The PAN-ASEAN TOURING "IT'S EXCITING!" that started from Yogyakarta on November 20 finally arrived at its final destination in Indonesia, Medan at 4:00 in the afternoon on Dec. 8. Touring through one city after another, the riders and staff gradually came to function together like a true team as they neared the goal, riding distances of over 300 km each day without mishap of problems. (In fact, they often had to ride far more than 300 km to reach a place with lodging!)
As this stalwart group pressed on there was not a single person complaining and no one getting sick, because everyone was determined to make it all the way to Medan, to make the tour a success and prove that the JUPITER MX (T135) had the potential to make it through the roughest road conditions and the all kinds of bad weather. By the way, in every town we toured through the reputation of the JUPITER MX (T135) was incredibly high. Everyone praised its power and stylish good looks. Users were all proud of their JUPITER MX (T135) because it always takes them where they want to go even through puddles and dirt roads. So when these owners saw the PAN-ASEAN TOURING "IT'S EXCITING!" team come touring by on the same bike as their own, they always waved or called out to us.
As the tour made its way through the islands of Java and Sumatra, we learned about the people, the nature and the culture of Indonesia. At the same time the tour showed the appeal of the JUPITER MX (T135) to a lot of people.
The PAN-ASEAN TOURING "IT'S EXCITING!" team will gather together once again in February of next year to begin the Thai leg of the journey, starting in the capital, Bangkok, and touring around the country for two weeks. Several of the present riders will continue on the Thai leg, and everyone is full of expectations about what lies ahead in Thailand. But until then they have some time to rest. See you all again!
