Dam it i just wrote a blog but it didnt Publish and iv lost it.... To make a long day short our bikes had some minor mainatance done in the morning and we picked them up at 12. got our wireless head sets connected and hit the road it was so good having two pairs of eyes on the road it usefull when ur surrounded by 30 moroebikes and you have the random bus plowing threw the traffic. 30 min in to the ride the heavens irrupted and it rained with in seconds everyone had ponchos on except for us, we got drenched... it was a nice change from the 33 degree heat. the rain stopped and 30 mins later all my clothes were dry. but there was one small problem after the rain my Unicorn got water in her spark plug... quite simply she lost her Spark... but do not fear there is nothing sticky tape cant fix and in no time she got her spark back and we were off. we headed out to the outer suburbs of Hanoi and it was so much nicer, still as many bike on the road but at least there was a road in the city the roads are filled with vendors and parked motorbikes so a four lane rd becomes a one lane foot path... we had a chat with some locals about where we want to go and got some really good feed back. so tomorro we first have to pick up my unicorn i get some electrical problems fixed and by 10am we sould be out of Hanoi heading East to Halong Bay hopefully we can get our bikes on a ferry and ride threw some islands and see some caves and spen the night on a island before heading into Halong Bay City for the ther night and then on towards the Chinese Border.
Tomorro will be the Unicorns First test 4.5 Hour ride to Halong Bay thats if we dont get lost... and we have been making quite a habit of getting lost....
