My wife and I are in our early 50's and we hired a scooter this time around (Rp40,000 plus Rp10,000 'insurance'...).
As long as you are smart (get yourself in a pack for safety), stick behind a car/truck, only creep forward past cars/trucks when they are stopped you should be right.
It was very convenient, saved us heaps on Taksi's (only hired driver one day for trip into Denpassar as we were bringing home 10kgs of fabric).
We went as far as suburban Kerobokan and way out past north of Sanur.
As my wife said...she felt 'alive'.
I said 'You never feel so alive...as when you are close to death!'
We will definately do it again.
