Keeping Seldom Used Motorbike Functional? by mtgmike
I haven't been using my motorbike as much lately and the battery has been dying. I think the last time I started it was about 5 weeks ago, today I can't even kick-start it. How often and how long with each ride do you suppose you'd ...

Customs delays ? by GuestPoster288
Anyone experiencing longer than usual delays getting items cleared through the customs sheds ? I have imported some motorcycle parts from the USA and they have been stuck in customs for 10 days, double the time it usually takes.
That must have been a worry. For the most part over the years I have only had the odd problem and thankfully have never lost an item although they have occasionally arrived damaged. The parts I tend to ship are extremely rare and the particular ... Read More

My suggestion, marry someone with a boat who lives on the river. If you don't want to do that, stick to a motorcycle. Vietnam, at the present time, is not pleasure boat friendly. Have you noticed that in a city of 14 million, there are ... Read More
