A little bit about me and my blog

By Nug

Hi.. Welcome to my (ride report) blog.

It is part of the other side of my life, I guess. Get away from the hectic of my working routines and environment as a corporate lawyer and businessman. Here I am enjoying different kind of relaxing but still challenging at the same time; riding my touring or sport bikes. Hm.. Looks like I never get away too far from a challenging (and some how, risky) activities.

In this blog you could see my riding activities. A bit different with my other blog (Hanya Kata-kata), in this blog you could see a lot of pictures. So far, I have ridden my Ducati Multistrada (mostly with a group of riders) in Sumatra, Java, Bali Islands and Malaysia Peninsula. I would like to explore more and ride in Sulawesi Island and other parts of Indonesia this year (if possible) or next year. Would you like to ride with us?

 I also write down my sport riding activities, including track days like this:

Some other bikes related issues or activities could also be found here.

Please enjoy and feel free to comments.

Best regards,

    Hi everyone,

    I think this is the best place to ask questions :-) The other day I was browsing the Internet and I came across a whole bunch of Ducati distributors/dealers and what not, all in Indonesia. I could not resist but contact a few of them, they all told that these bikes were originals.

    Here is the link: http://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/ID-suppliers/ducati.html

    I couldn’t sleep that night thinking what a bargain, but it’s too good to be true, in my oppinion.

    Can somebody shed some light on this subject and explain what the heck is going on here?

    Thanks,

    Robert

    info@pannonsports.com

    Hi Robert..
    Wow.. I could not believe this..!!
    We know exactly amost every single bike in Indonesia. Those bikes and the Company’s Names referred therein are NEVER EXIST legally in Indonesia..!! The bikes mentioned are also inccorect (a Ducati Monster with a Honda CBR, Ducati Demosedici RR with 1098 picture, etc). This could be arrange by a or some HECKERS which we do not know where. Please ignore and do not spent your time dealing with this kind of people.

    Yeah, good deals, eh? Check this out:

    http://www.bantengmotor.com/Products.html

    ARAI helmets:
    http://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/ID-suppliers/arai_helmets.html

    I’ve talked to a few “distributors” they want $80 USD for RX-7 helmets.

    Gee, you guys live there, you don’t know anything about this?

    Robert

    Robert,
    Those distributors has NEVER Exist legally. No real address is available for this kind of activities. If you could meet them phisically and see the goods offered by them here, you could even pay them triple price offered for RX7 Arai Helmet and that is still classified as a veru good price. But, will that thing happen? You may try and pay them USD80 if you like, and hope the helmet will come to your address, one day.. which we will never know when, if it ever reach you.

    “Gee, you guys live there, you don’t know anything about this?”
    Robert, if you live here, in Indonesia (with 300 million popullation spread out in more 13.000 islands) will you know? I will know this kind of activities if it is real and they start offering their product “directly” (not via Internet) to Ducati community here in Indonesia. But, how should I know this people, if they are really Indonesian ? They even don’t know what they are selling (See their offer of a Ducati Monster with Honda CBR picture, or Ducati Desmodedici RR with 1098 picture, etc). We do not know this kind of people, if they are really esist in Indonesia. Do you know all people in your country who has an access to internet Robert? We are also not a Cyber Crime Police Officer. Come on Robert.. ask a more reasonable question..!!

    Cyber Crime is exist every where in the world. Even FBI has a specific department to take care of it which showing that it’s existence is quite a lot in USA.

    In my last question I was just wondering that these type of things can happen and nobody knows about them.

    If it’s true, you can pick up a nice helmet for a fraction of it’s cost :-)

    R.

    Internet trading is not something common yet, in Indonesia. We usually still buy things directly at an old fashion store. I have answered the rest of your questions (if that really, questions), above.
    I’m wondering if you really know Ducati, or not looking for a “strange ilogical unbelievable cheap price of goods” how can you ever trust or interested to someone offering you a Monster with CBR pic, or Desmosedici with 1098 pic ?? I guess we should stop the discussion about this topic here. Thx.

    Hi Noeg,

    I submitted some of my comments in your other weblog.
    In this page I only want to ask the existance of very old motorcycle shown above. Does this bike still exsts ? Where the photo was taken ? In Indonesia ? If you know who own it I would really like to meet and see closely this rare species.
    Thank you and my warm regards.
    P.S. When we can ride together again Bro Noeg ?

    Dear Pak Joesril,
    I’m very happy that come and visit here.. Thanks ya Pak..:)

    You are reffering to that antique bike right? Hm.. I’m not so sure if I could help. I just met them on one Sunday morning arround Kebayoran Baru on their convoy, and took their pics. See my report about them here: http://agustusnugroho.wordpress.com/2008/10/13/2008-may-antique-bicycles-ride-supporting-green-earth/

    Yes, it will be nice if we could ride together again Pak.. :)

    Hello Pak Nug.

    I am a Ducati Fan, a big Fan, but just so happens I am only a Fan not an owner of one.
    But I hope that soon will change.

    I am on the market for a used monster, I’ve been to your store a couple of times but still the used ones are way beyond my tiny budget.

    I heard from your employee (Inggar?) that there are finance companies (Massil & Niaga?) willing to cover used bikes.
    Can I have the contact number and person for that company? Is Niaga willing to cover used ones?

    And one more thing, If I get the bike from a user, can I lease them directly or do I have to buy it through your Store first ?

    Sorry for so many questions..

    Thanks.

    Sam

    Hi Sam,

    Thank you for visiting my blog.
    The is only one or two 2nd hand Monsters on the market. I’m sending you email for more detail discussion.

    Hi, I think we had allready some email contact. I`m Uwe, just arrived from Swizzerland. Unfortunately I had to leave my Ducati there. I am looking for some informations on regulations of motobike riding in Indonesia. Some colleagues told me you need to be member of a club, e.g. For sure if I would buy my a bike it should be again a Ducati. Are there shops here? For any hint I would be thankful.

    Cheers
    Uwe

    Hi Uwe.. Welcome to Indonesia..:)
    Hope you now understand due to a very high tax regime, Big Motorcycle Proce in Indonesia is very high. Come to Ducati shop in Automall at SCBD (beside Pacific Place and closed to The Jakarta Stock Exhange Building). You may get all information about Ducati there.
    Anyhow, if you have any problem, you may always contact me.

    Best regards,
    Nug

    Mr. Nugroho

    I appreciate the pictures, well taken and tell the story of this riding adventure. I am writing from California so your description of fresh air (in contrast to pollution here) the good breakfast in Puncak Pass, and the beautiful scenes are of great delight. Thanks for sharing, ride safely, and continue to share in your blog.

    I was searching/googling MEGA MENDUNG, and stumbled on this great blog.
