kilimantan, sulawesi
sorry i forgot this information:
from kuala lumpur to kutching i took mas cargo: Give your ride a lift | MASkargo
they chargeed 1537.- Malayan money, around 380USD plus around 50 usd for my own seat.
with big luck and obstinately asking around you may finde a ferry, but not shure that this is cheaper....
sulawesi was a dream to ride, just don't forget its huge. roads are mostly verry nice as long you don't try to finde shortcuts on your own ;-)
ferry from balikpapan to palu took around 30 houres, by asdp, twice a week
ferry from bira to flores also took 30 houres, by asdp, once a week on sunday midnight
save ride to you all

It was all a bit difficult with customs and shipping not wanting to take a bike on the ferry but I finally managed. Spent a bit off cash but got there. My blog on toyotadreamingv1 has a link to that trip on travel pod. I was riding a Suzuki DRZ400. More info on the blog, good luck, it helps if you can speak a bit of Indonesian.

Hello! Website doesn’t seem to exist anymore. I’m looking to do the tawau to tarakan way or the reversed. Would love to hear how you did it.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
