Dr John...thanks for message. Have been in Hanoi for couple of years and have got contact in order to get membership of 'big bike club' so will have to sort that if I ever find a bike. Not a huge amount on offer unless you have wads of cash or party official, so hence the downscale plans for CB400 SF. Can find ones in varying conditions for btw $3000-$4000, but looking at about $3000 and then do little work on it. Saigon might be an issue as I would really like to look at the bike personally before shelling out the cash, but if I get really stuck I will contact you beforehand or your contact. Would love to buy bike in Thailand or Laos and ride it over, but tax is a killer, still 100% import. The hunt continues. Cheers Adam
