Officially, not without a Vietnamese license. An international licence is not acceptable as a substitute. The police generally turn a blind eye to foreigners, but not always!

No because grazing cattle can knock bikes over with expensive results. Motorbike parking is planned for the future but in the meantime bikes can be left in the main carpark free of charge.

The short answer is no! 80% of the 20,000 or so serious traffic accidents per year in Vietnam are caused by, or involve, motorcyclists. Roads are bad, and regulations are often ignored.

A cyclo is a three-wheeled, bucket-seat rickshaw where the passenger sits in front facing the traffic - a somewhat scary experience to begin with! Although the government is trying to phase cyclos out in city centres, for the moment they're still widely available and offer the best means of transport for a short journey. The price depends on how fancy the rickshaw is (those waiting outside posh hotels will obviously charge more) and how good you are at bargaining.

Each lesson is 3-4 hours of instruction with 1 hour riding time. The lessons are divided between two thirty-minute sessions. Your session starts when you put on your wakeboard and jump into the water. The 5 to 10 minutes traveling to nice water does not count as your lesson time.

Be good to your bike and your bike will be good to you. Don't leave it outside for long periods in the winter if you can help it and if you put it in hibernation, drop in once in a while to make sure everything is still running. Some basic motorcycle maintenance -checking the oil, the brake cables and tyres - will help avoid accidents and ensure that your ride lasts longer.

Yes! All our registrations can be assigned to motorbikes but remember that you can never make your vehicle appear younger than it is.

Security is a big issue for bikers -- but never fear, there is a whole industry offering all kinds of locks and tracking devices to help make your ride less popular with the criminal fraternity. If you'd rather not find out how well tracking systems and ID markings work, then a decent lock and a secure garage are your best bets.

There are lots of bike hire centres on the islands for the most part hiring out mopeds. To hire one of these you will need a normal driving licence. Anything bigger, you will need to show a proper motorcycle licence. Having seen the results of a few moped accidents, and experienced a few minor injuries of my own, I would have to recommend that if you have no experience of riding a motorcycle, that you don't hire one. Just because you are holiday, doesn't mean you are immune to accidents.

No, not at present, but if you have any questions concerning advanced riding techniques, Dave would be glad to hear from you.

There are lots of things to see and do at the Walt Disney World® Resort. Some of these attractions have ride restrictions to ensure safety. For example, height requirements. For specific restriction information, check out the pages dedicated to the attractions in which you're interested.

The answer is usually NO. Despite all the modern technology used in today's blimps they are cost effective only for advertising purposes. In relatively small blimps, passenger transportation is not profitable enough unless it is combined with an advertising mission. In the past, the small number of blimp rides which is available has been given to executives and clients of the advertisers/sponsors of the blimps. Blimp rides were available in Las Vegas for ten months in 2000 (see www.vegas.

Yes. Most of the Arboretum paths are ideal for bikers of all ages and connect to Tuckahoe State Park's trail system.

No horses are permitted in the Arboretum, but there is an Equestrian Center within Tuckahoe State Park. Horses are permitted on some paths in Tuckahoe State Park.

The ride is 150 miles. Through three states starting in Brattleboro Vermont, a small part of New Hampshire into Massachusetts

Although you can configure the navigation profile to bike or man, this product is only designed to be used inside a vehicle. It is not protected against water/dust for outside use.

Yes, a REVS check can be done on a motorbike by providing the VIN/chassis number, engine number and registration number (if registered). Ring REVS and purchase a REVS certificate for protection against repossession of the vehicle/boat due to financial interests that have not been registered with REVS. Make out two (2) separate cheques - one payable to the financier for the total payout figure and the other to the seller for the balance.

It's the way I've always travelled, and for me absolutely the best way to see, and really experience a country.

For short trips the most common and inexpensive transportation is by jeepney or by habal-habal (that is an extended motor bike). Siargao Island is huge about 452 spkm. The only paved road is from Dapa to General Luna about 16 km and there is a short section paved from the airport to Dapa. For touring the island you can rent a Patrick’s van for as little as P1500 or US$30 per day. Travelling around Siargao is safe and lots of friendly people wherever you go.

Of course, passengers have the option to be a bike or support vehicle passenger. Many non-bike passengers and partners choose our tours as we cater for their needs as well.

Yes, because from San Giovanni it's possible to visit many small surrounding villages during your stay. Apart from the historic centre where traffic is restricted parking is not difficult.

present we do not have any motorbike training courses, but we can put you on to an instructor who does.

Sorry - no. Don't think for one second we've got something against bikers - it's just that the framework and legalities for this particular event mean that there ain't no bikes allowed. Motorcycles with sidecar or trikes are allowed, provided there are two people in the team and the driving is shared.

Yes with a retirement visa, you just need to go to the imirgration and prove your address and id they give you a slip of paper for you to give to the people you are buying the car/ bike from.
