    with the rising cost of fuel. adviceable talaga ang motorbikes especially kung short distances lang like going to supermarkets, etc.... mapapahaba pa nito lifespan ng car mo.... cheaper maintenance, less fuel consumption and it is not as unsafe as most of us thinks (ganyan din iniisip ko before i rode a bike)!

    tama ka bro for short distances pwedeng pwede ang bike like maghuhulog ng sulat, magbabayad ng mga bills, pero pag sa supermarket unless kunting kunti lang yung kasya lang sa Utility box ng motor, OK, pero pag madami na hassle nayan sa pag momotor..at isa pa dont forget to wear helmet kahit 1 block ang pupuntahan mo dito kasi nangyayari ang mga aksidente

    syempre naman. never overload your ride lalo na motor. baka masemplang ka kasi. Always use a helmet, jacket, pants, gloves etc.... depende na sa rider yun kung ano pang protective gears gusto nya isuot. for me i still prefer comfort thus i prefer to ride a big car when shopping. I just ride if I just need to haul my ass from point A to B if it is not raining or if not that far away from our house, but that is just me. there are riders out there who prefer to ride bikes rather than cars... and i know the reason why they prefer bikes....

    I do believe that our tsikoteer bikers could explain more the joys of riding to our fellows here.

    You don't know the right people.

    As has been said, the difference between big bikes and scooters is that there are relatively more "reckless" owners of scooters, simply because they're cheap, thus, younger and less educated riders can afford them.

    I know quite a few people who've died on big bikes. Not only sports bikes, mind you, but cruisers, too.

    -----

    RE: Safety? Between a scooter and an underbone, I'd prefer an underbone. Bigger tires, more active balance, more body control. Of course, you can go faster and get in more trouble... but then, agility is always a double-edged sword.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    ako meron na 'kong nakita, kawasaki ZX-7 yata yun, ang kinis! nakakalat sa gitna ng kalsada sa Las Pinas pero tingin ko kasalanan nu'ng bugok an XRM rider, kinain kasi yata nu'ng XRM yung linya ng ZX-7, kasi nagkabaliktad sila ng linya eh pero nasa tamang linya pa rin yung ZX while yung XRM after counterflowing, dumire-diretso sa tabi ng kalye, bale lampas pa sa linya nu'ng ZX.

    an underbone is already a good starter bike, but for those who haven't started riding yet, riding at least a 50cc scoot will be good enough for them at least they'll be able to learn riding basics like how to assume bike thrust, when to assume balance afterwhich they can progress to underbones, pantra bikes or big bikes, hirap kasi kapag 200cc and up, kahit nga sa 125cc minsan nagugulat pa ang newbie rider pag nag surge forward yung motor at 1st gear eh, so yun lang :D

    as long as you're wearing a jacket, you won't stink :D,

    And they are the ones who have always been better remembered while there are also a lot of professionals who also prefer to have bikes like those, anyway, it only proves that it's not in the bike but in the rider...
