#montly topic . Journey as hijab rider

Assalamualaikum fellow local guides , !

I’m posting again here with connect and let me save puzzle of my journey with motorbike .

In Indonesia , motorbike very popular transportation . Simple , cheap, efecien , that’s why becoming my hobby travelling with motorbike , Honestly my true reason why my hobby travelling with motorbike because i don’t have my own car on a movie someone riding sport motorbike always look so cool but after trying riding by my self not always cool I feels so so LOL . Actually girl riding sport motorbike not too much in my place and that’s challenge for me because when I solo travelling to remote area much of eyes looking at me like stranger and girl trip alone very unpopular ,weird . The old stereotype ,good girl is girl stay at home

My friends called me hijab biker ( hijab mean using covering head as a muslim and that’s Indonesia culture also ) riding motorbike is my daily transportation so I can go anywhere anytime riding motorbike . One times I touring with motorbike club from Tangerang ,Banten Province. , I’m not part of motorbike club but I know them really well .Their motorbike club touring to my town and I’m as guide for their club during the touring . I introduce touring route to

Geopark Ciletuh Palabuhanratu
https://maps.app.goo.gl/Adbk9nSyszCdrWg27

And

Puncak Gebang
https://maps.app.goo.gl/ytBwxeZSD42b8VgK9

And yeahh I’m the only one girl between dozen of men’s rider seriously the one and only girl ha ha

By the way during the solo touring with my motorbike my partner is Google maps but much times I lost the route and still I’m asking to local people , I don’t like looking screen of maps during the riding because break my focus as good rider,so I keep my phone on my backpack .,when I cant find people I stop my motorbike bike open my backpack and looking route to google maps . Two of type my lost route actually . First travelling to village or remote area the challenge is lost route because road only one no much sign no board , sometimes road missing because covered by grass so look like garden and second is when travelling to big city confused because too much sign to much route and rules so complicated so the ending of my travelling is ask to local people , even Google maps In my hand .

Very nice and well-written @Nyainurjanah . Your post is as good as you are a good motorbiker. Motorbike is also popular among young male people in our country. Very recent girls have started riding the bike which is increasing day by day. You can use a mobile holder attached with the handle of the bike so that you can easily see the map while driving. By the way, I cannot drive a motorbike :grinning: :grinning: . Thanks.

Hola @Nyainurjanah primero que nada felicitaciones por ser la única motociclista femenina en Indonesia, seguro que con el tiempo y tus aportes esto podrá ir cambiando y podrán aparecer mas chicas como tu que les gusta recorrer las rutas en motos.

y también felicitaciones por el gran trabajo en Google Maps con tus aportes.

Saludos Farid
