a watermelon over the highway. 😬
Good luck, and stay safe.
Aimee I'm SO PROUD of you!! You look AWESOME riding that bike!
You got way farther than I would've!! Great job.
Love you guys❤️
Aimee, I feel your pain, I know the anxiety driving in that kinda crazy, unlike almost anywhere in the world-- but you'll grow more confident with time and find your groove. Stay safe sweets! Proud of you lads. Vietnam, amazing country, so excited to watch your journey. Takes me back. :)
So much fun❣️ Thank you for taking us along ❣️❣️ On a side note, can I just say, Amy is so naturally beautiful, it saddens my heart that she indicates disappointment towards her natural self. The wigs are fun for sure but she would be just as fun naturally. Love you both and love seeing 🇻🇳.
LOVED all 30 minutes! Great start to this series.
You guys are BRAVE. Without anxiety I wouldn’t go motor biking anywhere. So tops off to you all. Have fun be safe and rest often.
Amazing!
Good day to you!
This is a senior rider on Honda from Japan.
Enjoying camping and video uploading.
Your tour video is so great !!
Awesome!
Full supported !
Have a nice day my friend !!
You just make us SMILE!!!! We adore you two so much, and this adventure is going to be amazing!!!! A little late for premier, but WOW you guys are just awesome! Lots of safe travels💖💖💖~Cara
