This series is confirmation that the best things in life often come about unexpectedly. Who would have thought that you would have “stumbled” across this absolute gem on your way home from the Himalayas? Joe, I have to say this is the most enjoyable moto travel series I have ever seen. Full stop.
Thanks Bruce, as always it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. Vietnam is definitely an amazing place to ride and explore, a lot different than the Himalayas but still incredible.
It is indeed. 😍
Traveling on a motorbike like this is therapeutic. It's meditation. It's poetry in motion. And you are one profound storyteller, healer, poet, explorer. Loved this episode Joe. Great work as always. Cheers.
Thanks mate, it is definitely therapeutic and meditative. It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, as always thanks for watching
Just love your style, Joe. Keep the videos coming, please.
Thanks Peter, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series, thanks for watching.
The damage from the storm is massive but the people seem to just smile and carry on great vid mate looking forward to the next Mango
Yes they are a hardy bunch. Thanks for watching.
I never wanted to visit Vietnam. I never wanted to visit Vietnam on a motorcycle. Until now. Simply. Beautiful. Journey. Thank you
It is a great place to explore on a motorcycle. If you get a chance definitely at least work exploring Vietnam. Thanks for watching.
If you are not an open-minded person , don't visit Vietnam . Stay in your comfort zone .
Another great episode. The devastation of the typhoon is largely overlooked by the media, but you highlight it well. Safe travels mate and looking forward to the rest of this trip.
Thanks Phill, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Hopefully it not too long before they can get back on there feet.
16:02 that sign says: our family needs help. Anyway, great videos and great adventures. I always love seeing my country through foreigners’ perspective. Where you have been so far is also where I have been and seeing it brings back so many treasured memories. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the information, yes it looked like they would need help the land slide took out the side of the house.
You have a beautiful country and it is amazing to explore, thanks for watching.
It just proves the resilience of these people,by western standards they are poor.
But I think they could teach us what it means to be humble,after such destructive.
How beautiful are the children,smiling like there is no tomorrow.
Always a joy to watch,Thank You ✨
Yes definitely resilient and the friendliest warmest people and yes they are full of joy. As always thanks for watching Geoff.
Easily my favorite series on right now! Beautiful country and video work.
it's great to hear you are enjoying the series, thanks for watching.
The typhoon bit shows that traveling around and getting to know the world and connecting with people has its sad moments too.
Yes there was quite a lot of devastation but the Vietnamese are resilient people, hopefully they'll be able to bounce back.
WOW! Vietnam is SO beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Ride safe.
Vietnam is amazingly beautiful, thanks for watching
Great video. Good to watch from my hospital bed. You have to admire the tenacity of the people. Be another month off from riding or driving for me.
As always thank you for the continued support. Yes the Vietnamese are resilient. I hope you recover quickly

Thanks mate, you'll have an epic time here, it's an amazing place to ride and explore, the people are amazing too.
4:47 thanks for showing your stall out! It makes me feel better as a new rider to see the pros do it! 😅
Oh yep I screw it up all the time, if you watch in other series I also drop the bike, it's all part of the fun.
Hey Joe the videos are just getting better and better, good Friday entertainment.

Another great recap of your ongoing adventures - hooked!- Loved riding there, thanks for bringing back good memories
it's great to hear you enjoyed another episode, as always thanks for watching.
Hi Joe thanks for another wonderful video I can’t wait to get over to Vietnam , I have a friend that has been living in Vietnam for 15 years and he absolutely loves it hardly ever comes back to Australia only when he has too , keep up the good work Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia I’m on the big island
as always it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, yes I could see why your friend likes it so much.
Joe, another amazing episode. I’m glad you’re making everyone aware of the devastation from the typhoon. As beautiful as some of the scenery is, it really hits home when you show the aftermath of the storm. I just can’t imagine what it would be like, hoping the best for the locals as they rebuild. Looking forward to the next episode.
Thanks Marko, yes there was a lot of devastation, but the Vietnamese people seem to be a very resilient bunch, I to hope that can rebuild and get back to normal life quickly. As always thanks for watching.
Joe another great episode
Those concrete tracks and roads but then the dirt left over from the landslides unbelievable
I would have hate to seen that water at full rage seeing how high it was that would have been scary
Thanks for the ride
Dave
Thanks Dave, yes it would have been a terrifying thing to experience.
As always thanks for watching.
Another awesome episode. You're talented mate.
Cheers, Jim, UK🤙
Thanks Jim, it's great to hear you enjoyed another episode. As always thanks for watching.
It was great that the dog escorted you across the bridge, stopping to let you catch up. Of course, he was in 4 foot drive and had already downshifted to a lower gear. Lol. Amazing how the people have gone through such storms and prior war time experiences and still one can see smiles and hope on their faces. Thanks for the videos. Hopeing there is some good in 2025 for these people. 👍👍
haha yes, 4 foot drive and way better across the train that me, he probably put his paw over his eyes in embarrassing when I stilled it.
Yes the Vietnamese are incredible people resilient but also warm friendly and helpful.
Thanks for watching.
Another amazing ride …..with incredible views! The smiles on those 2 little girls faces at the end…WOW! Thanks for taking us along ! 😎🌈🏍️
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed it, tanks for watching.
The side trails you find and ride are amazing
I do get some dud ones, but it is worth it as I do find the occasional magic side track. As always thanks for watching David
Oh Vietnam 🇻🇳 is so beautiful!
it definitely is, so beautiful
Great video Joe, thanks again for sharing and I am loving the content.
Thanks Shayne, always great to hear you enjoy the episode.
Vietnam look very nice.
It is an amazing place to ride and explore, thanks for watching.
Thanks Joe, for letting me ride along on those winding roads! Through fields, villages and towns I will probably never visit myself.
You are welcome mate, it's great to have you along and great to hear you enjoyed the episode, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Joe your work is fantastic. Amazing sceneries and amazing journey. I love your traveling.
Thanks Ben, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series. Thanks for watching
The landscape is amazing and the Vietnamese people are certainly resilient living so close to the water. Loving your travels Joe.
yes it is an amazing place and the people are incredible, Thanks for watching.
I am really enjoying your travels. Thanks for sharing these spectacular views aboard your Royal Enfield!
It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series, thanks for watching.
Beautiful. Thanks for taking me there.
You are welcome Ralf, the country is absolutely stunning.
Another superb film . The more I watch the more I need to go there if I’m not already too old… thanks Joe - now my go to happiness channel in wintery old Blighty!
I am sure once they clean all the roads up, it will be a very easy ride so I don't think you'd ever be too old if you can still ride a bike. As always thanks for watching Ian.
Joe you're the perfect ambassador to wandering with a camera and motorcycle.
Thanks Craig, It is amazing to do so, there are so many places and things to explore. As always thanks for watching.
Joe, what an insight to the devastation there. You gotta feel for the one's affected.
I really enjoy when "I must have missed a turn." What you show with those missed turns are a true adventure. Incredible scenery too! 👏😊
Yes the place really did get hit hard. Another path another adventure.
Counting the days until the next episode drops. These videos seem to speak to the core of what riding is: Freedom. I hope one day I can follow your tracks and do something like this myself!
It's great to hear you are enjoying the series Mack. If you ever get the chance definitely get out there. Thanks for watching.
Hey Joe I came across your channel and have been watching your viet nam series. Your videography is super impressive, you're a great narrator and a great photographer, but mostly your positive attitude shines through no matter what the land throws at you. You're definitely a new role model for me. Keep up the good work!
It is great to hear you are enjoying the series. It not hard to keep a positive attitude being around the Vietnamese people, they are always happy, welcoming and friendly. Thank you for watching.
This has to be one one my favorite series I’ve ever seen.
It's awesome to hear you are enjoying the series Summit, thanks for watching.
What a gorgeous countryside. Love the green pastures and the rolling mountains. Keep these coming Joe! Love them
Happy New Year mate!
It is definitely a gorgeous country, so lush. it's great to hear you enjoying the series.
The QL279 highway which you were on stretches from West to East and is named after Feb 1979 when the Chinese invaded Northern Vietnam.
That is an interesting bit of information. Thanks for sharing.
Love your video. They were still working on the mud road in December. And I also loved An's House where you stayed. Stayed there last year. The fire on the first floor really comes in handy when it's cold.
Thanks Steven, wow, it did look like a lot of work to remove all of it.Yes An's place was great so help and friendly. Ahh now the fire place makes sense. Thanks for watching.
One thing there’s never a shortage of in Vietnam. Food on the table 😊 loved riding that place
You have that right and man is it good. Thanks for watching.
Another great episode in a beautiful country,Thanks Joe
thanks John, as always it's great to know you enjoyed it. It is a stunningly beautiful country.
Amazing video
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Been watching reviews on the new Himi 450 as I am considering buying one and I stumbled across your channel. I love your videos, they are so laid back and you seem to ride your bikes that way too. I really enjoy the "I kinda sorta have a plan but we'll see where the bike takes us". SE Asia motorcycle tour in the planning because of these vids. Keep it up!
Thanks mate, it is great to hear you are enjoying the series. SE Asia is an awesome place to go exploring. Thanks for watching.
What amazing place and scenery, I have seen places like that in the Philippines many years ago.
Definitely amazing. The Philippines would be a great place to explore. Thanks for watching.
Merci pour ces images et vos commentaires qui décrivent la beauté mais aussi l'ampleur de la désolation suite au typhon j'ai hâte de voir la suite ✌️✌️😉
De rien, c'est super d'entendre que vous avez apprécié cet épisode. Le typhon a fait beaucoup de dégâts, j'espère qu'ils se rétabliront rapidement. Merci d'avoir regardé
Great I am waiting for your next journeys in our country, greetings from Vietnam
It's great to hear you are enjoying the series, thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing your travels with us brother! Those valves sound a little loose tho😉
You're welcome, thanks for coming along on the ride. Yes the bike had 26,000km on it when I got it (it was very last minute organising) and it needed a service, but it did the 7000km with no issue and was serviced afterwards.
Cant wait for next video 🙌
It's great to hear you are enjoying the series.
Another great episode. Thanks for taking me to places that I will never get to.
it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching
Hello Joe, wow incredible terrain to say the least, you just left a place that was incredible to another part of the world, so much to explore in this world and what a great place your in now, these people seem to be a simple people and just ever so grateful to be alive unlike the country in which I live where more is never enough, Joe my brother was in some parts of Nam while doing a tour in the war, when u get to some of those places if you could reference them that would be great, these people seem trails that u continually come upon are so interesting, you just never know just where they will lead, anyway as always my friend a spectacular journey you are on, thanks for taking us along, be safe out there, Rob in U.S.
It is an amazing part of the world to explore that is for sure. the one thing that does stand out here are the people, they are really friendly warm and kind.
Later in the series I do go through the DMZ, and check out some of the left overs from that period of time.
Thanks for sharing this amazing country with us, Joe. The bucket list keeps getting longer
it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, yes there are so many places to explore.
Buddy what an Amazing tour full of Beautiful locations in Villages of Vietnam.I suggest you to add time and date on the spot at which you had a break for little bit seeing of the location,Lunch and Dinner time,climate etc for making the viewers more about Vietnam
It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, I filmed this in October so I can not remember any of those details only the details that appear in each episode.
Brilliant tour and thanks for replying @@freewayproject
Quality of these videos are getting better and better everytime. Thank you joe !!
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you are enjoying the series.
This journey will take us through greenery.
And a struggle with muddy roads!
I hope the town's recovery progresses.
Yes it is so green and yes there was a lot of devastation from the Typhoon, the Vietnamese are a resilient people, I am sure they will bounce back.
Thanks for watching.
You would certainly need to concentrate riding those roads! Amazing place. Thanks,
Yes there is always something to look out of or navigate around and the amazing scenery is distracting too
As always thanks for watching
Oh my Joe...
The seasons come and they go
But I hope you know
That I, I won't stop watching your adventures!

Thanks Felix, it great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
Its amazing and you are such a champ for riding in the heat in those boots.
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
Hey Joe. Great episode. Well to be honest, any bridge you’ve ridden across makes it a good episode. Take care, Annie 🐧
Thanks Annie, there are still lots of bridges to come haha. As always thanks for watching.
another outstanding job, thanks for taking us along
It's always great to hear you enjoyed the episode, thanks for watching.
every time those trucks came at you on them skinny roads I leaned away in me chair some... lol
haha, I think these action cameras make it look closer than it is. But yes you have to keep very alert on these roads. Thanks for watching
sigh.....another amazing travel day.........I cant wait!
It seem Vietnam is full of amazing travel days every day. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Joe, very picturesque, great content..
It is a lot different to the high plateau of Himalayas, so green, everything is so much tighter.
nice part of the world
finger on that clutch mate
It is an amazing country to ride and explore, thanks for watching.
Did this 15 years ago. Still the most memorable thing I've ever done. Going back in three days.
Oh wow Stephen it would be interesting to see how much has changed in that time.
Awsome ride, again. Thanks Joe..
thanks mate, this place is awesome to explore.
Great show again Joe theres so much to see there man , cheers
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode. Yes there is so much to see in Vietnam and so interesting. Thanks for watching
fantastic travel video Joe, thank you
It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode John, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series, tanks for watching.
What can I say? Your journey looks brilliant.
It has been a lot of fun.
So many landslides Joe, more than you saw in the Himalayas on last seasons vids.
Loving your vids, I'm off to Thailand this week, so I'm hoping to find a ride out there to have some little adventures
I have heard Thailand is awesome to explore, I sure you'll find an adventure. Yes the Typhoon has caused havoc here. As always thanks for watching.
항상 잘 보고 있습니다. 안전운전 하십시요~
시리즈를 즐기신다니 기쁩니다. 시청해 주셔서 감사합니다.
Catching up a bit and nice to have 2 episodes. Best wishes for 2025 and safe travels. Thanks for sharing the beauty of Vietnam
Thanks mate, you too. Vietnam is an incredible place to ride and explore.
Joe.. loving these episodes mate. And wow that storm sure did some damage. Those people do it pretty tough. But are so resilient and happy. Photography is awesome mate. Thanks for another great part of your journey... Oh and not sure but sounds like the old scram could do with the valve clearances being abjusted in the near future lol. Great stuff mate.👍🍻
Thanks mate, it's always great to hear you enjoyed the episode. The Vietnamese are tough and amazing people. The bike had 26,000km on it and as it was such a last minute there was no time to get it service before I left. I did 7000km on it with not issue (just the bit of noise) it was service once i had finished and all good.
As always thanks for watching.
No worries Joe... Just goes to show how bullet proof the Enfields are Bud. Thanks again for sharing your experiences and adventures mate👍😉
Brilliant video as per usual. Keep them coming 😊
Thanks Iain, it always great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
You are doing a great job
Thanks mate, it great to hear you are enjoying the series.
@freewayproject yes i am. As you dont talk too much just ride & nature something i enjoy. Keep it up. Wishing you all the best.
Epic as always Joe. :)
thanks mate.
Great series Joe . As usual fantastic camera work
Thanks Mark, as always great know you enjoyed it.
What a great planet.
Totally agree, as always thanks for watching
Amazing!
It's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
@@freewayproject Sure, bro!
I bet I'm not the only one who said,Oops, when you stalled the bike .
haha ,well I definitely I did, I was to distracted looking at this amazing place.
If you're in Saigon 1-19 through 2-2 during Tet, it would be great to hear your story over a pint or three. My VN wife and I visit every year.
HI mate, these episodes can take me a week each to edit so I have already left Vietnam. You are lucky to get to visit there every year, it is an amazing country
@freewayproject I understand. I'm sitting on hours of film with no interest to do that time consuming effort and be creative doing it. But you do a fantastic job!
Another awesome video.
Thanks mate, always great to hear you enjoyed the episode.
Happy New Year Joe, thanks for the amazing footage.
Thanks mate, same to you. thanks for watching
Great adventure roads and landscapes that most of us would never see without you. Iwas in Vietnam thirty years ago, but it was only mass turism travel in Ho Chi Minh City and in Danang China Beach. MyKhe in Vietnames langue i think.?
It's great to hear you are enjoying the series, I gather it must have had big changes after that period of time. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful, I guess that you are going up to Sapa ? When you climb back down, go to Ninhbing before going south and venture into some of the Cham ruins before Hue and DaNang ;-)
Vietnam is a very beautiful country, with diverse climate and scenery that capture imagination and vietnamese people are the nicest people, in trouble they will help you selflessly.
Have a nice trip, and thank you for this great video
Thanks mate, it's great to hear you enjoyed the episode, it is an amazing place to ride and explore and yes the people are amazing. I hope you enjoy the rest of the series.
Hey Joe! Can you make a video on how you manage your work life and traveling and also your family and stuff. Would love to hear your story.
I'll have to see what I can do in the future.
@freewayproject great! We'll wait for that video!
Wow! The devastation is unbelievable! A pity this would happen in a place so beautiful. ☹
Yes it got hit pretty hard, I am sure they'll bounce back, the Vietnamese are resilient.
Great video, looking forward to visiting Vietnam myself, can you please be more detailed in where you are going? I'm sure there are people that would love to visit places that you show, myself included.
Looking forward to the next instalment.
Thanks mate. It's an awesome place to ride and explore. I'll try to put more maps up, I'm doing it from memory as I don't have anything that can record the journey.
It. Was hilarious when you stalled your bike and start rolling down 😂
And look at your indicator 😂😂
Yes, I should concentrate on riding instead of looking around at everything. It was that steep the tyres wouldn't grip, breaks were fully locked but that didn't stop it sliding haha
you noticed, that was from dropping it the day before through the landslide, don't worry a bit of electrical tape fixed it for the rest of the journey until it was replaced.
Nice ride Joe 😎
Thanks Hein, it is an amazing place to ride and explore, and I have only just started. Thanks for watching.
@ definitely in the next two years (will hit you up for some pointers if OK). This year is already busy with Africa and Himalayas 😎
Good stuff bud
Thanks mate, it's always great to hear you enjoyed it.
Waiting for the next episode 😌
Next episode goes live to day Friday
Ho ba be lake and surrounding areas is incredible
Caves ect.
I do get to ride through there in a future episode. It is an amazing area.
She said " alone in the river sand, just a burden in my hand"😁😁 Soundgarden. For sure 😊😊
Well I am glad she didn't mean she had lost 3 friends or family members, so that's a relief.
