pls don't generalize all bikers like that..Hindi lang po Bikers ang mga loko-loko sa kalye... marami din pong Ogags na naka-kotse! Motorcycles or cars...parepareho tayong nagbabayad ng registration at road tax...kaya magbigayan na lang tayo sa kalye! Peace

I'm a bigbike enthusiast also like others here in Tsikot and recently joined a MC club. Marami talagang astig na members(judge,Police and military officers, parish priests, eng'rs, businessman, market vendors, OFW) pero di nila pinagmamayabang at wlang discrimination... mahirap o mayaman pwede mag-join sa group namin basta susunod sa by-laws ng grupo..

Sa mahal kasi ng petroleum products ngayon kaya naglipana ang mga MC sa kalye plus the cheap china bikes flooding our market.

Drive Safely na lang tayo at magbigayan sa kalye...

i'm sorry but i have to agree with centum. not all bikers are like that. the bikers community is trying to promote riding safely and responsibly. unfortunately, marami rin mga gagong bikers. its an uphill battle. again, hindi lahat at dapat wag lahatin.

pareho lang dba? marami ring gagong drivers. i meet a lot on the road, whether on my bike or behind the wheel. i'm sure all of you have, dont tell me hindi. in both cases, it cuts across all economic lines. and i think the same could also be said about driver education, its also an uphill battle.

since i started riding a bike, my attitude now is when i am driving my car and there are bikes around me, i just let them go ahead. no harm done anyway.

sana magbago na ang attitude na ganito, it doesnt work to foster hate towards a particular sector of the riding/driving public. all the more if we include generalizations, whether unfounded or not, about this sector. it will only foster more animosity on the roads when lamig ng ulo ang dapat umiral.

lets share the roads bec we all paid for it. lets all ride/drive responsibly.

ps: believe it or not, i feel i became a better driver after doing time on the saddle.

yes.. please dont generalize all motorcycle riders as assholes, 4 wheelers also have their own share of them....

i drive a car and also ride a motorcycle... and i'm guilty f staying in the middle of the lane... the reason why we do this is because its more risky to stay rightmost because of the possibility of being sideswiped! i just maintain the legal speed (which is really not a problem for motorcycles) and let the other motorists overtake if they could....

Yep, hindi rin sana lahatin dahil marami rin mga riders na may safety awareness at may tamang asal sa kalye.

Dito na nga lang sa amin, sa motorcycle club namin, marami din kaming sumusunod sa defensive riding at road courtesy .... pero meron din barubal sa kalye na member sa club namin ... nagkalat din ang mga individual riders na feeling nasa race track sila.

Kung gamit ko cage ko, nakaka enkwentro din ako ng mga cage drivers na akala mo nasa racing circuit sila. Minsan sa siksikan na trapik pasalamat sya nde nakakabit bullbar ko, ang sarap pag nakamali sya ng singit.

Mountain biker at Road biker din ako, marami din sa grupo namin ang marunong sa road courtesy, may mga ilan ilan din na feeling importante sila sa daan.

Sana lang po, courtesy din sana tayo sa pagpost ng mga comments, dito tayo magkakaroon ng mabuting pagbigay ng ideas kesa samaan ng loob at batuhan ng bintang. Dito rin pwede tayo magtulungan kung sakaling kakailanganin, wag po sanang napaka-patriotic sa isang kinahihiligan natin na makakalimutan na nating "BUMUSINA" sa kapwa nating gumagamit ng kalye, pag "BUBUSINA" tayo, maiiwasan po nating makatama sa mga walang kasalanan. Peace.;)

Sa mga bikers, see my post in this thread (post #4)...
IMHO, without discrimination or hate stuff (and promoting peace, hehe), mas risky pa rin ang bikes sa main roads. Nakakatakot pa rin dumikit sa kanila sa kalsada. Sa tutuo lang, most bikes, nangyayari talaga na invisible sila sa kalsada.

*peace* at opinion lang!

Sa tagal ko nang nagdadrive, wala pa naman akong nakitang naka big bike na gago magdrive, pinakamadalas yung mga delivery boys ng mga fastfood outlets, puro kaskasero may time limit kasi, dapat tanggalin na yung promo nila na may time limit.

Maka-ilang beses na akong muntik makadale ng motorsiklo, mga bigla na lang kasing sisingit minsan pag liliko ako, or basta na lang magka-cut sa tabi ko, o bigla na lang susulpot sa harap ko habang patawid ako. Somebody on two wheels even had the gall to *tap* the side of my car, as a signal that he was about to pass. What, can't you use your horn instead? Do you even have a horn in the first place? Can you afford to pay me in the event that you damage my car's paint job? Pukininang, iniingatan ko yung pintura ng kotse ko, tapos tatapikin lang ng kung sinong hunghang na naka-motor....

Driving habits aside, motorcycles are inherently more dangerous because of their size. They are more difficult to spot because they can easily slip into your blind spot, making them a greater threat both to me and to themselves, unlike four-wheeled vehicles na malayo pa lang, kita mo na. A lot, and I mean a lot of motorcylists I encounter on the road don't even have the common sense to use a helmet! Kaya tuloy pag napuruhan, ay sus, pasensyahan na lang, hane? Kay San Pedro ka na lang magpaliwanag.

minsan may sinusundan ako 2 tricycle nagkakarera sa highway... 40 yata ang takbo nila pero feeling nya 100kph na.. nung mag-oovertake na ako bigla itinaas nung driver yung kaliwang paa then sabay left turn...

pakshet... buti naka preno ako... yun paang pala ang pang-signal nila..hehe

Motorcycles are registered vehicles. To be registered owners are required to pay fees and road users tax. I think its their right to share the roads with cars. MC's stay on the middle of the road because that is the safest part on the road for them. Kung didikit ka sa kanila talagang risky yun. It is you who's putting on the risk. You blow your horn because you want them to move aside so you can pass them. Maybe you envy them because while your stuck in traffic they just whiz pass by you. [B]kakainggit di ba?? [/B] Anyway that's why there's an MC organization fighting for the end to the illegal ban of MC's on expressways. These roads are according to international studies the most safest road for MC's..only in the philippines are MC's ban on expressways. Ohter countries even promote their use on expressways. Laid back talaga ang pilipinas..kawawa naman..tayo!!!!
