| Take a selfie at Paiton-Besuki Power Plant |
It was my first time to go on motorbike touring by myself in such a long distance. This single tour was my longest motorbike single tour journey so far.
 |
| My route |
There were no trouble at all on the road or from the bike. This almost 4 years old Honda CS1 125cc motorbike engines were awesome!. I only stop for fueling the gas, -/+ 4-5 hours ride, drinking a half tank w/ full throttle (110-122 km per hour).
Riding in the day and take a rest at dark. So I can still focus on the road. The weather was sunny and rainy. The north route of Java & South route Bali road was 75% in good condition aspal/concrete, 25% left was bad at that time.
I did this single motorbike touring in 2013.
DAY [1]
I started the journey at just before afternoon, forgot the exact time. Only bring 1 backpack, full face helmet, Jacket, rain coat, and 1 pair of sneekers.

| Salted eggs |
You should try it while you visit Tegal. This city produced fine quality of salted egg and home city of 'Warteg'. I reached Tegal city around 7 PM, check-in at local hotel called Hotel Maya, take a shower, sleep.
Day 1 Route : Bekasi ➡ Cikampek ➡ Indramayu ➡ Cirebon ➡ Brebes ➡ Tegal
DAY [2]
After breakfast, check-out, continue the Journey at 8 AM o'clock. Passing cities of Pemalang ➡ Pekalongan ➡ Semarang ➡ Kudus ➡ Pati ➡ Tuban (East Java) ➡ Lamongan ➡ Gresik ➡ ending in Surabaya city.
But after a long day, Surabaya treated me good with their local food. So I had a good sleep that night 👌.
The journey in day 2, especially the road when I enter the East Java Region, half of it were in bad condition. Exact location start from (Jalan Kragan - Rembang - Surabaya, Jalan Tuban - Semarang) untill Jalan Manunggal at that time.
DAY [3]
Had breakfast Nasi Goreng Surabaya at the hotel, it was delicious. My stomach full, body felt fresh, time to go.
One silly thing happened when I tried to escape from Surabaya city heading east to Sidoarjo. I've been riding around in circle at the same street over and over maybe 3 or 4 times just because my iPhone GPS were confuse, can't be accurate. It was my GSM card signal.

| Insane traffic in Sidoarjo |
While heading East to Banyuwangi, am passing a big pound of mud in Sidoarjo. It was a catrastrophe gas drilling causing crack on earth down there and unstoppable mud squirts from it.
Probolinggo
After refueling gasoline, not far after Kraksaan I decided to stop at PLTU Paiton-Besuki. It's a big power plant I've ever saw! Take a selfie a view times and continue the journey.

| a truck accident at Taman Nasional Baluran |
Baluran National Parks, passing thru with full throttle. Suddenly, a view meter in front of me there were an accident. A truck rolled transversely in the middle of the road. The driver and other passengers survived.
I reached at Ketapang port / ASDP Indonesia Ferry Ketapang-Gilimanuk around 1 PM. It takes 40 minutes crossing between Java & Bali island.
