My last video from the island of Lombok, Indonesia and it certainly did NOT go as planned.

Renting a motorbike is always risky business in Southeast Asia for many reasons. One of which is that most of them don't insure their rental bikes so you are completely responsible for anything bad that happens to it.
Don't make the same mistakes I did. Watch the video to see what happens and how you can avoid a similar situation.

Dude my motorbike got stolen in Lombok as well!!! Literally went out for a surf and two hours later it had been picked up and walked away with. Same situation with the insurance as well. I feel your pain brother! Hope it didn't hit the wallet as hard as it did me. Best of luck on the rest of your travels!

lol I love how your intro sounds scary right after you're like "I'm not sure what to do." Haha you should be smug. I like getting away from the tourists, too.
Ahhh your surfing footage is dope!!! I've been loading for 30 minutes and that's as far as I got. No idea why it's so slow...Netflix is instant! Not fair. I'd rather watch your video haha.
So uhhhh now I don't know what happened with your bike. #cliffhanged
Come back to Indonesia for a redo!
BTW, found out dlive loads faster... ::shrugs::

Dtube has been struggling the past couple days, I think. Hopefully they get it fixed soon.
If you want to see what happened after surfing you can see it here.

I'm not sure why it's different in Lombok. I'm sure I'm not the only one this has happened to. Thanks for the follow.

it' different in Lombok because 1) it is less populated than Bali 2) They are not Hindus who believe in Karma. Most criminals in Bali come from other islands...

For sure @daveonarrival. We tried renting a motor bike when we went to the island of Bohol Philippines. Plenty of locals and foreigners used rented motor bike 🏍.

Sorry you had this big trouble but I'm glad you at least found the little secret spot in Selong Belanak ;) Unfortunately, this happens often in South Lombok as well as robberies. This place is still like a wild west and luckily, nothing happend to me until now, even I was driving around there a lot. In the future I will be more careful in the south of Lombok - seems like after years this is still happening or getting even worse :(

I'd heard of robberies and scams but didn't imagine they would rob my bike. Hopefully it gets better.

I really hope so! The south is so beautiful but it's dangerous for tourists. Have you noticed any police presence during your stay? I heard that the government wants to increase police manpower in Kuta area. Somehow I can't believe that...

I didn't notice any. That'd probably be good if they did.
