Paolo Pirozzi keliling Dunia naik Multistrada 1200

Menarik sekali, sempat bertemu Paulo Porozzi dalam The First ADW lalu di Malaysia. Chairman Ducati Club di Naples, ilaty ini memang Biker sejati. Ia mengelilingi Dunia dengan Ducati Multistrada 1200 dan sekarang masih dalam perjalanannya. Hal sangat menarik, Paolo menjalani semua perjalanan solo nya ini tanpa bantuan GPS. Dia hanya menggunakan map biasa yg dimilikinya. Uduuun….

Bukit Tinggi – Banda Aceh Ride (Part 8)

Continued from Part 7.

Day 5: Medan -Banda Aceh

Today is going to be long ride of more than 640 Km. So we woke up very early morning to be able to start immediately after Sholat Subuh and expecting to arrive in Banda Aceh before the dark. Today is the longest day ride we have in this touring but due to the smooth asphal road and some long straight road on this route, we anticipate the time would be a lot shorter than our ride from Bukit Tinggi to Prapat. This is our route map.

Bukit Tinggi – Banda Aceh Ride (Part 4)

Continued from Part 3.

A quite big gas station after Padang Sidempuan. They sold Pertamax here. To be safe, each time we filled in the gas full tank every about 150 km ride.

Bukit Tinggi – Banda Aceh Ride (Part 1)

Day 1 (12-09-2009): Bukit Tinggi – Harau Valley – Bukit Tinggi

Ok, this time we managed to skip (again) 3 days from the office and make use of the Independence Day long weekend to continue our ride from Bukit Tinggi to Banda Aceh. We have 15 bikes all together, that consist of 5 Ducati Multistrada, 6 Ducati Monster, 2 Ducati ST, 1 Ducati SS, and Samuel the Desmosedici Man, bring his GSX 1000.

Today, we flew by morning flight from Jakarta to Padang and directly went to Bukit Tinggi by car. This is a relaxing day. No rush and later we will only warm up the bike and ride to Harau Valley, not too far from Bukit Tinggi.

2007 November – EICMA, Milan Motorcycle Show

Milan Motorcycle Show is always interesting to see since many new bikes usually announced and shown there. I managed to visit Milan and get a chance to be in the show early November 2007.

 

2007 September – Charity Ride to Serang

 

Sunday September 23, 2007 was still in a fasting (Ramadhan) month for all Muslim around the world, including in Indonesia. Most us who were fasting are not allowed eating or drinking during the day. As part of the fasting spirit to care to the others, especially those who are under poverty or need assistance, fasting month is always a good time to share and do some social activities. Some of Ducatisti take the challenge to ride back and forth from Jakarta to Serang while fasting for a charity activity (donating some basic foods) to those needed in Serang area. The distance between Serang-Jakarta-Serang is about 200 Km and riding during the day (which might be hot day) without drinking and meals will be an interesting challenge.

2007 – August : 2500 KM MALAYSIA PENINSULA RIDE (KEMBARA MERDEKA 2007)

This is the second time I joined in a ride on the Malaysia Peninsula. Compared to similar event last year with 147 participant riders, in this year 2007 the event was participated by 300 riders and 50 of them are Indonesian riders; 10 are Singaporean and 2 Germany. Of course, the rest are Malaysian riders, coming from all States in Malaysia. We have been invited officially by the Malaysian Government to participate in the tour to celebrate Malaysia 50 years of independence and this convoy was arranged by Superbikes Association of Malaysia (SAM).   

2007 – August : Bali Ride

Riding in Bali is always nice; small but good roads, beautiful beach view and mountain view, beautiful sunset, very unique and strong Bali traditional culture, etc..  Hm.. Bali is never boring place to go. Make use of Independence Day public holiday, a long weekend (17-19 August 2007), some Ducati Riders and their family enjoy 2 days ride (again) in Bali.
