A cool place to chill out after a long days ride; have a few drinks, shoot some pool with some friends, grab a light bite to eat or just relax with a great organic coffee. Have a party in the truck, chill in the “Raksi Mobile”, or ride the curves of the bar… Get looked after by our friendly Western and Nepali staff. Raju's Bullet Surgery is right next door, so you can get your bike looked after while relaxing. Not just for Bullet riders, all travellers are welcome.

Buying a (CJ Sidecar) Motorcycle in Beijing: It is still illegal to ride independently in China, and to cross a border into China on a motorcycle that is not licensed and registered in China by a Chinese resident. Who knows when this may change, but for now, you must live in China and get a Chinese drivers license in order to ride there. Big Bill in Beijing has written up a bunch of FAQs on the process, if you still wish to investigate it.
