For many travelers, Bali is that the unique island of the Gods, or the island of thousand temples. These are simply 2 of the nicknames, given to Bali by clever tourism marketing folks.

That sounds mysterious and exciting. And for many tourists it is enough to visit several temples, to admire the exotic charm of another world from the surface, and probably get pleasure from some cheap massages during a spa. On my 1st visit to Bali that is been enough on behalf of me additionally. however i used to be infected at constant time. a deadly disease had overwhelmed me. a scourge called Bali. Since those times I have been to Bali fairly often, have created many friends and experienced the "real", the initial Bali. The Bali beyond the illusory tourism-world.

For many years I stayed, whenever I even have been to Bali, with my Balinese adoptive family. I shared their everyday live. therefore I got very deep insights into the culture of the island. And then it happened, that I met the Balinese vespa.

Amazingly, there's a really attention-grabbing Vespa scene in Indonesia. this is as a result of in Java until the year 2001 Vespas were created. The old scooters are now usually taken over by "young guns" to arrange them. There are three fractions. the first tries to restore Vespas faithfully. in this scene, you can meet real beautyful scooters.

There are also two alternative styles of "scooterists": extreme and gembel. The "extreme" change their Vespas often thus, that you wouldn't imagine that there is still a vespa-engine in the heart of the newly fashioned vehicle. there's a range from "choppers" to a spread of trikes and even small cars.

The "Gembels" (the Indonesian word 'gembel' = terribly poor, ragged, torn down), however, attach utmost importance to their Vespas just ragged, torn, rusted and almost sort of a moving pile of garbage come back along. There are holes cut into the bodies and everything is omitted, that is not absolutely necessary. often have Gembel Vespas sidecars within the style of a platform with a bamboo roof, generally even the classic sidecar-form as permeable grid structure product of tubes welded together.

All this can be attainable as a result of a vehicle inspection by authorities is not performed. As long as there are papers within which the chassis range and engine variety are shown correctly, you can unscrew the vehicle plate of the "former" Vespa, merely place it on the redesigned vehicle - and nobody complains... Common to all scooteristsin Indonesia is, that they are organized in clubs where shut cohesion is practiced. And of course there are plenty of shared tours. Highlights are as in Europe, the large Vespa conferences.

We from Bali Vespa tour can give tourists the experience to affix tours with members of the local Vespa scene. Our guests can get deep into the Balinese culture on our visits (including mixed Vespa / trekking). they are available to places that alternative guests to Bali have rarely seen. And last however not least they're going to have several contacts with friendly locals who do not need to sell anything to the guest, because it happens elsewhere in the encounter between tourists and Balinese manner too often.
