Hi Peter,
Yeah mate, you can rent a bike without an international licence. However you have to spend a day in Denpasar with the guy you're renting it from to get a temporary Indonesian licence. You do a practical test then a written exam which is often completed by your Indonesian friend. The first time I actually failed the practical test which is simple. Silly me! But with an extra 10,000 Rp in the right hands I was off with a licence on a trip across to Lovina. Just tell the guy when you ask about renting and he'll organise it for you. Don't even contemplate driving around without the correct paperwork as the police have a tendency to target "rich" tourists.
Enjoy!!
Mitch
