Indonesia is made up of more than 17,000 islands. Mark Fosdick and a couple of mates set out to ride around Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa and Flores, with a detour to Komodo to see dragons.

John, Tony and I hired three Honda CRF150s (big, flashy bikes which invariably attracted a crowd) in Denpasar, Bali, for 25 days. The bikes were fitted with luggage racks and phone holders and weren’t particularly comfortable, but they proved to be reliable and suitable for the rough Indonesian roads.
