This trip will be different from previous... I'm going to Cambodia by flight to pick up a bike and rendezvous with Vietnam group at Sihanouk Ville then back to Malaysia.
Day 1 13th Feb 2013 Phnom Penh -Kampot-Sihanouk Ville
Arrive in Phnom Penh from Kuala Lumpur around 0900hr by AIRASIA... On board in a flight with a full riding suit is awesome.. And was the longest 2hr flight for me.
After having breakfast at a Muslim restaurant in Phnom Penh... We lift up the bike at Holiday Villa Phnom Penh.. In just 30min we are on the Cambodian road riding south on secondary road 3 to Kampot and Sihanouk Ville. A dream come true for any bikers.. As last night at home-bed and this morning riding on Cambodia road....

| Kawasaki GTR1400 and Kawasaki Versys 650 |
Road condition from Phnom Penh was acceptable, but very dangerous to those who are not familial left side driving and Cambodia style traffic, dominated by big V8 landcruiser.... As incoming car, heavy vehicle going to overtake they just ignore us on two wheels and we have to give way to them... As we out of Phnom Penh the road became very dusty, some have very deep pothole and loose gravel.... Have to take extra caution when negotiating this road as I'm not on my trusties Yamaha SuperTenere...
