Can you get around by motorbike in Jakarta even when the automobile traffic is gridlocked, like in Kuta/Denpasar, or is it just suicide to try?
It's suicidal, and you'll be struck in the traffic as well. Why would you want to get around anyway ?!? ..... there is absolutely nothing to do in JKT during the day except strolling around in the malls or lounging at your hotel's swimming pool. To reiterate, in JKT you want to stay in a place with a nice pool and near Plaza Senayan/FX/Senayan City Mall. Period.
