Hey Ts, cool ... Im already looking around. ..
Do u want to ship by air or sea ??? I went to the cargo area of KL airport ...in few days i want to go to the port to know if is really much cheapper.

Hey Dave ...i never been to Dili but I been in sumatra, java,bali, lombok and sumbawa. But already is almost the same price to ship the bike from KL to Australia then from Malaysia to Indonesia ...so what i did is just buy a 2hand bike and enjoy for 4 months Indonesia (which i suggest everyone to visit)

cheers

Hi

I am not that worried, if it is by air t is quicker, but I don't mind languishing around while a ship takes it somewhere then fly after it. I don't care which side of Oz either as I will ride it home from where ever, home being Rockhampton on the east coast.

I have no interest in riding through Indonesia with this bike. It has suffered enough of bad roads and is too heavy to control in slippery mud, it is the wet season now so there will be mud

Anyway, I still haven't heard from One Dollar, I may have to try and chase up a phone number.

Cheers
TS

I took a DL650 from Sumatra to Bali in February 5 years ago, and we were 2-up. Wasn't too bad, main roads were always paved, though road condition does vary a lot, and traffic is crazy. Some very steep hills in Sumatra, that had actually lost their surfacing after rains, so they were like riding "off-road"... and lots of water on the road at times in the north coast of Java (sometimes the water was actually running pretty fast, so that was a bit scary), and some landslides on the mountain roads, but other than those we were just fine. Side roads will be just about anything of course. But if you're riding solo, I don't think the bike or the roads would be a big problem. It takes time to travel through there, though. But Indonesia was one country, that I would not skip, if I had a choice.

Shipping from Bali to Oz is also possible (we had to give East Timor a miss, because we were in Indo at exactly the wrong time, when the coup attempt and resulting unrest happened in Dili)... we payed about 1200 euros for airfreight with Quantas. But the costs were inflated, because we wanted to go Perth, and the aircraft on that direct flight route could not take the bike, so the bike flew Bali->Melbourne->Perth (direct flight was 3,5 hours, but this was at least 10 hours!)

Also there were a couple of Aussies, who ended up using seafreight from Bali, or actually their bikes were taken by truck to Surabaya first, and shipped from there, but I don´t know how it worked out for them.

Heyaaaa, I have my bike in Bangkok at the moment and will also attend the Chiang Mai Meeting in January. Afterwards I will also try to get to Australia. Lets make a plan in Chiang Mai :-)

Cheeers,
Ralf
