I have ridden motorcycles in Bali 10 times and I have an unlimited Australian motorcycle license.
I have never bothered with getting a Bali motorcycle license.
The wording of my gold Mastercard insurance policy states:
'We do not insure you for any event that is caused by or arises from.....
your participation in motor cycling, unless: -
a) it involves a hired motorcycle with an engine capacity of 200 cc or less; and
b) you are the driver;
and you hold a current Australian motorcycle licence; and
you are also licensed (if a licence is required) to drive the motorcycle in the country you are in;
but we never cover any event that is caused by or arises
from motorcycle racing; or any act of terrorism;'
I have been stopped many times by the Polisi in Bali and they always wave me on when they see the stamp in my International Drivers Permit, certifying that I have a current Australian motorcycle licence.
