You kick the clutch at dawn and the engine answers with a steady thrum, the Honda XR-250 nudging you out onto tracks that the tourist buses never see. The air is humid and green; the rice fields lean toward the light as if pointing the way. Rivers braid the landscape and mud dares your tires to find a line — this is rural Siem Reap, where modern machines meet centuries of rice cultivation.
