Hi
I'm on a two month tour of vietnam and laos. I'm currently in Saigon/HCMC and I'm thinking of buying a bike. I don't want to have to rely on the bus service, I feel quesey at the thought!
I have also read a fair bit on licence requirements (I have and international licence) and some of the tour blogs that people have posted. So with a relaxed atitude i'm partially informed.
However in buying the bike (a honda 125 or 110) does anyone know about the documentation needed from the seller? Any other pratfalls to avoid or advice on the purchase would be welcome. If I was staying in Vietnam I might nopt worry about it. If I cross the border to laos and later on, back again, I want minimise the border problems. Assuming this is even possible with a bike bought in Vietnam!?
So any help and with a bit of luck I may even find someone with a bike to sell. I post in hope!
