So You Want to Have a Motorcycle?

I have blogged about motorcycles in different circumstances:
- This post had a photo about a family riding in one small motorcycle that spell disaster if ever a mistake is made.
- What about the Ducati motorcycle of Yellow Cab Pizza post?
- Some of the Batangas Racing Circuit photos that I posted? Yes, there were some superbikes there.
Motorcycles are here to stay, that s for sure. Nothing wrong there except some of the things that the riders do that get them in trouble. They ride fast. They don’t wear their helmets on their head but rather wear these on their arms/elbows (duh?). They ride with 2 other riders. They drive even if they are intoxicated,which is the leading cause of accidents in the country. They ride without safety gears.
So it is any surprise that in Asia, in the Philippines, motorcycle accidents happen day in and day out?

Yellow Cab Pizza Delivers with a Ducati?

Who wants Yellow Cab Pizza delivered in a Ducati? Now that would be fun, wouldn’t it?
That is a rider (not sure if this is Glenn Aguilar) on a Ducati during a motorcycle race that we watched a few months ago at the Batangas Racing Circuit.
I did see a huge poster of this bike along EDSA, a major thoroughfare here in Metro Manila, a few weeks ago. But because my eyesight has some problems, I was not abe to read what it was all about, 😀
Commuting Along EDSA

Several weeks ago, I wrote a post about cars here, emphasizing on the color silver. Our family is fond of going to car shows. The children collect cars and they do not settle for those out of this world designs but get the real car designs. My son can name the different makes of his favorite cars and even calls these by their engine names.
Anyway…
City living (particularly here in Metro Manila) + having a car = getting an auto insurance. Why?
The roads are bumpy, and even the main thoroughfare called EDSA is one bumpy, rough road. One never knows what is on the road ahead and there have been so many accidents involving those little islands they have erected along this major road which should not have been the case.
Streets inside residential places have humps (placed by the homeowner in front of his home) every few meters or so. I kid you not. Poor vehicles have their suspension groaning. If it keeps the kids playing on the streets from getting hit, I understand.
The traffic is so bad, even with six lane roads, it IS very bad and slow moving. And when traffic is bad and vehicles are bumper to bumper during rush hour, just pray that your car…
What Car is This?
