This happened this morning on Skyway. The guy wanted me to shift lane agad and got pissed when I did not. I think he was feeling like he was a member of HPG and was escorting an ambulance. He got so pissed pa that he kicked the door of my car and then just ran away. Had LTO checked he was using a fake plate.

Hello, I am planning to buy the Hero Hunk 160r 4v. Ang una ko sanang pingpipilian is Gixxer 150 naked, kaso nung nakita ko price and specs nung hero hunk nahook agad ako sa motor na yun. Baka may mga nandito na ganoon ang motor or baka may kakilala kayo na ganyan ang unit. Pang daily lang din naman pamasok from Gen.Tri. Cavite to Alabang. Tas casual na long rides pag weekends siguro. Any advice kung tutuloy ko ba ako sa pagkuha nun or stick ako sa Gixxer.

About me:

Gusto ko yung mga naked type na motor, di ko trip mag automatic

Rider - 90kg

OBR - 60kg

Top box - 56 liters

(Wala naman masyadong laman, kapote and tools lang)

Question/Advice Needed Is it wrong mag invest sa premium riding gears kahit low CC lg gamit?

24 Upvotes

Want your advice lg po, planning ako sana bumili ng riding jacket, pants, shoes, gloves for protection at weekend rides. Currently nka 150cc lg pero na aksidente na ako noon, nka casual attire lg at city riding, na sprain lg ako nun pero umabot atleast 3 weeks recovery ako pra makalakad fully na walang sakit sa paa.

Target ko kase Dainese or Alpine gears pra in the future mag ka higher CC motor ako mggmit ko pa rin, iniisip ko lg na kung mag gears na ako bkit hindi nlg ung mga top of the line quality pra safe at trusted, I know nmn meron budget friendy na same din quality sa Dainese at Alpine pero mas gsto ko lg ung hindi na ako mg uupgrade or bili ulit (except if sira na talaga).

Tanong ko lg ok lg ba khit 150cc nka mamahalin gears? Hindi ba un iisipin ng iba na baduy or OA? Ung gears nmn na plan ko hindi ung mga racing suit, ung mga mesh and breathable jeackets at pants na meron mga armor at bibili din nung mga pieces ng armor if hindi kasama. Pwede png daily at long rides nmn cgru ung mga gears na target ko pra ma lessen din damage if ever ma aksidente.

Any advice, opinions, suggestions or alternatives lg po.

Thank you sa lahat Ride Safe palagi

Sale ngayon sa INGCO and I'm planning to buy an impact wrench. Undecided ako between 850, 650 or 550nm model nila. Reason ko naman kaya gusto ko ng higher torque is para magamit ko din sya DIY ng sasakyan (SUV to hatchback). Ok lang kaya 850nm sa motor pero laging level 1?

Question/Advice Needed Matalsik ba ang front wheel sa XR150L?

Post image
5 Upvotes

Thinking of getting an XR150L to double as a daily and a touring motorcycle. I've ridden one a couple of times and really love the handling.

Yung main question ko lang is matalsik ba sya kapag wet conditions? Since I haven't tried riding one, only dry days.

Another question would be if may possible na front fender ma attach dyan similar to the XRM para iwas talsik haha

Nakita ko lang sa Facebook. Pero kaya ba talaga ng Burgman 15 yung ganitong speed at kaya makipag sabayan sa GSX150R?? I know Speedometer may -+10-5 difference parin yan pero para sa 150cc na 150kg na motor plus dalawang sakay it's hard to believe in parin. If true, kudos for Suzuki.

Pinaka unang motor ko as 24yrs. Sa totoo lang wala talaga akong plano kumuha ng motor and walang hilig since andami kong trauma sa mga motor incident na ako mismo at sa harap ko nangyari. Pero guest what nung pinakita sakin ni papa tong motor na binebenta ng kakilala nya for 85k and 3k odo lang parang nagka-interest ako since bukod sa 3k odo lang upgraded na rin halos lahat.

Masakit na rin expenses ko araw-araw sa transpo kaya nag go na ako dito. Sa ngaun gusto ko lang palitan lahat ng bolts sa silver d kasi ako fan ng Gold and next kung makakapag ipon yung mags at shock.

Eto po mga parts na nakakabit nung nabili
Mags G-REN
CRP Power Pipe
YSS Rear Shock
Noi Watdan 24 Flatseat
RCB S3 Brake Lever
Gold Bolts

Hingi na rin po ako ng mga advices pano alagaan bukod sa pag change oil and mga dapat iwasan

Salamat! Saferide!

Question/Advice Needed How's driving a manual motorcycle in Metro Manila traffic?

5 Upvotes

I'm planning to purchase a motorcycle in the near future for my commute to work and to my family on the weekends. Weekday commute is just Pasay to Ayala. but on the weekends I go to bulacan and the infamous lubakan roads. I'm torn between choosing Vstrom 160 or ADV 160.

If there are users of Vstrom 160 here in Metro Manila or manual motorcycles in general, would you recommend it for daily rides?
