Day 14

While I was waiting for the Road King to clear Customs a special motorcycle outing was organised by Ps Wayan fro C3 Church in Bali. Wayan dream is to own a Harley, he went out and hired 2 Harley’s for the day; a V Rod and a Sportster. He let me have the V Rod, way to go Wayan.

Seven of met up for a ride in the Bali country side, we headed straight for the Kintamani Volcanoe, after a brief sop we headed back to Ubud for lunch and then back to Denpasar.

On arrival back I was greated by the new that a letter of recommendation was not required and a bond was now required. Despite my protests and that I had a Carnet de Passage for this very reason, Customs advised that they had changed the regulations and that they do not recognise the Carnet. It would appear that the Indonesian Customs had not advised Governing Body of the Carnet in Switzerland as the Automobile Association in Australia the issuing body in Australia did not seem to be aware.

As Government Offices in Bali close at 3:00pm on Friday the chance of release would have to wait until Monday.
