Day 18 - Denpasar - Tuesday 23rd March

The word was out, it would appear that the entire Harley Davidson community was trying all there contacts to have this motorcycle released from Customs. This included the HD President in Jakarta.

A meeting was arranged with;
Kadek, Operations Manager HD Bali
A.A.A.Arimbawa; President HOG Bali
Tamyani; Vice President HOG Bali Chapter

They tried all their contacts, even the head of Customs in Bali, who incidently is a Harley rider and while he could possibly get a release in Bali, he indicated that I could have problems when I tried to leave Indonesia from another location.

I was also advised that Malaysia had introduced similar regulations recently, so essentially I could have the same problem there.

I made the decision to ship the bike to UK and by pass Asia all together.

I must thank Harley Davidson Indonesia and all the HOG Chapters that were trying to help with the bike release and trying to plan my trip through Indonesia.
