Too many PASAWAY motorcycle RIDERS on the street

[flakez]

errr.......

inaayos ko ngayon ung 50cc yamaha target namin..... sa mahal ng gas ngayon kelangan mo na ng motor pang short trips. basta ayos lang magmaneho saka wear helmets pag nasa highways. lalo na pag traffic, ang daling sumingit sa mga sasakyan.

sa south ito ang ginagawa nila pampasada ito kung tawagin ay "habal - habal"

kahit apat na tao kasya ..tapos hataw pa sa daan ang mga ito

[mazdamazda]

another thing that pisses me off (be it car or motorcycles)...

NON USE OF TURN SIGNALS!

and specifically for motorcycles...

REMOVAL OF SIDE MIRRORS (para "cool" daw)

Importance of HELMET

Wala akong nakikitang masama sa pagdami ng motor na gumagala sa kalsada. Basta wag lang barubal at may helmet na suot they have my respect.

I think we do need to separate educated and non-educated motorcycle drivers.

I started riding motorcycles 8 years ago when i was still a freshman in college and never turned back. I still love cars but I cant stay away from the fact that motorcycles are so convenient, easy to maintain and gas consumption is 1/3 to 1/6 less than what I use for my car. Thats a lot of savings in terms of money and time.

I use one everyday to work. But, i am planning to buy a car too by the end of this month ( i sold my corolla 2 months ago because of all the problems it had) because motorcycles are only for my daily commute and not for your errands like groceries, visitors, and of course, dates , etc.

Its only tough when it rains since i have to wear a raincoat and may get wet sometimes.

If we see an increase in education about the convenience and practicality of motorcycles, we should continue to see a steady increase in their numbers in the coming years. We should also see less traffic and better safety for both cars and motorcycles.

well, I think that most of us is addressing the latter.

motorcycles per se isn't bad. but when they are reckless - they also pose a LOT of danger (which some people perceive is higher than vehicles, which they can easily see and avoid - due to their increased visibility).

bad trip karamihan sa mga nakamotor. Dapat dun higpitan talaga sa lisensya e. karamihan naman yata hilaw sa proper road courtesy. dito ang motorsiklo lisensya na sa counterflow, reckless driving at exempted pa sa mga traffic lights.

stricter guidelines in giving driver licenses is really needed in our country. Not only for motorcycle riders but specially to professional drivers e.g. jeepney drivers and bus drivers. imo mas nakakatakot ang bus na swerving kesa sa motorcycles na nagcounterflow.

i have to agree. motorcycles are not bad. its the reckless motorcycle driver who gives a bad rep to all use motorcycles. there should be education & regulation before the situation gets out of hand. how many times did a door from a car/auv/suv/etc. opened only to hit a motorcycle making 'lusot' on the right side of the vehicle?

[ts1n1ta]

practical na ngayon motorcycles. Kulang pa sa daan, dadating den ang panahon parang vietnam at china na tayo puro motorcycles at bike, sa mahal ba naman ng gas..
anyway, isa lang ayaw ko sa ibang mc riders, yung dadaan sa gitna ng daan (in between cars) sabay overtake ng alanganin. "Maangas na pag cut" i hate that!

[ILuvDetailing]

ts1n1ta: bagay sayo mag bike lapit lang bahay niyo sa office..

iyan pa isang naka bad trip sa kanila ..bihira gumamit ng signal light ...kaya pag nakakita ng space pasok or singit na lang bigla na delikado sa ibang motorista

REMOVAL OF SIDE MIRRORS (para "cool" daw)

kung sa first class na ospital sila dinala after naaksidente dahil sa kawalan ng side mirror ...mas malamig doon naka- aircon

sabagay super corrupt pa din lto hanggang ngaun. ako nung nag apply 4 my license di ako nagpunta-nagbigay lang ako pangmeryenda. nang mauso naman ung picture sa license nagpunta lang ako for picture taking tapos ok na. Masakit man aminin pero contributor din tyo sa corruption pag ganto gawa natin. and im sure yung smoke emission test na yan karamihan dito sa atin "non-apperance" din.

May patient kami ngayon, relative ng isang Congressman from the far north. Nag-scooter ng lasing at walang helmet.

Ngayon basag ang bungo. Had to be airlifted to us.

[BoEinG_747]

iyon nephew ng kasama ko sa work ..lasing din nag drive ng suzuki raider

naaksidente tumama ang ulo .akala dala ng spirit ng alak ang pananakit ng ulo

ayaw mag pa doktor ,after two days namatay ..

blood cloth daw sa utak sabi ng doktor ...tsk tsk tsk ..

[laklak]

masarap sana mag motor, kaso wala kang kalaban laban sa aksidente. Kahit pa naka helmet ka eh, basta mapuruhan ka tagilid ka na agad

[Tikoyman]

Sarap mag-MC lalo na kung club organized byahe....Just recently purchased a Piaggio X9 Maxi-scooter..Si esmi na lang nagko-kotse ngayon....may kalakihan tung MC ko kaya di pwedeng isingit in between cars...hehehe, baka magasgas! But guess what, my wifey is always my backrider whenever i go w/ my big scooter...
Napansin ko lang naman na barumbado talagang riders ay yung mga naka-xrm typed MC na naka-lowered pa at napaka ingay!....Honda din kasi yan kaya feel nila naka-SIR sila!(joke lang po)
Habaan na lang natin ang pasensya sa daan and be a defensive driver!

With this current gasoline price, i think 2-wheelers will be the king of the road soon. Just Drive safe guys!

[Hayward]

Couldn't agree more sir Tikoyman. With the rising cost of petroleoum products, sunod na lahat pati pamasahe and a lot of people are turning to MCs to save on costs. With the coming of e-vat, mas lalo na. Whether we like it or not, MCs are here to stay (and dominate the streets). Dapat lang talaga ang proper road courtesy and education not only for the 2 or 3-wheel drivers but to all drivers in general.

sa amin hindi hindi gaanong maangas ung mga naka xrm na lowered. may mga humps kasi dito sa amin, hindi sila makapagangas, mukha silang tanga na nagsisiyete pa sa pagdaan ng humps kahit na sobra baba ng humps. bwahahaha! buti nga!
