Apparently the authorities in Bali are thinking of banning foreigners from hiring motorcycles, and scooters, due to the fact many tourists aren't wearing helmets, speed and wear open shirts when riding, of there might be leeway for motorcycle license holders.

[@open_water2411]

Hope you’ve fully recovered now Freddie. Lounging about in Edinburgh watching the beauty of Bali float by is one of the incredible luxuries of the 21st century. Stunning as ever from you both.

[@biker_dale]

That's more like it, quiet and beautiful 😊I don't even mind the rain, it wouldn't look like it does without it. Great video and glad you're back to full strength, the food does look stunning and very healthy. There's something nice about tootling along on a small bike, I think you get more of the experience of the place, the smells and you see a lot more as you aren't in a rush to get anywhere. Thanks for taking us with you again.

[@FreddieDobbs]

I completely agree re small bikes Dale, plus the fact they’re so quiet, you hear everything around👌🏻

Freddie this and your other videos are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your trip to Bali. The enthusiasm and thoughtful insights is very engaging.

[@johnnywalker3234]

I think motorcycle companies and designers hope and pray that their bikes end up in front of someone like you Freddie. Someone that takes the time to understand the culture of where they are, the intent and purpose of the bike, and how the two interact with each other in such an empathetic way. You two are doing the industry a great service.

[@FreddieDobbs]

[@seanmiller598]

The north of the island and volcano's are beautiful areas for riding. It can get quite cool at wet in the mountains so worth bringing a waterproof jacket. If you're looking for peace and tranquility Sure beats the overcrowded south

[@Munter1]

Another awesome video From you both, the scenery is breathtaking the roads look very good too not a pothole to be seen!!! Also l didn’t see any road signs anywhere so a sat nav would be paramount, no speed signs either so presumably no speed cameras? Glad your over you Bali belly Freddy l hope you had a good supply of loo rolls lmao. Keep the videos coming Freddy they’re excellent. N.B. I think the beeb should give you and Monica your own travel show.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Very well observed- I’d never even considered this and you’re spot on- there are almost no road signs, no speed signs- nothing at all. It’d be close to impossible to navigate without satnav, and I genuinely have no idea what any speed limits are here😆

[@faisalarh]

​@@FreddieDobbs when travelling in the city the established speed limits are 50 kph (or stated otherwise on the speed limit sign), when in and around a village/settlement the speed limits are 30 kph (or stated other wise). And when going out between the city/regency, the speed limits are up to 80 kph (unless stated otherwise), because all over Indonesia, only in Bali there's a toll road available for motorcycle, with protected lanes separate from four wheelers and up.

[@keithbateman5360]

Greetings from down under. Thanks for taking us along Freddie and Monika. Visiting Bali in the 70,s and 80,s last century was a vastly different experience. My budget was $1aud per day including accomodation in a homestay losmen. That included breakfast of a bowl of bananas and a thermos of hot sweet tea. When we could budget for it our go to transport was to hire pushbikes or travel to the mountains by local bemo. Love your work. Thanks again.

[@FreddieDobbs]

What an insight!! Incredible. Thank you so much for sharing this, Keith🙂

[@godwinpaul368]

Enjoyed the video . I think getting out of the busy part of any city or country you get to see the real heart of the place . It is beautiful

[@1990-t1j]

Glad you're better. Get a Kindle and read novels, Freddie. Start with mine 😀. I'm surprised anyone buys bike magazines anymore. When I was in Tokyo in the early '90s, I subscribed to BIKE. It was the highlight of my month when it arrived. Apart from the nights out in Roppongi. 13:07 Aerox alert. Yamaha Aerox 155: my scooter in Thailand. The scenery is not so different from northern Thailand. For example, 18:53 could easily be less than a kilometre from where we live, just north of Chiang Rai City. The rice fields, the palms trees, the mountains in the distance.

[@FreddieDobbs]

I really should read books too! These online subscriptions are a brilliant way to read multiple titles🙂👌🏻 It’s a stunning part of the world and Thailand too- I LOVE Thailand!❤️

[@Mark-el8sb]

Nice video. Not sure the improvised clothing would have passed muster if you'd come across anyone at the temple, and this can sometimes be quite a sensitive issue. Since you guys are here for a while, you might consider buying a couple of inexpensive sarongs and sashes to keep in the bike for impromptu stops at temples. Take care and ride safe!

[@FreddieDobbs]

I’ll remember this, thanks Nark🙂

[@volt8684]

Wow this is truly evocative the music and scenery ideally matched. Glad uve recovered freddie had it in Malta was hospitalised for 4 days in 1988. Ate some clams that was the culprit. Its amazing how weak u become in a short time. I hope I get to see Bali one day truly wonderful. Thanks for bringing this to us. I think your productions could really be mainstream tv series. Amazon are you watching.. One thing has struck me is that since 1976 I have never not owned a motorcycle commuter from c50/70/90 yamaha t80 (shaft drive… yes) 125cc and commuter all year round. An now 64 and only had one crash in ice. But I love riding them semi autos and what it would be to ride in a climate like that and me too would not wear many clothes …part the freedom and visceral pleasure

[@FreddieDobbs]

Four days in hospital- that is serious! Monika gave me pills to force me to throw up- this sped up the process🤢 Little commuter bikes are magic; jump on, jump off, normal clothes, ultra simple, tough little things built to be used and abused💪🏼

Another top video. When we were there, I kept seeing carrier bags in the tree's and wondered what was going on. The fruit you showed later in the year they wrap them in carrier bags in the tree's to keep the insects off. They make a fantastic curry with them, they have a strange texture rather like tuna.

[@FreddieDobbs]

Interesting! I think there’s a sign on our hotel door telling people to not bring these fruits inside because they smell very bad(?)😆🤷‍♂️

I visited Bali in 1986. Like all places, especially those reliant upon tourism, the march of time has not been kind to a lot of that lovely Island. Looks like there are still a few stunning places remaining though.

[@FreddieDobbs]

I can imagine is was untouched by tourism back then! You are right- many of the built up areas are not the prettiest

[@Yang_Mulia]

as balinese if you really want to explore rural area in bali rent a small tough car like jimny bring couple of instant food & blanket get lost in bedugul, mt agung, mt batur, you will see so many exotic place also don't forget data plan & local sim card in case of emergency i think you should check the biggest & the oldest temple called pura besakih dont forget to bring proper sarung

[@dyazkiprit]

i suggest you to have your own sarong, it's very convenient stuff to wear when you're in a cold area to warm your body, you can also wear it as picnic mat when you're on the beach, or to dry yourself when it's rain and you have no towels around, and sarong is a must when you enter praying area whether it's a Hindu temple or a the mosque of Muslim.

We had a fantastic holiday in Bali about 4 or 5 years ago. We even got to experience a massive earthquake one night. We only found out the next morning at breakfast, that pretty much everyone had evacuated the building and gone to high ground. (We just went back to bed🤣) I guess when you grow up in 60s/70s Belfast, your response to threat and danger gets a bit jaded🤣🤣

[@ArmiLabitan-ix7fp]

Hi Freddie and Monika, I can’t begin to tell you how much I enjoy watching your video. Since you travel a lot, let me recommend a very simple but important “first aid” to keep in mind. At any given time when you have to endure stomach upset, whether a 24 hour stomach flu or unduly food that you think you might have eaten, the best medicine to have is either to drink sprite or seven up until your stomach settles. And if you have altitude sickness in case you hit the Andes or some high altitude places, drink Gatorade or some drink that will help your electrolytes. These two drinks will work like magic. Although, maybe someday you might want to go on a bike ride on the Hawaiian islands, I hope to see you on Waikiki where I live. Continue your journey and always be safe.🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️🏄

A memory lane trip, lived in Brunei during the 90’s n went to Bali twice. First was Kuta and yep the street vendors drive you nuts, one Aussie tourist brought Main Street to a standstill with a “won’t you just fu@£ off”… Next trip was Ubud way just like where you were, tranquil. Liking your vlog sound tracks 😎

Really enjoy your guys videos, really nicely done. BTW. Random note (apologies if duplicate): I see Bali is planning to ban foreign tourists from using motorbikes, according to one UK news site, at any rate. Keep up the good work!

I really believe this’ll decimate the tourism sector- if it’s acted upon (which it looks like it will be!😳)

Question - so why stay in the centre when you could stay in the countryside? Brilliant series btw!

The incredible selection of cafes and restaurants is a big reason for us to pick the busy areas. It was a toss up between the natural beauty of these traditional areas, and the convenience of the touristy areas🙂

You saying about the currency made me remember doing some work out in Guinea West Africa. A trip to the supermarket involved a carrier bag of cash. They had one check out person to count the money and another to do the check out, it was surreal.
