As you all know, I am fascinated with the motorbike culture in Vietnam. I’ve taken many hours watching traffic in complete amazement.  I have tried to capture this remarkable phenomenon in photos and video, but I struggle to do it justice. However, I recently came across the book Bikes of Burden by Hans Kemp. 

It’s simply a photobook, but it does an excellent job of capturing what motorbike culture is like. These pictures depict what I see every day here. Hans had to log hours on a motorbike to get these amazing shots… his poor lungs!

This article is part of the Motorbike Diaries

I’ve decided that since conquering my fear of driving in Ho Chi Minh City seems to be something I think about 24/7, I might as well write about it.   The Motorbike Diaries will chronicle my epic journey to becoming a part of Vietnamese culture and driving among them….the locals, that is.

Keep following along to see what happens…even I don’t know how this adventure will end! As a side note – at least I do have medical insurance!

A book on motorbike culture

If you are looking for a book for a Vietnam enthusiast or a motorbike enthusiast, check out Bikes of Burden” by Hans Kemp!  It’s great coffee table conversation!

Who needs a trunk and four wheels – it’s overrated!

I’m on the road and my motorbike is parked in my living room, having a vacation! I thought I would post this, though, since it pertains to motorbikes and Vietnam. Stay tuned for more Motorbike Diaries and travel posts when I return from trekking in the Philippines!

Get your own Vietnam Motorbike License and get out on the streets!
