A little update on the situation getting a bike from Malaysia to Indonesia with Cakra Enterprise and Mr Lim. (or actually not an update...)

Boat sails from Butterworth on saturday and arrives Belawan sunday and bikes can be picked up on Monday. Same as mentioned before. But as mentioned before - they like to load the bike on wednesday.

60 day visa to Indonesia seems easily obtained in the Indo consulate at Jalan Burma 467. You need a copy of your index site in your passport, the passport, application, a passportphoto with red background and a airticket in and out of the country. Travel agencies downtown seem to easlily make a fake return ticket if you book a real one way ticket with them. Or you can of course book a cheap return flight yourself and just dont use it. I saw several tickets as low as 79 Ringit and thats a real ticket not a fake one as the agencies give you. The visa were processed in one day so it was to deliver the apply and other papers one day and pick up the passport. It costed 170 Ringit by the way.

Thanks to Recom273 for info about this. Couldnt find any Banana guesthouse downtown in G'Town but talked to Jim in Jims Guesthouse in Chulia street and he seems to know most of the things travellers ask for....

My bike is loaded into the ship today and I will fly over to Medan on sunday and hopefully pick up the bike on monday.

So theres really only one question thats left:

Indonesian insurance. Where and how? Anyone travelled with foreign bike in Indonesia - what did you do?
