A few friends, some small bikes, one long country.

We are a handful of friends riding from Saigon to Hanoi in February 2027. While planning it we kept finding the same thing: the good information is out there, but it is scattered, often years old, and rarely written for someone who has never done anything like this.

So we are building the site we wanted. It is for backpackers, and just as much for people in their fifties, sixties and seventies who have the time, the curiosity and a sensible amount of caution.

How we try to keep it honest

• Every guide and route shows the date it was last checked and lists its sources.
• When we are not sure, or sources disagree, we say so rather than guess.
• We have not ridden the whole route as a group yet. After February we will update everything with what we actually found, and mark what we have seen with our own eyes.
• Places in the directory cannot pay for a good write-up. Featured partners are labelled as partners.

Local businesses

If you run a rental shop, a workshop, a homestay or a noodle stall that riders should know about, we would love to hear from you. Tell us about your place: a basic listing is free.

Say hello

The quickest way to reach us is the notice board. To follow the ride, join the mailing list.

Heads up: riding a motorbike in Vietnam carries real risk. Nothing here is legal, medical or insurance advice. Check the rules that apply to you, ride within your limits, and wear the helmet.
