The upcoming BOSS Ironman Challenge VII gets a kick start for 2012 as the Asian Carmakers Corporation (ACC), the Philippine distributor of BMW, and Autohaus BMW formally sign a deal to back the annual cross-country event. Organized by the BMW Owners Society of Saferiders (BOSS), the 2012 edition of the BOSS Ironman Challenge will officially take off on the eve of January 14, 2012 at the Balintawak Home Depot and tour around 11 provinces in Luzon non-stop to cover over 1,200 kilometers on two-wheels within 24 hours.

What began as a simple adventure run in 2006 has now turned into an annual endurance challenge with over 300 competitors from all walks of life. A rider's skill is put to the test, as they must navigate through the designated route and stretch the limits of physical endurance in this 24-hour bike race. It's also a great opportunity for them to meet other riding enthusiasts from all over the country and enjoy the beautiful sights of North Luzon. And due to the event's success, the BOSS Ironman Challenge has opened its entries to car enthusiasts as well....

For 2 wheelers and 4 wheelers ba itong Ironman Challenge?
May nakita kasi akong post ng kotse na nasiraan ng gulong.
Umiiyak si lady driver kasi baka di niya matapos yung endurance ride.

Medyo controversial pa itong Ironman ngayon.
Dami yata aksidente caused by the participant or by another party.

For both two and four. This year daw seems to be quite abundant in terms of accidents.

YUn nga bali-balita, Doc. May mga namatay pa nga.
Kaya tuloy medyo lumalakas ang demand para ma-cancel daw yung Iron Man.

the car was in the wrong lane...

Same accident.

Ang palusot pala is blinded by the bikers light, eh bakit ka papasok sa kabilang lane, pwede naman bumagal at pumunta sa kanang part ng road para iwas sa incoming glare ng headlight. Yari si Lolo dito, sablay dahilan.

agree. di kasalanan ng participants ito. bikers will be there... may challenge man o wala.

pero the car driver na walang nakikita should have stopped his car

ang nakakalngkot sa accident na ito. for sure yung mga bike may comprehensive insurance... yung car malamang wala

why hold a race on an active public road, without proper safeguards, even?
i am confident, if we dig deep enough,
we will come across some law against such...

[baludoy]

Personally I think i-Tuloy Lang nila iyan pero dapat Gawin nila inter-island. The farther the better. Pero they've got to police themselves. I'm sure they have safety policies in place na pero Hindi nasusunod Ng madami nilang members.

Ok Naman Ang idea pero madami napeperwisyo na Hindi nila miyembro kaya they've got to address that sa tingin ko.

apparently this concern has been brought up before and continues to this day.

The streets are dangerous enough sa dami ng bad drivers (4, 3 or 2 wheel man) dito, na may mga batas nga, pero di nasusunod (este, di SINUsunod) kunsintihin pa kaya dapat ang mga ganito? Para sa akin, di ako boto.

Minsan nga kahit pedestrian, PASAWAY din eh...

I wonder how many kg of emissions this event will create.

"It's not a race" daw, as per their rules, in that there is no ranking when you finish it (ie. 1st , 2nd, 3rd, etc.) It's either you finish it in 24 hours or you don't.

But in order to finish the 1,200 km journey in 24 hours, you'll need to maintain 50kph ave. speed, minimum. That's not much of a leeway if you have to eat, rest, fuel-up, or get stuck in traffic. So it may not be a race in principle, however you will be compelled to drive fast to make up for lost time.

It's quite a chicken and egg question. It's an endurance challenge dahil kailangan mo i-meet yung deadline so talagang wala halos tulog, kain, at pahinga. Isinasabay lang ang alin man dyan sa pagpapakarga ng gasolina. Kinompute ko nga din yan 1200km for 24hrs. so around 50km average speed nga. Pero may parts na talagang you'll be almost at a crawl due to traffic, then like this run eh most of the routes daw eh maulan. Technically, ayaw nila tawaging race kasi wala ngang award for 1st or top 5 or top 10. Pero you really have to race against the clock just to finish in time. So it's almost a race na nga rin talaga. Unlike kung let's say for two days yan (average of 25kph), yung mga di makakatapos eh yun lang mga nasiraan, naaksidente, lack of stamina, o nag-quit na lang for reasons of their own.

no, it's not a race.
because racing on public roads is usually illegal.

"rally driving" of the olde 60s and 70s, is the nearest analogy i can think of.

Jonathan Beaudeau/Victim of Defamation. The post on this site is 100% fabricated and slanderous. It was written by a criminal cyberattacker and stalker who has been targeting 4 members of the same family, including a very young child. This individual lives in Woodmere, New York and suffers from significant mental health issues. This post should have been removed from this site right away, as it has nothing to do with the subject of this site or forum.

its probably more appropriate to report the offending post and get their account banned than spam a refutation to their claims and risk getting your own account banned

Yep. That would be the logical approach.
Except that i did all that and nothing was done!
I have been handling hundreds of these posts against my family members. However, it seems that administrators only pay attention when I make myself obnoxious enough.
