This adventure was more than a motorbike trip, of our group of 12, 5 rode the Urals with 2 full time pillions, the balance of wives/partners and friends traveled in the Jeep or air conditioned 4 wheel drive with a transit van carrying our luggage. At any time any of the other travelers could jump on the back of a bike. Thanks must go to Digby for arranging our trip with consideration to non bike riders. The amazing Thuy, words cannot describe adequately what she did for our group, organizing our trip to Ha Long Bay, Cyclo ride to the restaurant for our final included dinner and the Vespa tour on our final day, thank you Thuy. Our guide Long provided new highlights every day taking us off the main tracks through Hmong villages for brilliant scenery. The home-stays were so much fun drinking the local brew with the owner and his family. Our English guide Hawk provided us with great knowledge and friendship on our journey, thanks Hawk. A big thanks must go to Long the mechanic for keeping us on the road and our 3 Vietnamese drivers who provided us with some great moments. The 14 day northern border crawl provided us with some of the best scenery on the planet and lifetime memories, I cannot recommend using this company enough, Outstanding.
