Ant's Sumatran Adventure

[robbieb]

$100 a week for a bike is still better than $150+ a day. Cheap holiday.

Thanks for posting up

Thanks Johnny M, kind words.

High in the mountains of West Sumatra I find this

And this

Premier? and a Kingswood

Ant...what a yarn, mate!
Only got up to page 7 or 8 before, will have to catch up on this over the next few days.
What an effort...and what a story!! Love those shots and the story-telling is superb. Bravo!! :bow:

Thanks Glitch! Was a blast but great to be home, even though telstra has screwed up my internet access... my XT seemed like a bloody whale after riding a 220cc bike for a month, but a few rides shrunk it back down to regular size.

Looking forward to seeing folks on a ride soon.

Been a while since I visited this thread so there was a bit of a catch-up, had to go back and re-read some posts, but it was worthwhile.

What a story, what an adventure - thanks for sharing.

I enjoyed reading every little bit of your trip, Ant. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Guys, given that Photobucket wants actual money from me to link to images I'm going through this thread and relinking to Google images.

I'm adding new photos that I missed out here. Makes me wish I was back on that trip - although Glitch and I are cooking up another Southeast Asian group adventure ride sometime in the next year or so, so stay tuned.

Here's a taste.

HMMMMM...strangely the links seem to work in this thread (pics showing), but not in the NZ-thread.
Weird.

Anyway...great to see them again, I'll have a re-read of the whole yarn over the rest of the weekend.
