Bikers tour Vietnam to help charity
Published: 09/04/2013 02:52
Eighteen riders from Australia, England, New Zealand and the US have taken off on the third edition of Rally Indochina, an exclusive group of committed bikers riding for charity purposes.
The rally which started in Hanoi on April 8, headed south, following the famed Ho Chi Minh Trail as far as UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hoi An. Rally drivers exclusively use a fleet of fully restored Soviet-era 650cc Ural motorcycles. The bikes, all belonging to Hanoi-based Explore Indochina, form the largest fleet of restored vintage Urals in the world. Joining the first day of the rally was international TV star and celebrity biker Charley Boorman, who became a household name when he and best mate Ewan McGregor rode around the world. This time, Boorman has saddled up for his new TV series entitled Freedom Riders Asia. “I’m having a brilliant time shooting Freedom Riders Asia across the region and having the opportunity to be involved with Rally Indochina, even in a small way,” said Boorman. “The funds raised by the previous rallies are being used to rescue trafficked children and to provide essential relief to their families and communities. The third rally will help meet the goal of ending child trafficking from Hue city by 2016,” said Blue Dragon founder, Michael Brosowski. The rally is the brainchild of Digby Greenhalgh, an Australian who has spent the last 20 years living in Hanoi. He founded Explore Indochina, the region’s premier motorcycle tour operator. VOV |
