Moving in May

Kakek Bolis

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. CheersKakek Bolis

Kakek Bolis

Yeah, its not a bad place for the old days....

It's not the place for anyone that's full of "get-up-and-go" to move mountains and be dynamic but my getupandgo got-up-and-left about mid 50 so I while away the days enjoying what they bring with no particular push to achieve anything much...

Kakek Bolis

Lucky you. Very jealous. I'll be lucky to get there this year, maybe 2020[/QUOTE]Hi Dominique 2020 is not far away today is my last working, now heading into retirement. 4 more weeks I will be in Bali.

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..[/QUOTE]No need to wait for the permanent plates to be issued before driving, as the police now issue temporary plates painted out in white, which can be used til the permanent ones arrive.

Kakek Bolis

Hi Mark thanks yes I already have white plates. My friend in Bangli got them.

Most dealers are the same price.What I do is see who has the less waiting time for delivery. Normally 2 to 10 days delivery. The Vario is a good bike as you seen my earlier reply I have just bought a new PCX. The PCX is more comfortable for my big bum. Hehe cost 3.5 juta . Also I can put 37 cans of beer under the seat with ice. OK that's my pennies worth of advise. Have fun.

I'm after a Honda Vario 150cheers[/QUOTE]Don't do it! Everyone I know that's moved on from a Vario to the full sized (for Bule) Nmax swear by the change and the money isn't that different. Add to that ABS brakes and what could be better?

The Vario is a good work horse you can put a bag of cement in the guts and hooks to hold the shopping bag.I pick up the Yamaha Verox 155cc bigger wheels and dual shocks on the rear, still use the honda as a work horse

Markit

Correct but you look like a Praying Mantis fucking a stone. Get a big bike and look like a "MAN". or summit.

Do you really need such a prole bike to look " like a man" ? ?[/QUOTE]Absolutely! My entire masculine "house of cards" rests completely on the size of my motorscooter.
