Topic: Talking to people in Indonesia about bikes

[fdbrat]

Indo has such a cool bike scene there is bikes every where. Most are pretty friendly to talk to.

They have all sorts of bikes there. Mopeds to Hondas to Harley's. and they don't have a size complex. They love all bikes. It's so cool. I'd like to visit there some day and meet my online friends.

Indo rocks!

Ha. I remember when I joined the cb100 facebook group a few years ago. 498 of it's 500 members were from Indonesia. Now I'm friends with a bunch of the members too. It's funny that you noticed the bike scene in Indonesia, too. I'd love to go there someday and just cruise.

One evening when I was walking the streets of Bukittinggi (Sumatra) in 1985, I met a group talking. One of them was on a dark red Harley (I believe 1948 or maybe even pre-war). When I told him I rode a bike myself, he offered me his for a ride. The ride was a bit odd: had to shift gears by handling a lever at the tank, the brakepedal was on the other side of the bike I was used to and steering was... well, interesting. What amazes me up to this day is that he trusted a stranger to ride his museumpiece. Mind you, it was night and pitch dark.

Every time I list British parts on eBay, they go to Indonesia. Half the time they pay more for shippingtthan they do the part itself.

They have 16,000 + members. It's a face book page. Really cool group.

The shops there have tons of aftermarket parts. Crazy. I to really want to go riding there.

Thanx for sharing that story Delta. Yeah they seem very good natured.

They said they love lots of coffe and cigs. Some beer too. I love Indo!
