Part 5 is also very exciting and appreciate the helpful info here cruise I’ll keep in mind for sure what you discussed here 👍👍👍👍👍👍
It’s good to see you guys making progress on your adventure. I especially like how you are able to pan the camera to show the sights and sounds as you are riding. It’s neat to see the changing scenery. It’s too bad those truck drivers blare their horn as they pass by. I can’t stand that. Also, I hope you find out the cause of your bike’s mystery click. Let us know when you find out! Good luck to you both!
Thuong looks very pro with the bike packing gear and the way she rides! I hope she looks back fondly on the whole tour. I know she found the Vietnamese heat hard in places. Tours are interesting with so many highs and lows. The highs do nearly always make up for it. That was extra hot though, well done both.
Thanks! She really does look like a natural pro on the bike
Wow what a way to explore the wonderful Vietnam . I just returned from my holiday for Saigon , Hoi An and Danang and Hanoi . I’m in love with this country. Especially Danang !!!
Yes, Da Nang is great!
Again a nice tour of the countryside. You comments about the hotel room definitely provide caution as to where you book rooms.
Cruise, I'm glad you're finally following Thuong's lead & inserting some music over your B-roll. 👍 No need to narrate everything. Looking strong on Day 5.
Couldn't pick a worse ear splitting song than that one.
@@GordoGambler baby steps for the channel. I agree it wasn't great but still seemed better than him having to talk throughout the entirety of the video.
Sorry guys, finding copyright free music for UA-cam is not my strongest point 😅
@@TwoWheelCruise I'm still waiting for you both to sing the 1964 hit song, Sukiyaki. LOL
It would be nice if you let her talk half as much as you do in her own country in her own language.. could always caption im English
Incredible trip, this is dream of my life, goodluck guy
If you come to Hanoi, you can service your bike at Chain 6 Bike work (No. 2, Alley 192, Giai Phong Street, Phuong Liet, Thanh Xuan, Ha Noi). It's a very good place, and the staff speaks English.
Thank you!
Wow, the holes in the footpaths in that town @5.30 😃. Thanks for showing us your travels, very interesting!
What an advantage it is to have Thoung. Not only does she know the language and culture, but if it is true that foreigners are always charged more, she saves the two of you money. It looks like she always does the buying.
I strongly suggest the Garmin Varia radar. I always use mine. Ride safely and keep the entertaining videos coming.
Definitely. I can't remember the last time I had to use Vietnamese cash to pay for anything myself 😅
03:11 Oh, she had a bad mood day. I already saw it at the beginning of the video. She struggled to smile, when she said: Let's go!
I didn't sleep well the night before. That makes me feel tired.
Yeah, the hotel from the night before did not help and it was a stressful ride with all the trucks and bad road conditions
@@vietnamtravelguide2537I understand. You worked hard all day and then didn’t get a good nights sleep. But you still got on your bike for another challenging ride. Well done!
A hotel room without any available soap, how perfectly disgusting ! Everything is likely is likely to be contaminated and you are lucky you did not get gastroenteritis or worse. The rubbing alcohol helped , but it is always wiser to carry some small travel toiletries with you.
Loved the unexpected waterfall and the green hills, but you can tell that you are by now pretty tired and looking forwards to the end of the journey. It is great to see too, how well matched you are.
Yeah, it's gross. Usually just "body wash" and no actual soap 😬
Maybe the lizard is for bug control? Anyway, enjoy your stay - but how are you getting home?
The lizards are fine, we get them sometimes in our apartment in Da Nang too
Looks like your front fender is vibrating . It might be hitting the tire. I have had ticking noises before, and it was a twig inside the fender. Have a safe ride back to your home.
Thanks!
Another super day.
Cruise check your fenders
That would be nice, but I wouldn't understand her either
Cruise, Another nice video. Thank you for your insight on the "sleeper" buses. I had concerns about their safety for passengrs when I first heard about them. I bet the drivers are under a lot of pressure to get to the destination and stops on time and drive aggressively to meet those times. Pretty sad to see that burned out bus still on the side of the road. Maybe it was left there as a grim reminder to others to drive carefully. Here in the States, something like that would be moved within hours.
Oh, and you know, I think you are on to something there as far as the rattle/ noise goes. A section of cable housing on that internal -routed bike is maybe slapping against the inside of the downtube or bb shell. Reminds me to never buy an internally routed frame😁
Nice hotel, looks clean.
Definitely a lot better than the last one
Wind mills = wind powered mills 😉 Wind turbines = wind powered generators 🙂
Thanks for the clarification 😅
Check you hub, my trek verve had the hub issue before and it sounds like this
Over here we call that plant "Touch Me Not". :)
Interesting
Interesting
Mimosa pudica
Some of those road look like Michigan.
😂 True
@@TwoWheelCruise When you were back in Michigan, did you get a chance to ride Rails To Trails? If so, what did you think?
Enjoyed u tub have heard a lot about the Ho Chi Minh road and trial.did not realize em thuong had a temper when she got hungry,oh well I know that co linh does!yes my wife wraps the rolls as well many similarities oh we are married to Vietnamese wife’s wait till your father gets all that added attention!
You don't wanna be around her when she's hungry 😅
No obvious sign of crash damage. I’d like to think everyone got off safely before the fire took hold.
It may just be my eyes, but at 13:57, it looks like the seat tube water bottle moved just slightly when the sound happened. Maybe check your bottle cage screws?
Thanks for your suggestion!
Thanks for your suggestion!
Proof you're a great couple?
Double-dipping approved
I wonder about the food, have you gotten sick from the local fruit? The parasites, or bugs/how they are grown...the water?
I never got sick in Da Nang, but I've gotten sick in the countryside before
Fenders? Mine get tweaked when I transport it.
Still has the struts sticking out, so lazy.
Porque você não usa sinalizadores traseiros nas bikes? Pedalar em estradas sempre é bom ser bem visível de longe...Cuidem-se casal. (Deixe ela falar mais...gostamos do jeito meigo dela aqui no Brasil)
We have rear lights, but usually only turn them on if it gets darker out
She has a temper when she’s hungry.
Maybe we'll see a black eye on Cruise on Day 6 of this cycling journey 🫣🙃
That's called being *hangry* . 😉
😂😂😂
ぺとナムはどうですか？
楽しい！面白い！蒸し暑い！
As you said, everytime I try to speak, sometimes happens , even the universe is telling you to shut up !
Well said , I can't stand his annoying American voice, we watch him with the mute on and subtitles
God he can talk the leg off a cast iron pot, God I feel sorry for his wife
😂
@@TwoWheelCruisemost of us like how you narrate your rides. Keep it up.
So, you guys still migrating to the US? If so, welcome to the world of chaos.
Yes
Did you get a Pokémon card in the Oreo biscuit? 😃
haha no. would be cool, but it would get bent

LOL!
I see you're still speaking Japanese!
Yep, it's still our main language
Yep, it's still our main language
you guys should let her speak japanese so the interaction goes more smoothly. Put sub title and see how that works. don't force her to speak english until it inmproves.
We've done that for many years. She's been working hard to try and speak more English in videos lately, but this trip was making us more tired and stressed compared to usual
