I am a "big bike fanatic", and I AGREE with what alot of you are saying. Sadly, there are alot of idiots out there with big bikes/scooters, na kala mo kung sino kung mag ride...AND they are making us responsible riders look really-really bad!
Maybe you guys (car enthusiasts) feel the same way about other drivers who drive like maniacs?
When we ride on weekends, we ride as a "unit", so other people on the road can see/hear us coming. When we pass, we politely give a honk-honk and blink our lights, and then pass. There is a time (playtime) when the "leader" of the group lets us...um...play Then it's 200++kph bliss!!!! But this only happens when the roads are clear and wide-wide open (NLEX or Star toll). Let's face it some of us, bikers and drivers, love to make "hataw" once in a while. Fast but as safe as possible...
Personally, I try to ride just a wee bit faster on the roads than other vehicles, kase naka-katakot dumikit sa mga truck eh. Plus, with all our safety gear (jackets, helmets, gloves...etc) masyadong mainit if we stop moving or move to slowly.
This has to be the most interesting and informative thread that I have ever read...on any site! Maybe we can all just try to respect each others passion/choices. Maybe we can keep this thread going, para we can learn from each other. Malay mo maging mag kaibigan pa tayo lahat
