He knows just about all there is to know about motorbike tours in Asia, having launched
the Vintage Rides concept 10 years ago. The passion is still there -more than ever- and the

A TRIP
WITH UNIQUE SENSATIONS
Riding atop a legendary motorcycle, the Royal Enfield, you will travel for more
than 1200 kms (745 miles) between Bali and Java. Once you leave behind Ubud,
you embark on a discovery of Indonesia’s traditions and natural marvels. You
will quickly leave behind Bali, its rice terraces, its dense and lush jungles, its
Hindu temples to discover Java’s coffee plantations, wild, untouched beaches
and mythical volcanoes: Mount Bromo and Kawah Ijen. Upon returning to Bali
after the Javanese adventure, you will enjoy crystalline waters and the gentle
life in the Island of Gods.
