They both speak English fluently, and there is no doubt that they will help you with your bike.
mr Bong prefer riding on old school motorcycles
Dan Kim more keen on modern motorcycles
Bong is a great mechanic and motorcycle enthusiast on a very deep level.
He told me about his first love motorcycle. The brand of motorcycle he mentioned… Wait…
I’m at motorcycling since I was 16 it is about 30 years. And even earlier when I was trying to hijack my uncles motorcycle when I was 11 years old. But I couldn’t do it physically because I was to lightweight to kickstart 650cc opposite engine sidecar motorcycle. And I haven’t even heard about this brand shame on me, and it is not something obsolete it is still on the market and it cost a lot of money and it is like Pateck Phillip in a motorcycle world.
It is Brough Superior SS100 not only a motorcycle as vehicle but more is a peace of art and a quite fast peace of art.
Royal Classic sells accessories clothes helmets boots and other stuff and they also sell Italian classy look scooters “Modena” from “AJS Motorcycles”
Mr Bong is truly passionate about classic motorcycles and he has a huge experience in maintaining Royal Enfield bikes, he even invented parts to improve performance and riding comfort.
Their workshop is has service center on the first floor and office and at the same time chill out place for their community at the underground basement floor.
