Led by “Aniki of Bali” Takatoshi Maruo — subject of the book & film “Kamisama wa Bali ni iru”
Under the Bali sky — Aniki, friends and Harleys.
FROM OUR YOUTUBE
OUR BOSS
THE GHOST is led by Takatoshi Maruo — known across Japan as "Aniki of Bali". Born in Osaka, he arrived in Bali with nothing and built his success as an entrepreneur. His life inspired books and a feature film.
What Aniki values above money or fame is ninjo — human warmth. When a friend is in trouble, he shows up. When a friend succeeds, he laughs with them. That way of living keeps drawing people to Bali.
THE GHOST is the Harley team Aniki founded with his friends. Together with the rumble of the engines, that spirit rides across Bali.
ANIKI'S WORDS
Meeting people is everything. Treasure every single one you meet.

WHO WE ARE
No borders, no titles, no age. Once you're on a Harley, we all ride the same wind.
Over 73 riders and counting — from Japan, from Bali, from around the world. Different jobs, different ages, one flag.
🇯🇵 🇮🇩 🇹🇭 🇲🇾 🇩🇪 🇦🇺 🇫🇷
Every month we ride: the west Bali coastline, rice terraces and temples — the island's most stunning routes, in formation with a support car.
Our code is simple: take care of your brothers and sisters. What matters isn't your riding skill or engine size — it's how you treat people.
OUR ROAD
Aniki and his friends in Bali founded the Harley team. A new flag rose in West Bali.
Starting along the West Bali coastline, the monthly ride has never stopped since.
A cinematic video of Harleys against Bali's scenery — now the face of the team.
A documentary about the Japanese-founded Harley team in Bali drew wide attention.
From Japan, from Bali, from around the world — and still growing.
The rest of this timeline will be written together with you.
