We're in Vietnam now after spending a month and "heaps of cash" to get customs clearance to bring our bikes into the country.
We're working with a charity (SOS Children's Villages) and were it not for this we wouldn't have had a chance, but the people who helped us get our papers believe they can do it again. We have been given Vietnamese license plates and so far(Haiphong to Da Lat) haven't had a sniff from the plod.
Basically you need a sponsor in Vietnam, a "non-government organisation" and authorisation from the top. We got approval from the vice-primeminister!
We're on the road now, but when i get chance to properly discuss the situation regarding other foreigners with our helpers i'll post the results on the HUBB.
So it is possible, but will not be "cheap".
Vietnam is a mad place to ride a (big) motorbike though.......
