Never mind my fear of Phnom Penh traffic and hauntings of a past accident (I got into a bicycle accident and limped around in a luxury cast for a month). The need for freedom was too great.
It's been a month now since I've had my moto and it's pretty dang sweet. Sometimes I'll catch myself speeding around at night all the way up to fourth gear at 40km/h thinking, "I AM SO DANGEROUS." And then I remind myself that 40km/h translates to about 25mph. So no worries, I may be moto'd but I'm going very slow*.

*Phnom Penh gives off the illusion of being a large city largely due to the fact that city traffic is at an average pace of 30 km/h (19mph) so it takes time to get anywhere which makes the city seem much bigger than it is.
