Shocking Indonesia: A Motorcycle Adventure on Flores Island

[@shawnobrien1743]

I know you have said a lot of people don't like this type of content. But I love it. Can't wait to see you in Sturgis again this year and talk about your adventures more. Maybe on your way you can slide through North Western Wisconsin and say hi.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Hey dude! Glad you and others still like it. For me, it’s the most enjoyable content I put out. Will look for you in Sturgis this year. Additionally, I may well be up in WI on the way out there. Your number still the same?

[@Lifeonafarm-e1n]

Be safe glad you have new video ....nice to bring us in new places you might not be able to visit...

[@renegademoto]

Another cool video Joe!!!

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Thank you sir

[@joeharley87]

Such great scenery. I love the interaction with those kids and the couple. Continue safe travels.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Appreciate it man. Flores was awesome

[@Ironhorsemountainman777]

Another awesome vid. The scenery is breathtaking.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Appreciate it brother. Yes it was

[@frostbitevinnie]

Fun watch! Thanks!

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Anytime man!

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Anytime man!

[@DebtheReb1369]

Keep the adventures in Asia coming. Looks like you have to dodge a lot of bad drivers over there. Enjoy your travels.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Thanks Deb 😊 only a couple more weeks and I’ll be back in the States

[@drdreddmanofmystery9482]

Amazing that they honk at you for driving in the lane you're supposed to be driving in. LOL

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Amazing isn’t it? 🤣 to be fair, I don’t think they were honking “at” me, so much as making sure I saw them

[@phillipdaulton9861]

Definitely one of those “Don’t like my driving? Stay off the sidewalk “ kind of countries.

[@GratefulBamboo]

Good news from Vietnam Joe. Should you return, you should know they tripled and quadrupled traffic fines here last month. It has made for a better, and safer experience. I like what they did. The scofflaws dont run the lights, drive the wrong way and stay off the sidewalks nearly as much. Traffic cams are everywhere so the fines are a real thing and even for me seem expensive. If you do see folks disobeying a red light here, do not follow their lead like I was doing prior to the change. Take care, stay safe.

[@SteveB-hy2ci]

That year of the moth is coming around!..bewaaaarre

[@RodDay]

Safe travels Joe!!! Good to see you are picking up the language so well and enjoying the local foods. Thanks again for sharing

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Thanks man! Tryin’ 😅

[@mikehargenrader577]

Thanks Joe

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

You’re welcome

[@dustyhobomotoadventure]

Nice finding the great food. Those roads are something else looking forward to seeing the dragons Be safe

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Yes they are. Stay tuned

[@southernrebel]

Joe; WOW!! Excellent video. Those trucks was scary!! But the restaurant you was at was awesome. God Bless safe ridin rubber down

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Thank you sir. That place was a trip man

[@garystevens5136]

Love the videos you post from your travels abroad. Absolutely fascinating.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Appreciate that man!! Glad you like them 😊

[@JamesHyde-tb8os]

That view at 3:26, wow.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

It was incredible!

[@gregorychasteen8843]

Another good one, Joe. Thanks for sharing! Ride Safe!

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Appreciate the love man.

[@SteveB-hy2ci]

Just a plain BBQ sandwich is ten bucks here in Alabama joe. Just saying those people are so nice there and stuck up over here ! Be cool joe cool 😎

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Mmm BBQ 🤣 yeah, I can eat 3 meals a day for ten bucks over here lol. That’s why I don’t do restaurant content in the US. It’s too expensive to eat out

[@chipseal900]

Keep up the excellent travelogue! It's terrific.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Will do man! Thanks for watching

[@patrickfreney6269]

great vid Joe,youve interested me in visiting indonesia,and the food sounds/looks great..

[@michaelraine6718]

The highway riding had me tense and I’m just watching! Unbelievable views and landscape.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

It was a trip bro! 😅

[@FloridaBiker-t3b]

I'm hungry

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Me too

[@garysbackroadadventures]

Yet another super video. You've done an amazing job of picking up the language and different dialects of the Philippines and Indonesia. Hoping to see a dragon in the next video. I know you're gonna hate to leave. Coming back to the US and our blan foods here. You may suffer withdrawals for a few weeks.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Appreciate it man. It’s always a lil rough coming back lol 🤣

[@bruceanderson8720]

Those roads but the food did look good

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Yeah man. The thing to do in that country is take a dirt bike where the trucks don’t go

[@pauzenpasuruan2040]

👍💪🇲🇨

[@brionr-y1s]

Awesome thanks for sharing the food must be off the charts enjoy

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Thanks man. Yes it was

[@back_yard_bill]

Hey Joe, it's great you know some of the language, makes it easy when ordering food. Lot of close calls on that road, good thing the bike is small so you can get out of the way faster. 😁

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Yeah, it was an adventure man 😅

[@ArtD2368]

Joe this was freaking awesome the scenery was fabulous thanks again for sharing love your travel videos

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Appreciate that brother ✌️

[@gregorykucera4235]

Great video Joe, thanks man.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Anytime ✌️

[@JimMcCue-v4v]

You are living the dream there dirty joe

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Tryin’

[@Jeff-x3k3z]

Another great video joe... For sure you're going to be bored with american food when you get back to the states...🤣 You're lucky you're. there... weather here in the states has been horrible in you're stomping grounds..👍👍

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

I heard. I’ll be coming back mid February, just in time to get some of that cold weather 🥶

[@gregorytubbs3444]

I like those little restaurants. It's making me hungry and wanting to take a trip to a buffet restaurant not far from me. I like how you can see what you want with the cafeteria style layout of the food. There doesn't seem to be many small restaurants left in the states with decent prices.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

They’re on the way out, most unfortunate. Even in Singapore and Japan you can find decently priced food. In the US, forget it. Even going to a food truck, you’re gonna be paying 15-20. About the only thing the average man on the go can afford is fast food, which is horrible for you and contributes to our health crisis. It’s messed up man

[@gregorytubbs3444]

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond I was being a little polite on my views of American mom and pop restaurants, since I haven't had the chance to see many in a few years. It's sad because the chain restaurants get supplies in bulk to keep prices down. Not so for the family run restaurant, so they're becoming more expensive.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Yep 👍 makes it hard, if not impossible for the little guy to compete. That kind of corporatism is antithetical to a thriving capitalist model.

[@120074]

Hey Joe were you going with that machete in your hand? Love watching these travel adventures, be careful on those roads

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

You ain’t kidding 🔪 dangerous out there

[@iwahyudi77]

76:00 dua this one = yang ini, yang ini satu, that's all = itu saja 🙏good luck Joe

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Terima kasih 🙏 I’ll have to say that next time!

[@gregorytubbs3444]

My theory about cars and trucks in the middle of the road. They're using the hood ornament as a sight to line up with the center line so they don't run off the road. 😂 And what's up with many of them blowing the horn at you?

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

You never know man 🤣 usually in Asia honking isn’t so much of an offensive maneuver as simply letting someone know you’re there. He wasn’t hoking at me, just saying “here I am”

[@casacatrophex2799]

They just saying " Watch out I am from this lane "

[@casacatrophex2799]

​@@dirtymotorcyclevagabondyeah true

[@MoeLarrycurly1]

😊🏍️✌🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@jazzsounds8159]

Much better than the US videos.

[@henry-r1f]

Meanwhile here in the states our kids either have their face in a phone,video game or TV ! Those kids you met will grow up to appreciate the small things that we take for granted !

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Absolutely 💯

[@MrGus4440]

More fish with eyes Joe. Maybe I will see you in Daytona.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

I’ll SEE you there 👀 haha

[@erbeset1]

I'm amazed at how religion still has the hearts and minds of people in some of the poorest areas on this planet. Doors always closed yet the structure is the most well kept. The views are amazing and the people are very kind.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

❤️

[@brucesather1590]

children of the corn that was funny cracked me up

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

🤣 🔪

[@journeyofjerry820]

Okay Joe I have already helped you out in the creative design process for the next video thumbnail. It needs to be a version of the bloodsport movie poster but with the words Komodo Dragon in it. Joe remember to bob and weave , take the back, and watch out for the saliva. Side note I don't think a painting of a Komodo would survive the journey back. lmao. All in jest. I have found myself entranced in this series like your earlier Mexico series. Still my Favorite by the way. Be safe my friend.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

That would be awesome! Unfortunately beyond my meager talents in photo manipulation 🤣 I’d have to actually FIGHT the dragon and have someone take a picture! 🦎 glad you’re enjoying this series brother. You gonna be at Forgotten Angels?

[@jamiemohr5082]

Will you be at bike week in Daytona?

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

I’ll be there 😎

[@jamiemohr5082]

@@dirtymotorcyclevagabond same location? J&P cycles?

[@stevenbuis4490]

Joe you never talk about getting fuel. I don’t see it in the remote areas. Comment please

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

I’ll have to see if I got some video of the gas “stations” if so I’ll put it in the next video

[@SteveB-hy2ci]

Any BBQ?

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

I saw some genuine BBQ in the Philippines, but it’s insanely expensive. I haven’t tried it

[@SteveB-hy2ci]

@dirtymotorcyclevagabond I was wondering because pigs are of short supply on those islands

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Whole lot of them in the Philippines, but not so much in Indo, due to the large population with halal requirements. The beef and fish is great though.

[@lonewolvesonwheels]

I would be arrested for throwing rocks threw windshields

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

It’s a headache bro

[@lonewolvesonwheels]

In NorCal honking is a fight.No one honks unless they want some lol I have never hit my horn on purpose.Once I was turning my traction control off and pushed it because it’s the same button and looked around to make sure someone wasn’t about to jump me lol

[@GratefulBamboo]

A husband like me. Durian not allowed in the house. Its a good rule. 😆 I eat it a lot. Never inside my house. Durian smells like rancid urine for those who never experienced it. Tastes really good though.

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Great isn’t it? Most of the time I don’t even notice the smell. Other times, I’m like “wtf am I doing?” 🤣

[@jayboog5000]

I got a 500cc in Thailand that was the perfect compromise between power and mileage

[@dirtymotorcyclevagabond]

Right on man. When I was there it was high tourism season, couldn’t find anything along those lines. Some of the moto travelers will just buy a bike outright and then sell it. Sounds like a lotta hassle but I might do that next time
