Driving Motorcycles in Bali Travel Reviews

Jul 07, 2007
In my opinion, the best way to experience Bali is by motorbike. But unlike other parts of Asia where laws are non-existent, you are required to either have an international drivers license or an Indonesian license. Since I had neither, I went to the police station in Denpasar, paid $25, and got the coolest souvenir of my trip! I use it now to get into bars in LA. It's completely in Indonesian, and confuses the hell out of bartenders and bouncers. So fun!

Also a helmet is required at all times. Cops are waiting to pull over any westerner they see, since most are without licenses. If you're caught without one, you can always bribe with a few bucks, but it's so much cooler to have an official license!

Be weary of roads. Potholes, cows, monkeys, and irrational drivers are everywhere. Once you've handled Indonesian roads, you're ready for anything!
