My place in Mandaluyong is along a main road.. and pag lampmpas ng mga motorcycle riders sa humps... haharurot and sobrang ingay.... and often you can really hear na binobomba lang ang throttle to get more noise out of the pipe. Sometimes guso ko lagyan ng clothesline yung road para madala sila.
Again being in the motorcycle industry previously.. i know that putting these open pipes on a 110 or 125 cc engine does very little for the bike... pero yung mga jologs.. and yes marami sila keep on doing it.... its a cultural thing.... a blatant disregard for the well being of others....
OT.. I dont know if you guys notice... maraming riders ng under bones and scooters.. who try to emmulate the posture or positioning of big bikes... eto na yung mag papalagay ng rear set ( a rear set puts the clutch and brake controls towards the rear of the bike so you can assume a semi prone position just like a big bike) or yung karamihan na walang pang bili.... will put their feet on the passenger pegs... para parang naka racing posture... tapos when they have to brake.. babalik sa tamang position ang mga paa..
I consider this dangerouse because the split second it takes for you to move our feet from the passenger foot pegs to the actual contols or brakes could be a life or death situation.. Tawag nga ng partner ko dun.. "Frog boys" kasi parang palaka ang porma on the bike.
In the end I still have a lot of respect for riders who fllow traffic rules and are properly attired for the ride.
