yeah we brought property there,the sea container became my workshop/garage which we dropped in with a crane and when we finished the renovation of the property we put it on the market and used it again to ship our valuable household goods and my trike back to Australia, I then sold that brought a 20footer and repeated the process in Vietnam

yeah I’m of the same belief, I think the only hang up I may encounter would be bureaucratic …was similar in Vietnam and Phillipines, had to grease the right wheel if ya catch my drift…money talks and all that crap😆 the bike has vin numbers, engine numbers etc etc…

that’s why I ride a trike, I have servere permanent back injury, so I’m covered for that side of things,it’s really just the import and registration process I’m unsure of as every country is different,

it really depends on how angry you ride it😆😆😆, but yes it is a little louder than a conventional 4 stroke engine as it only has a single muffler , unlike a 4 stroke which has 2, I actually quitened it down by fitting a longer muffler to help it comply with epa noise restrictions as part of registration in Philippines.

like I said I can’t see a drama. This bike was registered in Philippines once before and again in Vietnam, pretty sure there’s some sort of process otherwise trips like Ewan McGregor’s long way round etc and others like it wouldn’t have been possible…

Yeah my reasoning for bringing it is because I have an injury, and a trike is easier for me to get around with as opposed a conventional bike,
