An Appeal to All Motorcycle Riders

[Head-On]

I hope this is the right thread section for this topic.

To All Riders,

Please stop overtaking cars during turns, specially on right turns. Nakakagulat kayo lalo na sa mga naka malaking sasakyan. Ayaw namin maipit or sumabit kayo. You can overtake naman after the turn or sa bandang likod muna while lumiliko.

If you agree with me and have rider friends and groups, paki-share na lang. This is for the safety ng lahat ng motorists.

If you disagree with what I said, you are entitled to your own opinion. Safety habol ko dito hindi debate.

Thanks po.

Saw this TopGear article ewan if this is written with sarcasm or not.

For me they should queue whenever there's a queue.

No one forced them to ride a motorcycle, its their choice. Prior to riding it alam na nila lahat ng factor na dadanasin nila.

Respeto lang to every motorist.

Share the road.

I'm also a biker, and this is exactly the reason kung bakit naka RFID motor ko. In my own little way nakaka lessen ng negative impression from cage drivers. Totoo naman na hindi porke naka motor ka e pede ka nang sumingit. 1 bike is considered as 1 car.

i have talked to motorcyclists..
apparently, some of them think it is their God-given right to singit.

isa yan sa pet peeves ko. yung paliko ka tapos sila mag ka-cut or mag o-overtake sa likuan, whether from a full stop and turn or rolling and from either side.

[ninjababez]

meron matino, meron ungas. so far malaking percentage na encouter ko ungas.
ako nalang nag iingat at nag adjust.

I'm a rider too, kadalasan naiinis ako sa mga kasabay ko'ng nakamotor din. Alot of them don't appear to know what their doing, like and tingin nila sa lane splitting is the same as filtering, facepalm ka nalang eh. marami pang iba.

Nowadays, diko na sinestress sarili ko sa kanila, either naka oto or motor ako, dumudukot nalang ako sa banko ng pasensya at tanggap ko na karamihan talaga sa kanila may sariling mundo.

Their "god" must be crazy.

I'm a motorcycle rider and a driver of a cage as well. I prefer riding the motorcycle especially if I'm just alone. Been riding motorized two wheels since I got my driving license.

First, let me apologize for the unruly and undisciplined riders. Kahit ako naiinis sa kanila sa kalsada. I always try to follow road rules and be courteous to other road users. Minsan napapailing na lang ako pag nakikita ko mga kamote riders. Singit dito singit doon. Meron parang nasa race track kala mo maubusan ng kalsada.meron Meron todo counterflow. Tapos mga ilaw di standard. Meron ba naman break light puti tapos headlight asul. Pinaka ayoko yung bomba ng bomba ng selinyador. Especially small bikes who want to feel na mga supervise riders sila. Ang iingay mga ksp. Nakakabulabog lalo na pag nasa bahay ka.

I can't blame you for hating them. Minsan yung mga naaaksidente na pinapakita sa TV, they were asking for it. Minsan kasalanan nila talaga. That's Darwin's survival of the fittest.

Pero sana rin lang po we don't generalize that all motorcycle riders are barumbado sa daan. Admittedly mas marami ang sira ulo. Pero meron pa rin po mangilan ngilan na responsible motorcycle riders.

I always try to learn and share the road. Especially with pedestrians and bike riders.

What I fear is because of the entry of China motorcycles, sobrang dali na kumuha ng motor. Kahit mga di marunong sa kalsada, pwede mag ka motor for a small amount of money. Yung iba kuha ng kuha ng hulugan tapos di na babayaran. I fear in 5 years time para na tayong Vietnam or Indonesia.

One more thing, after the proliferation of irresponsible motorcycle riders, meron pang Isang dapat bantayan ; mga gumagamit ng electric motorcycle. No need ng lisensya pero poses as a hazard to other road users. Yung iba nasa fast lane pa sa Hiway.

You don't need to be the apologist for these bastards.

I'm a rider too. I love the freedom that goes along with it, the adrenaline rush, and the arms - ripping acceleration. You're always in the zone, in the present moment, riding a speeding motor bike.

Stupidity is not a vice exclusive only to riders, because I realize that there are as many bastards in cages when I'm riding as there are equally a good number of bastard riders when I'm driving. Stupidity cuts both ways.

Sadik, I always wonder why turned down that offer to be a moderator in the motorcycle forum that we both joined. You could have made a great difference there, because, I reckon, there are so many bastard members in that forum.

Mura motorsiklo.

This happened last week along Shaw Blvd. Pansin nyo yung guard sa right side signaling the fast approaching motorcycle to slow down...



But the rider was having none of it... ayan tuloy, semplang.

[benchman]

^ganyan talaga mga iyan, kita na nga nag-stop ang mga auto sa unahan nila (kadalasan sa mga bus/jeepney stops at intersections), hindi man lang naisip na baka meron tatawid.
swerte pa ng mokong at hindi sya sumalpok dun sa van.

Puwedeng gawing screen saver...

Iyan ang mahirap sa kanila... Kapag lahat ng mga sasakyan,- nagpe-preno,- sila umaarangkada lalo para lumusot sa tagliran...

Mabuti na lang at hindi grabe ang pagkaka-semplang niya.,.. Mabuti na rin at hindi ka sinabitan sa tagliran dahil panic na siya.....

"Mauna na kayong lahat...."

Those are not motorcycle sir. Those are electric bicycle.
Isa yan sa mga maling nasasa-isip ng karamihan ng ating mga kababayan. Itinuturing nilang motor vehicle, which is not.

it has to be a gas-powered engine with minimum displacement of xxx cc, to legally be a "motor vehicle" and subject to licensing, etc.
but it does not detract from the observation that some of their riders are "irresponsible", just like the bicycle and the tricycle (di-motor o di-beachwalk) we see along national roads, in the fast lane pa man din!
i think it is time for government to rein these in by updating road laws and proper enforcement.

Agree with you. Enforcement lang naman ang kailangan. Motorized yan (whether electric or fuel power) , may drivers license pa rin dapat sa ganyan. Ewan ko ba, at nabago yun nakasaad sa restriction code 1 sa mga lisensya natin sa LTO. Dati nabasa ko pa sa unang lisensya ko noon sa code 1, sa pagkaunawa ko bukod sa motorcycle ay may nakasulat rin na any motorized vehicle.

Sir please read the whole post.

I didn't refer the photo as regular fuel fed motorcycles but as electric motorcycles. If you want to be specific and technical about it, the one posted above can not be an electric bicycle. To be classified as an electric bicycle, properly know as pedelec, it should have working pedals.

Anyway back to topic. I was just warning everyone that aside from irresponsible motorcycle riders, we should be wary also of the electric motorcycles becoming popular. I've seen these used even by those below 18 who doesn't know any road rules lest obtain a proper license.

Technically they are not under the LTO. And no licensing nor registration is required. These are no different than those "kuliglig" plying manila roads especially in divisoria / binondo area with a Frankenstein motor. Pag nasabitan ka, kakamutan ka lang ng ulo. Worse, tatakbuhan ka at wala kang habol. Wala namang plaka ang mga ito.

I believe that's what he was referring to in his last paragraph.

Sa aking paningin mas beneficial eto sa mga PWD, yung sa mga di makalakad, yung pilay dalwa paa. Simply in the form galing sa electric chair, use the electric motor in the frame of a bicycle wheel. Pero dito sa amin, yung mga handicap ( o pilay na mga kilala ko ) nakakapag maneho pa ng tricycle, at may linsenya. Customize ng hand shifter yung mga pedal shifter nila sa brakes at tranmission.
