JAKARTA – Jakarta has just witnessed how strong the attraction of custom culture and creativity that flows organically. A community journey that started on the Island of the Gods, Bali, finally set foot in the capital as part of a series of long cross-city tours in Indonesia.
Not just a vehicle show, the event titled Kumpul-Kumpul Ride has a mission to celebrate freedom of expression. Jakarta also transformed into a temporary host, absorbing the energy of automotive lovers and art activists who overflowed in one frequency.
The commotion started in the afternoon. The procession of participants moved from the Menteng area, dividing the density of Jakarta with a natural flowing formation.
This journey ends in a creative space in the Kemang area, where the motor machines rest, but the pulse of activity is getting stronger.
At this location, visitors are treated to a view of a row of custom motorcycles with various design approaches – from the functional to the bizarre and artistic. Not only two wheels, the car community also came together, proving that despite different mediums, the spirit carried is still one: boundless enthusiasm.
The entertainment side is the main spirit of this event. Throughout the afternoon, visitors were spoiled with live pinstriping and open sketch sessions that captured the dynamics of the moment directly on the canvas. This visual touch confirms that the motor culture cannot be separated from the world of fine art.
As the night goes on, the atmosphere gets hotter with the presence of performers behind the turntable. Names such as Muklay, Philipponk, and Diskopantera take turns filling the atmosphere with a selection of songs that trigger the mood.
At its peak, Merrman’s live performance was a sweet and powerful closing for the series of events in Jakarta.
Jakarta is just one point on a larger travel map. After bringing the atmosphere to the capital, this community group is preparing to continue their adventures towards West Java and Central Java, specifically visiting Bandung and Yogyakarta.
This long journey is planned to end at the original point, namely at their enthusiasm ‘temple’ in Canggu, Bali. Through this activity, the message that wants to be conveyed is very clear: that in a community, the process of doing something together is much more valuable than just having a status symbol.
The local custom scene has once again proven that they are not just a passing trend, but a culture that continues to move and adapt to the local character of each region they visit.
