Welcome, Dennis. We are glad you joined us.

Welcome to the forum. We would love to see pics of riding in Vietnam.

SpudRider · 10-27-2013, 11:43 AM

Indeed, if you have time, please do post photographs of your bike and the countryside.

Welcome Dennis!

One of my favorite TV programs was the BBC based show, Top Gear. They once did long tour of Vietnam with a Honda step through 90, some Russian 100cc or so two stroke, and maybe a CZ. Great episode.

Krasi_BG · 10-27-2013, 02:37 PM

Doc, Doc, Doc....

It was Misnk 125, two stroke. And don't ever get it confused with a CZ in front of a Czech guy

Minsk 125 was one of the shitest bikes we had back in the Communist era. It, and Tula were the main contenders for the title "Crappiest bike". And they were both Made in USSR.

Btw, Minsk are still operating and are actually more of a China-bike than anything else these days - http://minsk-moto.com/en/

Sorry for the thread hijack.

FastDoc · 10-27-2013, 03:15 PM

Sorry Brother :-(

I've not had TV fo a long time and only saw the episode once years ago but I loved it. Thaks for the refresher!

FastDoc · 10-27-2013, 03:16 PM

The only Tulas I am familiar with are in my gun safe. A couple of 1930's hex barrel 91-30's, maybe some others...

Weldangrind · 10-27-2013, 04:02 PM

Doc, I think you can get Top Gear (UK) on Netflix. Further to the discussion you and I had about Netflix, it is streaming content that only costs $8.00 per month. Well worth it to watch TV on your terms with no commercials at all.

FastDoc · 10-27-2013, 04:58 PM

Sounds great but I have very minimal internet service at home. That looks like a great program. If I had it I would certainly use it!

Krasi_BG · 10-28-2013, 03:29 AM

Hm, I guess you haven't heard of:

FastDoc · 10-28-2013, 11:46 AM

I have NetZero. Thanks for the lead though.

For me it's just a matter of time management.

I like TV, and if I had it there are several programs I would really enjoy but if I don't have it, I can't watch it. That frees up time to ride, go shooting, screw around with friends, fly, hang out at the airport, go for a hike, bicycle riding, exercise, studying, etc.

This decision works well for me:-)
