BKK vs Bali, search for Bali Massage
@ Hamaca - Bali is not as monger-friendly as Bangkok, in my opinion. For a start, it’s not as easy to move about and the addresses are not as easy to pin down. Many reports in this (Bali) forum struggle to give directions to one place or another. You’ll see a good bit of “go to the bakery and walk 50 metres…” and other such directions. It often looks more like a treasure hunt than street address information! And the bars will not have “hostesses” or other girls so obviously working. I think Bangkok, or anywhere in Thailand, is just easier and more obvious. Bali is not that difficult, except that the action is more observable later at night.
@Lotty228 – Use the search function, and you will come up with a posting that gives the address and telephone number for Bali Massage, as well as map. Look for a post by Marpa on 09-06-07.

1. you can be stopped by police at any time, no reason (violation) needed, but it doesn't happen much. in one month of riding i might get stopped 0-2 times. during these "routine" stops, they are checking:
a. are you wearing a helmet
b. do you have proper motorbike documents (registration)
c. do you have proper license.
if you satisfy all of these, you will be allowed on immediately, they aren't interested in wasting time with you if you are legit.
if you fail any of these, proceed to the bribery phase of the transaction:
2. bribery phase: policeman will tell you what you did wrong. will tell you he must ticket you, you must go to court, etc. he has the right at this time to confirep001e your vehicle registration, license, etc. to ensure you go to court.
you then say, "can i take care of it now? " he will say, "how much will you pay now? " you will then enter a short phase of negotiation, not unlike haggling for a good price on a t-shirt. you have a little leverage in that he does not want you to take the ticket and go to court, he wants the bribe, so anything he can collect is a bonus for him but he won't let you go for too cheap. suitable price is 50k rupiah per violation.

Licenses:
1. You can bring a suitable license with you from your home country, which means, an "international drivers License" (IDL). In USA the rights to issue those belong to AAA auto service. I'm sure you can do a Google to find the authority in your country. If you want to drive a motorbike in Bali, the International License is worthless without having the motorcycle endorsement stamped. That will only happen if you are licensed for a motorcycle on your home driver's license. If you are stopped and have the IDL but not motorcycle endorsed, that is the same as having no license.
2. You can get a license in Bali. I go to a Police Station on the way to the Uluwatu surfing beaches, but I'm sure it can be done elsewhere. I go in and tell the policeman on duty I want to drive a motorbike for xx days and I'd like to get a license, "is this possible"? He will say yes, and get out a somewhat official form, and fill it out by hand. This form is your license. You will need your home driver's license he can copy some info from and it wouldn't hurt to have your passport too, that he can refer too, but he won't keep either of these items. After this, carry only the local license form. Do not carry or show your home license.
YOUR HOME LICENSE DOES NOT NEED TO BE MOTORCYCLE ENDORSED to get this local motorbike license. You should pay him 150K rupiah, which is comparable to the cost of the international license anyway.

Motorbike rentals are everywhere in the tourist areas.
1. When you receive the bike, it will almost always be nearly empty of gas, so your first step is to find out where the nearest gas is sold, and go there. 3-4 liters to fill the tank. Gas is around 5000 rupiah/liter.
2. Contrary to what someone else said, a day of rental is 24 hours. Further, If you rent 7 days, starting at noon on Jan. 1, it is due back by noon Jan. 8.
3. Automatic transmission bikes are widely avaiable now and are highly recommended. Easier to drive. Tend to have a larger storage bin under the seat. the Yamaha Nouvo has very large bin, enough to store your helmet.
4. Price for a automatic should be 30K/day, manual 25K/day. For long rentals, say 10 days or more, you should be able to get 5000 rupiah less per day.
5. Test the bike! Check headlights, high beams, brake lights, taillights, turn signals front and back, brakes work, start easy, idles properly, frame isn't bent, etc. etc. drive it down the street and back to make sure it is aligned properly. Observe your gas situation (See #1 above)
6. Get your dealer's hand phone number in case the bike fails. If it fails through no fault of yours, he should come out to you and fix it or replace it.
7. Minor damage you cause, just fix it yourself at a local mechanic. they are very very cheap and better than returning it dinged to the dealer.
8. Flat tire: a new tube including installation is only 50K.
9.. Buy gas at a petrol station, do not buy from roadside vendors. They cut the gas with Kerosene and also it can be dirty. This can result in clogging your fuel supply or messing up your carb.
10. No need for insurance. Better to fix any damage yourself, and besides, if you pay insurance and then damage it, very likely the dealer will confront you with some kind of "deductible" amount or say xyz damage isn 't covered, etc. In other words your aren't buying anything.

driving in bali can be dangerous as there is an "anything" goes mentality of the drivers.
1. safest scenario is when you a going along with the traffic, even though everyone is passing on all sides, people are going in the same direction and accidents rarely happen at this time.
important: make no sudden moves, turns, drastic lane changes, etc. always precede every significant event with a turn signal.
2. the real danger is vehicles pulling out in front of you, turning in front of you, driving straight at you in "your lane" (tour buses, trucks). do not drive a motorbike and sightsee at the same. you must focus on the road and traffic. you must do two things at once:
a. negotiate the immediate traffic scenario near you.
b. anticipate 50-100 meters down the road. for example, if you see a tour bus in the distance and he is behind a slow car, you can be fairly sure he is going to pass the car using your lane whether you are there or not. you can then begin to flash your lights warning him off, and/or begin slowing down so he can complete the pass prior to running you off the road.
c. it is possible to drive at a relatively moderate safe speed staying to the "leftish" side of the road (not too close, hazards can surprise you from there), and just cruise along incident free. it's not a bad idea to find a large car that is traveling at a decent pace, and just drive behind it at a close but safe distace. the car then acts as a major deterrent to other vehicles encroaching in your area. but still, make sure you are visible, and be ready for anything.
d. use your horn often to warn people where you are. anticipate, and beep early. especially if it looks like someone is going to pull out in front of you.
