Its ok as their research shows that sitting side saddle means that only rarely do any women fall off as opposed to virtually never when sat correctly.

Indonesia is not an Islamic state although 86% of its population of 237 million are Muslim. Some regions are Christian, Hindu (e.g. Bali) or Buddhist and it is the Buddhist and Hindu relgions that define much of the country's culture.

The province of Aceh with a population of just 4 million people is the only Sharia region of Indonesia (this is where the stupid motorcycle law is in place) while the majority of Muslims are Sunni so not prone to extremist laws, views etc.

Oh and before you ask I work out there about twice a year so know a little bit about it.

Now I think about it wasn't it you who told me I wasn't allowed an opinion on the idiots in N.I. rioting over a flag flying edict because I didn't live there.... seems you don't practice what you preach!

Before they send leaflets out saying this is going to be illegal they need to sort out the laws of licences to drive, drive properly and stop bathing pooing and putting dead people in the river everyone drinks from!

"He added that passengers who sat side-saddle rarely fell off." Top comment, and no mention of what happens when they do fall off!
Here are a few similarly apt observations:
Passengers who don't wear seat belts rarely go through the windscreen
Drivers who jump stop signals at railway crossings rarely get hit by trains
Anglers fishing in thunder storms with carbon rods rarely get struck by lightning
Plenty of others I'm sure

N.I has seen some very dark times, and still has some issues.
However, it doesn't invent rules that prevent women from straddling a bike
