I would strongly recommend to get a 60 day visa beforehand as 30 days are hardly enough time to ride across Indonesia. And if one gets through Indonesia in 30 days one wouldnt have seen nothing at all. 60 days is the least you need to visit points of interests and meet locals.
Indonesia is a time consuming country. The traffic is most often totally chaotic and the roads are very jammed - so dont expect to ride more than 300 kms a day.
Ferries are slow and between the easternmost islands the schedules are once or twice a week.
A 60 day visa can be extended 4 times while a 30 day visa can only be extended 1 time. But remember you need an indonesian person to guarantee you while apply for a visa extension. And a visa extension apply is a lengthy process as it most often includes 3-4-5 trips to the immigration office.
So dont even think about getting a 30 visa on arrival, its not enough time for riding through that country and if you need to extend your visa it will a week or so...
