need help buying a motorbike or car (second hand) in Sumatra, Indonesia

Interest forums / On Your Bike

Hello guys,
me and my boyfriend are travelling to Sumatra 21. of october till end of november. We want to go from Medan to Jakarta within 6 weeks and for this trip we need a motorbike (or two). Is there anybody around Sumatra this time to sell his bike or does anybody can give us some information where we can get a motorbike? Or maybe somebody even has some contacts in Medan who can help us out. We know already that we should try to get a second hand bike, because we can not register a new bike in our names. Or maybe somebody is selling a four-wheel drive car? We also would consider driving around Sumatra in a car. We really would appriciate your help.
Thanks a lot, Dani and Miri

A Ural motorbike with sidecar and two-wheel drive sounds perfect. Don't know where you can find one.

This is the place to look then ask if you can't find anything.
