Dear Steemians

This is my entry to #vehiclephotography contest organised by juliank@juliank.

It depicts my old Honda XR250 in a bamboo grove which I stumbled across while riding in semi-evergreen forest in the "Dragon's Tail" region of Cambodia. The Dragon's Tail is located at the confluence of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam and is home to many tribal minorities, such as the Bunong, Jarai and Kowee people.

It's also located upon the old Ho-Chi-Minh trail, and was the most heavily bombed area on this planet of ours thanks to the CIA's secret war and "Air America" during the Vietnam conflict.

Fascinating stuff, but also a touch frightening when riding for days off pavement!
