I put air horns on my Versys. Perhaps I should have gone the whole hog and put on one of these big hooters - so to speak.

It's hardy use, is't it?
In Vietnam, actually the rule does not allow such big air horn, unless you have the official permission...

Hello.

Very nice report. One question:

I am currently planning to ship my F650GS to Hanoi on Dec 1st, to travel to Ho Chi Min and then Cambodia, Thailand etc.

I heard it could be problematic to enter Vietnam with a motorcycle. How did you do it and what was the total costs for this (including fees, commissions, taxes, bribes etc)

Thanks

We got ourselves a fixer back then. It's totally legal but comes with a price. For that 12 days of motorcycling in Vietnam, it costs us USD$600 per person with everything included except for fuel and meals.
