Java – THE MOVIE: The Ultimate Motorcycle Adventure – 1,900 KMs / 53 Days from Jakarta to Bali

Here it is, FINALLY – Our first ever MOVIE! 🎬

This full-length, cinematic movie covers our motorcycle adventure across Java, Indonesia. We ride 1,900 kilometers (about 1,200 miles) from end to end of the island, starting in Jakarta, where we purchase our motorcycle, a Bajaj Pulsar 220. From there, we zig zag for 53 days, all the way to a ferry in Bali, having countless literal and figurative ups and downs along the way.

From bouts of sickness, to motorcycle breakdowns, to riding through the ash of active volcanoes, we see and do it all.

So sit back, grab some popcorn🍿, and experience all the struggles, beauty, and laughter along with us in this complete movie-version of our travels across Java, Indonesia.

  1. Thanks for full filling my desire to ride motorcycle accros my own land Java, it was amazing video, thank you so much.

  2. 1:25:15 As an Indonesian that going work with motorcycle hours everyday. I can say that the one that i anticipated (to make dangerous move) the most on the road is buses and elderly people. It can be very stressful sometimes so make sure you have to be careful if you drive around them

  3. I think I'm late to discover this channel, but I wanted to express my appreciation for your travel coverage.
    Thank you for visiting Indonesia, there are still many beautiful places full of local wisdom that you can explore, hopefully our fellow countrymen will not disappoint you and we are always open to your presence, hopefully you will get a message of peace during your trip in our country, hopefully Indonesia will give you beautiful impressions and memories in your life.

    once again thank you for the coverage you made

  4. Kalau orang luar negeri ke Afrika, mereka cuma mendapati hewan-hewan padang sabana, kalau mereka ke Mesir cuma mendapati peradaban kuno seperti Piramida, tapi jika mereka ke Indonesia mereka dapatkan semuanya dalam satu negara bahkan lebih dari itu yang mereka dapatkan kenikmatan pemandangan mata yang hanya ada di Indonesia, peradaban kuno, hewan pun bahkan langka seperti Komodo cuma ada satu-satunya Indonesia, bahkan mereka dapat pantai yang hangat dan membiru, pergi ke pegunungan mereka dapatkan kesejukan seperti udara Eropa tapi hijau sepanjang tahun tanpa kenal empat musim, mereka bahkan dapatkan makanan dan minuman yang enak-enak dan murah, Indonesia terkenal ramah penduduknya dan aman untuk warga luar negeri baik yang berpetualang apalagi yang memilih menetap tinggal di Indonesia, kurang apalagi di Indonesia, kita saja yang kurang bersyukur

  5. baru ini lihat video journey yang panjang dan tuntas,.. ditunggu journey selanjutnya … success ..

  6. ❤❤❤❤❤,🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🌄🌄🌄🌄✨✨✨✨✨

  7. Terimakasih sudah berkeliling di Jawa . Saya sebagai orang suku Jawa sendiri belum sempat untuk mengelilingi pulau kelahiran saya sendiri.

    Semoga , disuatu saat nanti saya pun bisa berkeliling di pulau jawa ini bersama keluarga . Seperti yang anda lakukan. Aamiin

  8. as indigenous indonesian origin and one who rides motorbike everywhere I go. I must say you are really brave to ride motorbike in Indonesia as the traffic is highly dense, especially throughout Java island. I maybe not an adventurous person as you both are. I will take more days to observe the traffic and traffic culture before start riding in new places around Indonesia, because as our language, culture and ethnicities, traffic around Indonesia has various style and unwritten rules, cultures and policies (please correct me if I'm wrong).
    and watching your videos is a breathtaking, nice editing and amazing quality of the video. I love it, it's like watching movie. Greetings from Malang, enjoy your epic adventure throughout the country

  9. To explore Java, Indonesia you have to use a roadworthy vehicle or a newer one will be safer.
    especially if the motorbike is overloaded.
    Be safe and enjoy my country ❤❤

  10. Kenapa dia pake motor itu, seharusnya dia memakai motor keluaran terbaru versy 250, lebih aman tidak khawatir di jalan

  11. Amazing movie 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️❤️❤️
    I proud as Indonesiana thanks a lot bro 🙏🏽 Finally your film journey with a long winding & danger road is succeded. Congratulation ❤❤❤

  12. In mount Bromo you must wake up in the morning if not you can not get the best view of mounth Bromo and the sea sand

  13. >Get out of jakarta, somehow.

    yeah, I get that feeling, I once went from north jakarta into a swampy land of kermit the frog.

  14. thanks for this video…..I really enjoyed watching this video until the end…T U for exploring my indonesia….

  15. Saya tidak melihat jakarta hanya pinggiran Jakarta…dan Pulsar bukan motor yang bagus…

  16. Again you guys nailed it I can't thank you enough for what you guys have brought me, this is a two hour plus experience that anyone can enjoy. Oh, I'm so melted I will definitely miss Java Island always thanks to you guys. Once again thank you for your hard work ❤
