Traveling on motorcycle in Yogyakarta can be reasonably challenging. Beforehand, you need to take notes on some points before you squeeze your handle to ride.
First, we ride on the left lane like in Japan, UK, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia. For you who live in a country drive on right, this might be need some time to get accustom to. However, your muscle memory can suddenly take you to a wrong move.
Secondly, some Indonesians don’t really go with the rules. You need to watch the road restlessly and be aware to anything that may come unexpectedly. You must be extra careful and better to ride not too fast.
When you plan to travel in mountainous area, better take manual clutch or semi manual motorcycle than a scooter since it will have more reliable engine-brake to help you reduce the speed when descending.
Last but not least, have your driver’s license ready.
So, if you’re aware to all those things, then it’s good to go exploring the wonderful Yogyakarta. You can rent a motorbike at Jogjatripper.
