It just everytime I log onto the forum these days someone is whinging or having a go at someone. I still don't know if the post below about Javenese is fake or if the person really didn't explain themselves properly.
The one about taking mace to Java and the attacks on Tuberose are pathetic by those idiots.
I agree that the motor bike question gets hammered by people who should just shut their mouth, its the same as the Melka topic (this will probaly start something). For example: I don't want Martha Tillar products, so I don't get involved. Why others don't just do the same, I have no idea, I suppose they just like to cause trouble.
I reacted to the bike question because I knew you would cop crap as always and I tried to post a positive response from someone who has done a lot of bike riding.
It will get to a point on this forum where none of the experienced Bali travellers will post and it will be full of idiots having a go a one another (dont get me wrong, I am not refering to you here).
As far as the insurance question goes, my opinion is this. I always get the check boxed ticked by the owner. It maybe fake, I hope I never have to find out. They always say extra Rp 5,000 per day for insurance, then I tell them no and they give it to me included in the cost of the bike. Can't hurt to have the box ticked for free is my take on it.
