Well done Rob and friends.
Glad you all enjoyed the ride and returned safely, albeit without a rear brake on one machine.
Enjoyed reading your report; thanks for sharing it.
Oh, incidentally, I do believe yours is the only trip report to commence with the 'word' 'Touristy'!!!!

Actually, if either of you tour Malaysia I, for one, would be interested in reading about it.

Season's greetings (if you guys celebrate Christmas) and/or Happy and Safe new Year.

Thanks again for your kind words 2wheels. "Touristy" I thought was an apt description of our ride because in reality we were just another bunch of tourists visiting Cambodia with the only difference in our mode of transport. I am pleased that you enjoyed the report though I am not much of a scribe.

I will endeavor to post our Malaysian rides here at GT-Rider in the future though most of our rides here are non overnighters and pretty short affairs.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!!! Cheers!

That's OK Rob; I believe many of us quite enjoy 'short affairs'!
Sometimes, the shorter the better!

Astute observation 2wheels. Couldn't agree more. Cheers!

Fantastic RR! I don't know how I missed it but am happy to have just stumbled across it. Some friends and I are headed down to Malaysia at the end of March to ride the Cameron Highlands and we're very much looking forward to visiting your country!

Happy Trails!

Many thanks TonyBKK for your kind comments. I have read about your intended visit to Malaysia and was pleased that many others have responded quite comprehensively about your routes, etc. I couldnt have contributed anything more save for "have a funtastic ride and don't forget your rain gear!" Cheers!

What an absolutely STELLAR report and kudos for the excellent photos!!
I don't believe you missed any of the major sites...and the Angkor Wat area is surely one you'll long remember.
Cambodia can be inspiring (police excluded and the government); I've often explored in the country for last 10-years,
and there's always new people and places to encounter. I was in PPenh last month (for an engine rebuild), and was quite
surprised by the city's growth: 40+ story building and more sane (relative) driving habits, compared to not too many years earlier
the highest building was a mere 6-stories and all the side roads, between the major thoroughfares were mostly dirt.

I'm happy to read there were no mishaps and all returned home safely.

Thanks again for your wonderful pictorial report. I brought back many memories.

Thank you cdrw for your generous and kind remarks. The quality of the RRs here on GT-Rider are exceptional and mine pales in comparison. However I take your encouraging feedback to strive to do better. Many thanks again for reading.
