Hi there Rocketz, welcome to RideAsia.

Holla Ally,i just cant wait to ride 1000(+0) corners again...mae hong son...

Selamat datang di Ride Asia - guess there are quite a few more curves on the Maehongson loop than the 1000(+0) you mention. I agree with you that is a lot of fun riding these roads - a bit like the Puncak pass between Bogor and Bandung which I had to ride many time when I lived in Bandung from 1978 to 1986.

I have just been a few days in Solo waiting for the worst Ramadan mayhem to calm down. I had my bike serviced at Rocketz Checkpoint shop and the owner gave my bike several small but important upgrades. He is a skilled mechanic, a bike rider himself for both sportbikes and adventurebikes. And most important of all, he is a very friendly, helpful and nice guy. So is the rest of his lovely family.

So if your bike needs service or repair and fixes and your on Java Indonesia - this is the place to go. There are several hotels and homestays nearby and many restaurants so its all very conveniant.

Thanks for the info Kurt looks like another place to put on my to do list in the near future.

I certainly do recognize my Vario Rocketz. Daryl was very impressed by the work you did on the bike. Said it handles so much better now, faster and more fuel efficient too. I am looking forward to checking it out for myself when we get back home in May. All the best to you and your family. Selamat Tahun Baru. Hope 2017 is a good one for you.

 

[rocketz]

@arjuna50 ....yes bro,that was the third time i saw.4 java and cz...the grandpa but rocks

 

[rocketz]

@merantau...yes it is....i have change the rear shock and rebuit fron forks,so it got more grip and good feedback.engine was rebuilt on belt,roller and carb.it was fast...but if you find it later slow.its because Daryl eat lots of local street food he loved..so the bike got more load from the rider,not the road..l.o.l
