For many travelers, Bali is that the distinctive island of the Gods, or the island of thousand temples. These are just two of the nicknames, given to Bali by clever tourism marketing people.

That sounds mysterious and exciting. And for many tourists it is enough to go to several temples, to admire the exotic charm of another world from the outside, and probably get pleasure from some low-cost massages in an exceedingly spa. On my 1st visit to Bali that's been enough for me also. however i used to be infected at a similar time. a pandemic had overwhelmed me. a plague known as Bali. Since those times I even have been to Bali very 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 have been to Bali, with my Balinese adoptive family. I shared their everyday live. therefore I got terribly deep insights into the culture of the island. And then it happened, that I met the Balinese vespa.

Amazingly, there's a very fascinating Vespa scene in Indonesia. this is as a result of in Java till the year 2001 Vespas were made. The old scooters are currently typically taken over by "young guns" to prepare them. There are three fractions. the first tries to revive Vespas faithfully. in this scene, you can meet real beautyful scooters.

There also are 2 alternative sorts of "scooterists": extreme and gembel. The "extreme" amendment their Vespas typically so, that you wouldn't imagine that there's still a vespa-engine within the heart of the newly formed vehicle. there is a variety from "choppers" to a range of trikes and even small cars.

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

All this is often potential as a result of a vehicle inspection by authorities is not performed. As long as there are papers during which the chassis number and engine number are shown properly, you'll unscrew the registration number plate of the "former" Vespa, merely put it on the redesigned vehicle - and nobody complains... Common to any or all scooteristsin Indonesia is, that they are organized in clubs where close cohesion is practiced. And after all there are many shared tours. Highlights are as in Europe, the large Vespa meetings.

We from Bali Vespa tour offers tourists the experience to affix tours with members of the native Vespa scene. Our guests can get deep into the Balinese culture on our visits (including mixed Vespa / trekking). they come to places that different guests to Bali have rarely seen. And last but not least they're going to have many contacts with friendly locals who don't wish to sell anything to the guest, as it happens elsewhere within the encounter between tourists and Balinese way too often.
