Kaskus x Federal Oil Touring Bikin Bangga Indonesia
No doubt, Indonesia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. A lot of tourists admit it and regularly travel to Indonesia. So many cities have their unique sides from culture to its nature. As we know, from the old times, our ancestors taught us to appreciate cultural heritage. That is why if you visit Java Island, Kalimantan Island, Sulawesi Island, Sumatera Island, and Papua, you always find something new and different from each city. From food, people, even their habits.
Rideventure will bring you an unique experience about how to enjoy the beautiful side of Indonesia. It is a collaboration between Federal Oil and Kaskus Networks as the largest community in Indonesia. Basically, Rideventure wants to take you directly from the street with a motorcycle and feel the joy of diversity in every city that we visit. This touring is called #PerjalananBikinBanggaIndonesia which means journey that made Indonesia proud.
Federal Oil itself is a large oil company in the world. They have a global market with an International standard. Federal Oil carries the vision of becoming a lubricant blending and packaging company that meets international standards. For this reason, meeting product specifications based on the specified technical requirements is an absolute price.
The collaboration between Kaskus Networks and Federal Oil in Rideventure was a proof of how both brands really want to listen to what customers want and need. This event was also followed by a new product launch by Federal Oil named Federal Oil Racing. Alitt Susanto and Fadel Muhammad are the two public figures that Kaskus brought to Rideventure. They are moto lovers and enthusiasts.
Rideventure series of trips will start from May 16-22th, 2022. Starting from the starting point in Jakarta, Jogja, Malang, and ending in Bali. In Jogja, the riders will check points at Muntilan and feel the sensation of the beauty of Mount Merapi and the exoticism of Menoreh Hill. Continuing the trip to Malang, Bromo became the second stopover. Then, the final destination is the Island of the Gods, Bali.
The team that are follow #PerjalananBikinBanggaIndonesia touring was came from Kaskus community. Which include Alitt Susanto and Fadel Muhammad with 10 others moto enthusiasts. The uniqueness come from how they brought different motorcycles from each rider. Fadel Muhammad that used matic motorcycle and Alitt Susanto used sport motorcyle.
First of all, Rideventure started in Jakarta specifically at Kaskus Networks office in Kuningan, South Jakarta. Kaskus Networks and Federal Oil made a celebration that indicated the kick off of Rideventure Touring activities. Kaskus Networks and Federal Oil invited several people and many communities to join and celebrate the event. Touring activities will be more fun if done together. The essence of family and friendship can be summarised in one trip.
The release of all riders to start the touring was pretty epic and unforgettable. They convoyed together in Jakarta and then after it finished, they immediately began touring. With a total of 11 riders, of course each of them used Federal Oil! First destination is the city that never sleeps, Yogyakarta! The Rideventure teams stay at one of most enchanting lodging. Not only the architecture, but also the owner is part of the Rideventure team which will follow the tour from Yogyakarta. So, as you guessed it, he has a lot of motorcycle collections in his villa. The villa is called ‘Ndalem Sabrang Lor’. Riders can rest well there while looking at the motorcycle collection.
Kaskus Networks and Federal Oil arranged a night event exclusively for them with a bonfire and delicious food. After a long way of touring, it must be nice for riders to have a chit chat with each other and prepare for the next day to explore a new city. In the morning, riders got a chance to discover breathtaking views from Merapi Mountain! To get the view, they have to survive a really extreme road with their motorcycle. From up, down, up to steep paths.
After having a fun time at Merapi Mountain, riders continue their journey to Ngisis Hill or Indonesian usually called it ‘Puncak Ngisis Nglinggo’. An unpredictable thing happened! Alitt Susanto and Fadel Muhammad meet Ngisis Hill owner. His name is Erix Soekamti. With the beautiful scenery of tea gardens it makes guests really enjoy it there. It felt homey but also had a unique vibe that was different from other places. Sipping a good coffee from Kopi Suroloyo is the third itinerary for riders.
Yogyakarta really has a special place in Rideventure touring team, but they have to carry on to next city, Malang! The journey is getting more and more unpredictable. In the early morning, they prepared and leave Yogyakarta so they could arrive in Malang on time. Riders have to spend more than a seven hour road trip to get there. But, of course, with a breathtaking view. With mountains, beaches, and the rare culture from native people from every city.
When they arrive at Malang, riders visit a must-see destination in East Java, Bromo! Bromo Mountain is one of the most popular places in East Java. It is known for the cold vibes, horse riding, massive green savanna, and sunrise. Ending #BikinBanggaIndonesia today by staying overnight at Cemara Indah which is one of the closest accommodations to Bromo. You just have to leave the room to see the beauty of Mount Bromo!
In the morning, riders will go to Teletubbies Hill that is located in Mount Bromo as well. It looked like a massive green savanna with so many varieties of plants. It is not just about the view and scenery that they got, but also the experience with riding hundreds of kilometres with people that just met. After finishing in Malang, riders prepared for the big day which is across the ocean to Bali. They are boarding ships from Ketapang to Gilimanuk.
Touch down at Bali, Rideventure team rest at Bedugul. The next day, they had to visit Black Lava which is a really cool spot. And then it’s time for the big event at Wyndham Jivva Resort for Closing Ceremony. Event starts with a Bali traditional dance called ‘Pendet Dance’. Family bond that is formed while touring together is really deep in the closing ceremony. With some of Bali’s motorcycles that came, Federal Oil team, and Kaskus Networks team, we shared stories about how this trip really open a new opportunity for everyone.
How they got to know each other outside work life and really just talked about their hobbies and motorcycle. This closing ceremony also presents Sir Sri Adinegara as Federal Oil Market Development Director and Sir Audrey Sianturi as Kaskus Networks Community Director. Following the sharing session, teams got a delicious dinner together by the beach. It was a really fun and warm night to end Rideventure #BikinBanggaIndonesia journey. Hope to see you again in other chance.
