Viral, known to many people to make curious, who is the figure of Mugiyono who is being talked about?
Welcome greetings from office friends for their achievements. His face filled the television room in the past week. Mugiyono (34), as he was called, did not expect his Facebook posting to be viral and sought after by many people, covered by print, online media and television.
Beginning in the 2000s the MotoGP race could only be seen in front of a television glass screen by Mugiyono. The man who was born in Kebumen also told me that it was impossible for him to meet or watch live MotoGP drivers in action.
The dream turned into a reality when the husband of Imah (33) got a valuable opportunity to become a racing helmet technician, both in the local racing event to the most prestigious MotoGP in 2016. "Alhamdulillah, in 2016 I never thought I was given the opportunity to the Malaysian MotoGP, when I got there, I got an ID card that could come to the paddock driver. I could meet Rossi, Dovi and it was like a dream," said the father of Nathania (12 ) and Alvaro (5).
During coming and attending the MotoGP event, Mugiyono was assigned as a representative of KYT Indonesia to check the comfort and safety of the driver's helmet. Not a few, according to him, the drivers who ventured and asked for help to check the condition of the helmet. "Usually they confide, ask mas why is the helmet rocking, maybe the size is too big or how, yes I checked the condition," he added.
According to him, in the MotoGP class he could meet 13 riders from various Moto3, Moto2 to MotoGP classes. The goal is to check the condition and improve the helmets of drivers who use KYT products. For the MotoGP class, he was in charge of checking the helmet conditions of Andrea Dovizioso, Alex Espargaro and Simeone.
Mugiyono did not work alone, according to him he was seconded to accompany Kreso, a technician of European KYT representatives who were always present at the MotoGP event. In addition to adding flight hours, becoming a technician in the prestigious event helped Mugiyono's knowledge in handling helmets with various situations and conditions.
When mentioned about the technician who was invited to the MotoGP title, Mugiyono said that only he and Kreso. "As far as I know, only me and Mr. Kreso as the representative of KYT Europe. Other Asian people don't know yet," he replied.
Mugiyono's achievements and proud experience were not achieved, he admitted that he had been involved in the helmet industry with PT Tara Kusuma Indah for about 10 years so that he could get such a rare opportunity. Mugiyono proves, Indonesians can compete and also everyone can pursue their dreams as long as there is a great will.
