in other words, if it can happen to a presumably better rider than you and me several times over, and in a speedway that has been presumably designed to maximize safety...
papano pa kung ikaw o ako, sa snarling traffic that is the public road...?

A former co worker of mine in his early fifties recently had a very bad accident on his ducati. His loves riding his bike on weekends only with his group taking his wife with him most of the time. They went to pangasinan. Cruising quite fast on a curve he overshot his lane. Lo and behold biglang may kasalubong na off balance sila para maiwasan yun kasalubong. Result was his wife died and he survived with a lot of stitches all over.

The guy you are referring to could be a close friend and high school buddy of mine. He was my team mate in our varsity team playing Soccer for Don Bosco Technical Institute Makati. We are all bound to go in this lifetime. You cannot choose how life will end but at least live it to the fullest not with regrets. We were all devastated with what happened to him and his wife but it did not deter our free spirit. We are still risk takers but not stupid thrill seekers. We are now more careful than ever. My riding days are over due to health reasons but the irony is when I slowed down on my adventures that is the time all these health issues kicked in. I should've just continued riding and traveling back then. :chopper:

Ever heard the news ago about Maico Buncio(correct me if the name is not right)? He was a very well skilled and trained motorcycle rider for a YAMAHA TEAM. Alamin mo saan at paano sya namatay bro. Or maybe nabalitaan mo na ito.

Anyare sir?

This thread started two years ago. I wonder what happened to TS. I doubt if he still reads this forum. He either had an accident or too busy studying.

He skid crashes unto a concrete barrier with an expose steel bar, where his body protruded through it.

we can say that its speed that killed him, but that's a gray area. as a general rule, the faster you go, the more likely you'll die from a vehicular accident. but then again, there's mitigating and aggravating factors to consider (buses making sure they kill you in case they only bumped you * 20kph)

Ano legal age para mag drive ng scooter?

16, provided may driver's license. (or is it 17?)

its the license (and restrictions) that counts.

[jonski]

student id lang pwede sa 16 years old. Pwede na ba yon for scooter?

According to a proverb ... In the case of a car, metal wraps around body and yet people still get into accidents and die. In the case of a motorcycle, it's body wrapping around metal and when something untoward happens ... well, you get the idea.

Hi guys,

I'm a medical student and I drive a car that's "unofficially" mine (dad owns it but I drive it most of the time). I use it everyday to and from school etc. Lately, I've been fantasizing about riding a motorcycle, not as main transportation, but for weekend rides around Manila. Its more like a toy for me. I like the idea of being free and feeling the thrill of riding and enjoying the link between man and machine.

But, my parents are against it. They said its too risky especially in manila. Of course, as a parent, they wouldn't want me to risk my life or ruin my future of being a doctor. Everyone I've talked to about this are against this idea as well.

Now, I'm torn between my fantasy and the reality of riding in manila. Is it really that dangerous? Am I really going to be stupid if I buy a motorcycle for myself?

From a rider who has had a chance to drive a lot of two wheeled motor vehicles in the past, here's what I can share…

The wind in your face isn't exactly fresh all the time. In provincial areas the air is fresh but filled with insects especially at night. Nothing beats fresh bugs in your gums during night rides but who cares, it's fantastic. In manila its a different story, a round of different cocktails of smoke coming from all sorts of vehicles mixed with the emission of drainages that mimic the smell of fantastic FARTS.

If you ride with a group in long rides be prepared for a tiring drive. You will be exhausted but none of these will matter compared to the sites you will see and experience. Oh yeah, in manila no sites but a lot of chicks filling the scenes.

Gas is cheap and definitely worth taking a chick as your back rider. With a chick back rider in tow, try to pass by those bumpy gravels and rough asphalts and you will feel the sensation of a massage in your back.

A bike is like a woman, it's a good conversational trophy and a darn tricky to maintain. But we all have had a chance to have girlfriends here and there so that should never be a problem, right?

I'm 50 years old now and have been riding scooters, all kinds of motorcycles including big bikes (had 8 different types at one time) in the past 32 years but now forbidden by my SWMBO for health reasons. Nothing fades in my memory of the wonderful days of freely going around without a care or worry in those few moments of joy rides. Go ahead, have fun!!!

get an electric bike and ride off-road away from stupid trikes and jeeps

[mckeinley]

Ayos lang naman basta learn lang defensive driving lalo pag sa motor na delikado compared sa kotse kasi isang bangga lang katawan mo agad eh. .safety lang talaga dapat tsaka kung first time mo sa motor wag ka kuna kumuha ng mga higher cc bikes na mabibigat na masyado. .
