Have you ever wanted to just get away from it all, jump on a motorcycle and ride? We did and this site is all about that experience and how it changed our lives.

Bangko Bangko Desert Point or Bust?
Another classic day. Heading west from Kuta Lombok to Seketong. A fuel stop and change of plan saw us detour to Desert Point Bangko Bangko. An unbelieveable ride in until we hit the dirt. A five kilometre run that started with a shitty flat section of broken down road and rocks followed by an extremely technical ride up a rocky ridge. Continue reading “Bangko Bangko Desert Point or Bust?”
What a Day
The picture is worth a thousand words. Words can not begin to describe the ambiance that you feel sitting in a beachfront warung sipping beers, tucking into a nasi goreng and chatting with the locals. It doesn’t get much better. The picture is taken at Selong Balanak beach in the south of Lombok Indonesia. Continue reading “What a Day”
Any One For a Jacks?
You’ve gotta love the bike culture in Indonesia. If you have got a pulse and a few spare dollars in the bank then do yourself a favour and get yourself over to Indonesia and jump on a bike. Life is way to short to be stuck behind a desk or leaning on a shovel. Continue reading “Any One For a Jacks?”
Beautiful Bromo
So here we go! Riding from Malang to Bromo. We had no idea what to expect or what we were to behold that day. We headed off early in order to enjoy the sunrise as we rode. It made for a chilly start to the day. We stopped for kopi, took some photographs and continued to climb into the mountains. It was awesome seeing the sun come up on the road and somehow I knew it was going to be a special day. Continue reading “Beautiful Bromo”
Banjar Blues
We set off from Bandung on our way to Pangandaran leaving our guides from Jakarta behind. We were on our own now having been shepherded from Jakarta to Bandung by the wonderful staff at our Indonesian supplier. Talk about great after sales service. Our trip was to take five and a half hours according to Google Maps. Continue reading “Banjar Blues”
Lombok Logistics
Well it started as a dream. Reality was a long way off considering the task at hand. Procure motorcycles in Indonesia with the intent of touring Indonesia. Easy to say, not so easy to do. Well not the way we did it anyway. Although we intend to be wallflowers, somehow we also like to be different. Continue reading “Lombok Logistics”
Tampah Proof
Can you believe no one really goes to this beach! Well not tourists anyway, not yet. We met some locals here who lived right on the beach. No high rise here! Just living proof that you don’t need much in life to be happy. If a westerner built a house here it would have a window facing the beach. I suppose it is a bit different when building with bamboo, palm leaves and long grass. Continue reading “Tampah Proof”
