Ok, so Mrs SB and I are off to Vietnam in a few days time to ride the venerable (and mightily underpowered) Honda CB125E's.



Members may remember our last saga just on 12 months ago..........

Who could ever forget the competition for the most, actually least desirable time-piece in the whole wide world.

Well this time it's going to be bigger than Ben Hur. We will be holding the (very) odd competition for strange Vietnamese artefacts and postcards to be sent to deserving members all over the world.

However to start with we need to come up with a name for the travel thread to be posted in CBR1000F Road Trips section.

Demon came up with something along the lines of........'Follow the Ho Chi Minh trail'

So what's your take on it.

Come up with a good title and we will use it for the travel reports!

Cheers, SB

Well, this is a fine kettle of fishsauce!

Please tell me that a pair of those delicious boots will be one of the major prizes.

How about "Return of 6 RAR, This time it's all about fun"?

 

I've always wanted a pair of blunnies, but some Tet style Moon Boots will do me quite well, thank you. size 12 U.S.

6 RAR? A reference to participation in the war I take it?

 

The boys are on a ROLL - well done TK!

But it was another ANZAC collaboration. More than once the Aussie grunts were very, very grateful to the NZ artillery for their vigilance and accuracy.

"New Zealand forces fought in Vietnam between 1965 and 1972, with the majority involved (after mid-1966) in artillery offensives, cordon and search patrols, intelligence gathering and reconnaissance missions around Phuoc Tuy province. New Zealand gunners were one of three field artillery batteries comprising part of the 1st Australian Task Force (1ATF). Kiwi infantrymen made up two of the 6RAR/Anzac Battalion’s 13 company-sized units. A 26-man New Zealand Special Air Service (NZSAS) troop completed the Australian SAS squadron at Nui Dat. "

Wiki'd it.

Quite impressive

 

What really attracted me to 6 RAR was, "motorized Light Infantry". Perfect.
