There's always a first time for everything

Place: Ring Road Utara, Yogyakarta
Date: 27 October 2007
Time: 1845
Damage: Engine transmission and connector
People involved: Henry, Tudi, Fendy, Henry's friend and me


And yes, we still had the mood to pose for pictures

Lessons learnt:

1. Don't brake and try to change gear at the same time.
That WILL damage the engine transmission.


The remains of engine oil

2. 'Connections' are still important in Indonesia.
Apparently, someone had connections with the police department and evertything was 'settled'.

3. Men and soccer cannot be separated.
The accident did not deter us from continuing to play another hour of futsal after that.

4. Tow service in Indonesia takes a super long time.
Henry and the rest spent close to 2 hours calling for a tow service after dark.

5. Suzuki makes good car bodies but poor engine shock mechanisms.


Suzuki can really absorb the shock of the crash


The only visible damage: the number plate
