Vietnam is a frontier destination and a ride on an old school Soviet motorbike through its rugged mountains is an unparalleled adventure.  Discover enormous mountains populated by hill tribe communities living as they have for centuries. Skirt gorges, chasms and cliff faces, cruise high mountain passes, enter remote weekly markets and discover hidden terraced valleys and isolated communities while you tour Vietnam by motorbike.
