Renting a new motorbike in Seminyak Bali
Returning to Bali in December Ika had changed the motorbike, from an old Supra to a new Supra Fit. I didn’t care, the cost is the same to me, 400,000rp per month. Riding a newer bike is cool because everything works as it should, new tires, good transmission, comfortable. The thing I really like is the storage area under the front part of the seat. The old bike never used to have this and I had to fold my poncho and pack it flat as a pancake before closing the seat. Now I actually have some space.
There were a couple of other things I noticed about the Supra Fit. For some reason the petrol tank kept getting low super quick and I felt like I didn’t have as much power as before. Was there some lever I was supposed to pull that would send this new machine into overdrive?
After checking the website I found out the Supra Fit is only 100cc, compared to 110cc for the Supra. The extra storage is probably at the expensive of a big fuel tank. Oh well, its a give and take world. I think the Supra Fit is a good bike for getting around downtown. Out on the Bypass it lacks power, but I did get up to Batukaru the other day without trouble.
Just remember, it takes a big man to ride a small bike.

Nick,
It might take a big man to ride a small bike but it takes a big bike to hold a big bloke and his wife.
Here is a snap of Christine and I scraping the pegs on our FJR-1300 on the Oxley Highway, West of Port Macquarie in NSW, Australia.
Imagine the looks we’d get riding this around Kuta!
Please tell me you’ve gotten ride of that terrible ping pong ball helmet by the way?
Cheers
Stu

We have kids so while a Bike is also essential we will have to have the car.
Look forward to hearing about it
Hi Nick,
In your pic, any idea what that reddish/brownish stuff is floating in the rice paddies?
(Forget this 100cc stuff, u should try 100hp)
