renting 'big' bikes in Indonesia (Bali, Java, Lombok)
I am planning a 4 week Indonesia trip, with a friend who is Indonesian.
So far, our plan is to spend a few days in Bali, then travel Java up to Yogyakarta or all the way to Jakarta, fly from there directly to Lombok for a few days before departure from Bali.
This is not going to be a motorbike trip. However, I am seeking opportunities to build shorter motorbike trips into our itinerary.
Is it at all possible to rent motorbikes (e.g. 250cc dirt bikes) in Bali, Java and/or Lombok? If so, where, and what kind of bike can we expect?
Where would be the most rewarding opportunities for 1-2 day off-road trips?
I suppose this is more likely to be possible on Bali or Lombok, since we want to avoid backtracking when traveling through Java.
Would it make sense to bring my own helmet or even jacket with protection along?

most folks actually take the fast boat between Bali and Lombok rather than flying, especially if you are going to the Gili isles.

Java was the most hectic place I've ever ridden... It's insane, good fun though.
