Vietnam Motorcycle Ride, A Docu-Journal

Finally we're off. You know, for Hanoi traffic, this isn't that bad. Okay, that's bad. Whoa, shut your door. Street fare on the highway, nice. They're hanging out chatting, keeping up with us. I guess he's testing our dirt riding skills before we get too far out of town. How do you get around this guy? Whoa, good one, Grant. Here come the mountains. Very cool. Wow, sometimes you have to struggle to keep your eyes on the road. Other road, other road, other road. Oh, thanks. Wow, that was narrow. Some hard working folk, working hard. And then you see these guys. Whoa, this is narrow. Nice bridge, it's not wobbling at all. This is what they meant when they said some mild off-road sections. Whoa, rider down. You alright? Stay on the darker trail and it's a little smoother. Uh-oh, I think Jerry took a spill. You okay, Jerry? You'll be alright. Grant, don't splash the kids. What is this guy doing trying to drive a car on this road? This was slick. Wow, from mud to dust in a minute. What a buffalo. Don't think, just go. Eyes up, eyes up. Oh my goodness, that's insane. Look around, boys. This is what we came for. Riding in the clouds. Fantastic. Hello. The narrow bridge. I don't want to do this. Oh, that's low, duck. This rain actually feels kind of good after 90 degree days. Four in a row. Rain's starting to come harder. Use the balancing act here. Oh man, this is going to be slick. It's like a minute after that one, boys. When are we going to get to the hotel? I'm soaked. Wow, water coming off this side of this cliff. Whoa. Help. Can't see. Love those rice fields. Watch out for the chicken. Got it. Mark, tell me you got that on camera. This tree makes a great place for a mall. Yeah, I'm a little taller than that. Back in the city, this is nuts. Oh, don't stop on me. I guess passing on the right's a good idea if the guy in front of you doesn't stop. Good grief. What's up? Hanoi traffic. Man, I didn't miss this for the last 500 miles. Too many merging. What a long, strange trip, boys. Long great trip.
