So I knew before I came to Saigon that I wanted to ride a motorbike. And I also knew that it's super scary riding motorbikes here. Or even just bicycles. Or even just being on the road at all. But I have decided that it's time - and I am going to get a bike and ride it.
I have found a place that will rent me a SYM Attila for 1.2 million dong per month. Apparently it will be a red one - so something like this:
And I have found a guy who can help me to get a real drivers license. So watch this space for updates!
Too scary for me, stay safe on the roads.

1.2 million VND for an Attila. It better be a brand new smacking Attila Victoria. It may be better just to buy a used Attila and sell before you leave.
ReplyDeleteI bought my motorbikes in the past.
Stay safe, get a good helmet.
Really? I thought that was a good rate (someone else quoted me 1.5 million). Hm. Maybe I should shop around a bit more. I don't really want to buy one until I've got a bit more experience of bikes in general and a better feel for what I want.
ReplyDeleteGood helmet - yes.
Anyway - nothing will happen until I can find my NZ drivers license which has gone walkabout (driveabout?).
