Last year, I rode up to Budakeling which is a small village with several blacksmith forges making simple implements.
From Budakeling, I rode up the slopes of Gunung Agung passing quarries where lava is dug out. The road soon petered out and the slope became steeper. I kept changing down the gears to climb the volcano until I finally gave up.
I turned the bike around and headed back down the slope. I was going too fast and I grabbed the front brake causing the front wheel to skid and flinging me over the handle bars. Surveying the damage, I noted that my leg had been cut deeply in two places, the handle bars were bent, as was the footpeg and the brake pedal. I then rode to a bengkel in Budakeling where they fixed the bike.
