Working Vespa fuel tender in Brestagi, Toba region North Sumatra (they sell premixed oil/petrol to fellow scooter riders from the roadside). Possible MOT failure due to non working horn.
bumped into a South Sumatran Scooter club on a 5 day round trip to a scooter rally up the road on the Lake Toba ferry - serious miles on eyewatering roads. They knew more about my Vespa than I did... (not difficult when I think about it..)
Vespa chopper military stylee - particularly like the rocket launchers and wing mirrors.
it will catch on in LA
From left to right, other half, brother in law and mate on our first stab at off roading in the hills around Bandung, Java.
Me on the soft stuff after falling off on the hard stuff... Note protective gear
. Green laning is the new craze in Bandung, the tracks and scenery are fantastic - the bike was a yamaha 125 stroker with a monster rear sprocket which made 1st gear hilarious - big respect to people who can control bigger bikes in the slippery stuff.. We had a hoot, sweat buckets and ached for days afterwards.
Swamped plod bikes outside football match in Bandung (match abandoned due to inclement weather).
We were there for 18 days, visited North Sumatra, Batam, Bintan, Java and Kualar Lumpur for a night - North Sumatra (on Lake Toba) was amazing. Spent a few days chilling on a beach in Bintan and caught up with family in Bandung. Cracking trip
Next trip plan is to bike across Java from Bandung to Lombok via Bali - will take some kit this time.
Now back to work
Ade.
