Indonesian Busses
Lot to be said about the busses here in Indo and just about every other person who wants a piece of you too. Kamikaze drivers is putting it mildly and road repair crews too for that matter BUT I still love travelling around Indonesia on a big assed bike 1200GSA. Wouldn't want to travel any other way personally. I had a great opportunity of being up close and personal with a bus driver on the wrong side of the road coming towards me I stopped the bike put it on it's stand and waited for him to come to a stand still and casually walked over and put my fist through his side window. I still remember fondly the look on his face and all the passengers cheered me on. My wife on the back of the bike wasn't too happy but I was grinning at the time. That was on the main drag from the Bromo turnoff on the way to Bungiwangi in East Java. Poor driver he was the one who copped it from me for all the other busses that tried to kill me from East Timor to Sabang and back again.
