Preparing for a cross country motorcycle trip takes a lot of time and effort to prepare. However, It’s an experience that you’ll be so glad that you experienced, especially if it’s on your bucket list.
1. What NOT to Bring on a Vietnam Motorbike Tour
1.1 ???? DON’T PACK Headphones:
For the most part, it’s best to avoid having music or other audio recordings going when you’re on a bike ride. You’ll make sure that you’re fully aware and alert of your surroundings and listen for any danger so you can be safe on the road
1.2 ???? DON’T TAKE Suitcase:
The key to a successful motorcycle trip is to pack light. A duffel bag or backpack should do the trick. You’ll be riding most of the time, so you won’t have any need for a large suitcase because you won’t need much. You’ll also want to pack light if you’re planning to stop along the way and need to bring your belongings with you on any detours.
1.3 ???? DON’T BRING Flip Flops:
Always wear closed-toed shoes on your motorcycle trip. This is a safety precaution to make sure that if you’re in an accident, your body is covered as much as possible to avoid injury.
2. What NOT to wear on a Vietnam Motorbike Tour
2.1. ???? Formal attire
You’ll have no need for fancy shoes or clothes. You’ll be roughing it, for the most part, so you’ll want to make sure that you’re dressing comfortably while you’re on the road.
2.2. ???? Head-to-toe dark clothing
Because you’ll be on the road with cars, you’ll want to make it as easy as possible for them to see you, especially in the early morning and in the evening. Dark clothing will make it difficult for drivers to identify, so it’s best to have too many dark colors in the same outfit.
2.3. ???? Half Helmets
Your health and safety should come first, so always bring along a helmet that covers your entire head for full protection.
2.4. ???? Loose Clothing
To avoid getting your clothing caught on parts of your motorcycle, it’s best to avoid wearing flowy or extra loose clothing that would get stuck.
2.5. ???? Tank Tops
As mentioned before it’s essential to keep your body covered when you’re out on the road. So, it’s best to avoid tank tops and even short sleeve shorts when possible.
