PostPosted: 20:02 - 16 Feb 2017    Post subject: Europe or Vietnam? Reply with quote

Looking for some advice re. my next holiday. Recently split with my now ex girlfriend, and have a week or twos holiday available in late March / April, so looking to get away.

Now I've decided I want to go away on my bike again, I went to France / Italy / Switzerland last year on the bike with the ex, did all of that in 7 days, but it was too much riding really & I didn't enjoy the riding greatly, as the 47hp I have at my disposal was bogged down with passenger & panniers full of camping gear on motorways & the twisties in the alps.

I have 2 options:

1) Take my BMW f650GS to Europe again and enjoy a couple of weeks exploring, open to suggestions!

OR

2) Get on a plane to Vietnam, get there find a moped / small bike and explore for a couple of weeks.

What would you do in my position? I've done a lot of France in the car and on the bike and fancy something a bit more 'adventury' but I'm restricted with MAX 2 weeks off....

Relevant deets; Looking to spend a max of £1500-£2000, I'm 21 will be going alone.

Whats your thoughts BCF?

Which country is it that blowjobs are illegal?

Don't go there.

If you go to Thailand or Vietnam then you will probably sleep with a ladyboy. I'm pretty sure it doesn't count as long as they don't have a bigger chap than you.

Speaking of which i had a recurring argument with my mates the other day. If you had the choice between say, Jennifer Aniston (in her prime) BUT she had a liiiiittle winky, or Hulk Hogan with a vag, which one would you choose? All my mates swear blind that they'd go for Hogan with a snatch. Now i don't like sausage any more than the next chap, but i think I'd go for old pointy nips with a cocktail sausage.

Maybe this is why i shouldn't go to Thailand.

Also there's next to no fanny in the Alps.

They even put big bells on the cows to discourage any Welsh behaviour.

Is it though?

Is fucking Hulk Hogan not gay?

I mean Jennifer Aniston was bang tidy. Hogan though, even with a vag, you'd have to look at that face when you nut, but that's not gay? I think that's full blown homo.

so the consensus is Vietnam, but don't shag Hulk Hogan, but do shag a lady boy?

??? = Profit

Anyone ever done a trip like this on their own? Need to make the decision soon, will probably be booking flights this weekend....

you're young, single and with a bit of cash for a decent holiday. Go to Vietnam.

As much as we all love touring and exploration on motorbikes here, you've got plenty of time for that. Don't go back to the alps so that you can post it on Facebook and say "I'm here but without you and my rear shock is happier". Go to Vietnam and do 21-year-old things. So to speak.

Agreed. On the condition that you provide a fully detailed report on your shenanigans for the rest of us poor sods who are most likely manacled to a life of marital drudgery.

Ladyboys are still people. Tut Tut

Also, WTF is a 21 year old doing on a Nazi Tractor? His missus probably chucked him for FazerGuard.

All foreign travel narrows the mind, but the sweaty parts of South East Asia will make you long for an honest British sausage the fastest, so go Vietnam, and count your blessings when you get back.

Vietnam is wicked, I have fond memories of ragging a little Chinese step-thru around Saigon after a few too many 30p beers some years back

Go to Vietnam Thumbs Up
