But you ride a N Max, not sure that goes far with your "masculine "house of cards" look

Kakek Bolis wrote I got my new scooter on Monday, with a bit of luck the plates will be done by the time I get there. I'm looking forward to riding the hell out of it. Doing my usual crazy things like waking up in the morning and riding totally around the Bali coast line in the one day. Great fun..

The way I figure you're going to drive on your new scooter, you'll go so fast, you wont need plates. You'll go so fast, the cops wont have time to notice if you have plates or not...

Ok, my bad, I assumed we were a group of moderately intelligent grown ups. So let me break it down for the terminally slow of uptake: "[COLOR=rgb(0, 168, 133)]Absolutely![/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(61, 142, 185)]My entire masculine "house of cards" [/COLOR][COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]rests completely on the size of my motorscooter[/COLOR]." [COLOR=rgb(65, 168, 95)]Excessive positivism - denoting probable appearance or Sarcasm!!! [/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(61, 142, 185)]Indicating, in truth, a very shaky grasp on the subject [/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(147, 101, 184)]Clearly not true, indicating the dreaded appearance of Irony!!![/COLOR] I do hope my little explanation will make it easier for some of you to actively join in with adults when they are discussing "big - people" things

Kakek Bolis wrote Just a hello, nothing to say yet. Im retiring in 21 days, but whose counting. Have no idea where im going live in Bali yet. Too many places to choose from. Going to stay with a friend until my visa gets changed to the Kitas. Got my new scooter on order so hopefuly its ready when i arrive. So its nearly time to say goodbye to the old life and hello to the new life. Cheers Kakek Bolis

how exciting!! good luck

Well, according to the time frame previously indicated I presume Kakek Bolis is here by now. How has it worked out? And for Kimmarie.... it's a rather awful thread but a sobering one, if your future plans include scootering. https://balipod.com/forum/threads/sydney-man-killed-in-motorbike-accident.12926/

Do you have an international permit and a current motor cycle licence from your home country? Potentially an awful lot of grief if something goes wrong as without a licence or permit any insurance including health insurance becomes invalid. " I am now looking for a house to buy. " I trust you have read all the threads on house or land purchasing. A regular minefield but I guess you are aready aware of this.

Hi Harry It has worked out great moving to Bali. Its been 7 months now. Im getting a hold on bahasa indonesia but bahasa balinese is a bit harder. I have ridden bikes, now a scooter most of my life. I have ridden around Bali two times now clockwise and anti clockwise. I have friends in Singaraja i go there once a week for coffee. To ride around Bali in one day you dont have to go fast , you just dont stop. I guess i average around 50kmph to 60kmph it took 11 hours. Having a lot of fun in Bali. I am now looking for a house to buy. Ok cheetah Kakek Bolis

Hi, yes i have an Australia motor bike licence (49 years and riding for all those year) plus an Indonesian licence (Sim) Riding in Bali keeps you on your toes. Hehe Though Jkt and BBk is an experience riding around. Keeps the heart pumping. Hehe. Actually i find buying a house easy part. Finding the house is the hard part. I like the areas of Sempidi, Mengwi, Dalung, Gianyar and Bangli (Apuan). My bank is my notaris and my old friend of 39 years Nyoman will have his name on the title and the house is his when i die. What im trying to find now is where i can find good medical place. Want to have a PSA Test and get a good Urologist. I need 12 month check up to make sure the cancer is still at bay. I dont want to spend lots of money going back to Australia for this. Ok Cheers Hope you had a nice Christmas. Kakek Bolis

Nice thing to do for your friend.

Oh thank you for saying that Sam. I do believe we all should help people if we can small all big

The house is his when you put his name on the title. Some wonderful "friendships" have come to a screeching halt for much less. You might want to reconsider how you do it...

Yes i am fully aware the house will be Nyoman's. The title deeds will be kept in the my safety doposit box. Our friendship has stood the test of time for 39 years. Why should i reconsider my decision We have trust But thank you for your input. Damn 50 minutes more and im older. Crapy day for a birthday. Hehehe

Oh yes, just got back from a tour around Lombok, Flores and Sumba. Unfortunately before it had rained in either place so was quite brown in places.

Keeping the title deeds in your strong box is only marginally protective. To get a new certificate issued your "friend" need only go to the police and report the old one stolen. You will not be informed of the change. I would suggest a "belt and braces" solution by also creating a long term leasehold agreement - that at least is enforceable in law here.

You are a very negative person. You never have anything nice to say. Plus it seems you have friends who would do this to you or maybe you do to them. My friends are honest. Your opinions are unwelcomed

Kakek Bolis. "..... Call me a silly old fool. But thats just the way i am. ..." Do you really want to be called that? I ask because as an Australian we would prefer to say "silly old bugger." But then... aren't we all?

mugwump wrote Concerning a good urologist could recommend one in S'pore as a patient. Understand the desire to manage funds, but with something that important it is smart to get quality.

Is it not expensive to go to Singapore. Flight, accommodation and the urologist. When I have my check up I normally have to do 3 days urine samples and one kidney scan then comes the cystoscopy at the clinic. Do you do the same? If so then i am interested in the cost and the urologist. Cheers

Kakek, Markit is, how can I best put it, a colourful fellow for sure, but as someone once said of Donald Trump, I don't like him, I didn't vote for him, but that doesn't mean he is wrong about everything. Putting a lease in place which gives you an unquestionable legal right of abode for the property is very sound advice . It is not expensive and protects you (and your heirs) from all manner of adverse outcomes beyond a hypothetical breakdown in the friendship between you and the nominee. I have witnessed both successful and failed nominee agreements, and the common thread that seems to lead to failure is extreme financial distress on the part of the nominee. It takes uncommon strength of character to let yourself drown when a lifeboat is bobbing beside you just meters away even if it belongs to your friend. Let us however simply accept that your friendship with the nominee as sacrosanct and presents no risk . Let us assume that you have taken steps to ensure there is no risk should your friend (God forbid) pass away or become incapacitated, that the house is left to you (giving you 1 year to find a new legal owner) or that your friends heirs are willing and financially able to pass up owning a very valuable property on the basis of a generally considered illegal nominee agreement that they were not party to. Let us now assume the Government does not decide to intervene as they indicated the might back in 2015 when the Agrarian minister triggered the so called nominee crisis by declaring that they would systematically and proactively cross reference ownership, tax and residence information to work out the relationship between the person staying at a property and its rightful legal owner. In such cases where they found a nominee relationship, they proposed they would tear it up. I don't know that they ever followed up on this, I suspect not but who is to say this may be proposed again in the future. If all of the above assumptions are true then you will be just fine. If not, well then only you can determine the impact on your future. Just my penny's worth. All the best & Happy New Year
