I did hire a bike for 2 days prior to coming home this week.S'pose like most Aussies-I'm a lazy pri*k at home but when there I'll walk for up to 2 hours per day and luvvit.I rarely hire so I didnt take my driving license last trip but was not questioned when hiring-didnt need to show my P/port just hired.Like the schoolies I saw en mass riding-In the year of their 17th birthday all on bikes,some Indo style-3 on one bike.What percentage of these would hold a M/cycle license? Max 5% perhaps...add this to drinking and,sadly,how many may not make it back home?The Aussie/Indo Govts should step in here and regulate this potential waste of young lives.I'm 55, have held a 'big' bike license since I was 18 and even I was hesitant about hiring in Bali for my last 2 days.
