It’s late at night and I’m on my moped heading out of Chiang Mai, back to my little bamboo hut. So much of my time here is spent riding from one place to another on the moped that I felt it deserved a picture. Despite my recent crash, I still enjoy taking to the road on two wheels and I often just go out for rides to see where the moped will take me.

If I lived somewhere warm and dry I would seriously consider getting a motorcycle of some kind. Maybe now my mother’s objections to that notion will have faded, after all I’m not the speed hungry road racer I was in my teenage years.

I’m tempted to buy a moped out here and slowly trek across Asia. In my imagination, at least, that sounds like an awesome adventure. But don’t worry Mom, it’s not something I’m seriously considering.. yet!
