I rode around the Candi Dasa area in February this year. I would not recommend that novices ride there.
The main street of Candi Dasa is on the main highway through through eastern Bali. Many trucks travel this highway. Some of the hazards I faced included:
* a semi trailer carrying heavy plant smashing its way through the branches above and scattering leaves and tree limbs over the riders behind it;
* a large police road block checking all riders for licenses and helmets; and
* the locals do not use indicators.
