Debonaire Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Thanks S-Syndrome ... well I've had experience with scooters already plus bikes with gears (although no clutch yet)... and I believe that I'm pretty comfortable with the idea of moving up to a bigger bike. How much would a 2nd hand 250 to 450cc average to? And what is the current situation with regard to bikes using the SLEX? Thanks for taking your time out to help me folks! Quote Link to comment
nico10 Posted March 6, 2003 Author Share Posted March 6, 2003 Just a question... I'm really interested in getting myself a bike... I have a feeling it will be more economical than getting myself a car... Here goes... For transpo purposes... would you use a bike over a car? I live like 15 minutes away from work so it shouldn't be much of a problem... is maintenance expensive? How powerful a bike can a novice start with? Your comments would be fully appreciated... riding a bike is a plus of course... but then u still have to reconsider the rainy seasons... if i were you i'd suggest u get 4t or 4strokes scooter.... like a car u can have the oil changed once in every 3mos. or 5k kilometers....even less.....i wouldn't suggest 2strokes esp. modified ones believe me it's not ideal for everyday use....there are lots of respectable 4strokes model there.... if ur the type who doesn't like the hassles of having an oil change etc.... 2storke is for u... again modified ones are not suggested... u can buy the classy vespa 150.... around more or less 50-60k.... i wouldn't suggest dio's or any 2nd hand surplus scooters... trust me on this one... buy a new one if u can... for your second question... depends.... 50cc i'd suggest... go easy on the throttle.... learn the techiniques... after u get the hang of it....u can try the bigger ones... always wear a helmet.... also..... don't buythe cheap ones... y save? it's for your own protection... agv is not bad... not too expensive... hjc too.... to name a few... also make sure when ur wearing a helmet.... when u nod it doesn't move... ehehehehhe that's how a helmet should be worn ride safely............

jerzz Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 Used to own a Honda CBR and Yamaha FZR My cycling days are long gone. Masyadong delikado sa aksidente. Imagine in 7 secs nasa 200km/hr na speed mo. Quote Link to comment
joel Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 bakit parang wala atang pumansin dito sa topic na ito. I agree that riding a motorcycle is dangerous, imagine riding something whose natural state is on it's side, but it's a lot of fun. Specially now with the traffic situation in the metro, mas pipiliin do pa rin ung bike.pero sabi nga nila "different folks, different strokes". Quote Link to comment

Macy Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 I have received a lot of inquiries as to whether there is a club within MTC which caters to enthusiasts of the motorbikes.... such as this one..... Author: scubaproGroup: MTC Members (25-124 posts)Posts: 28Joined: 1-January 03 Hello again..., Ms Macy, Di ako qualified to start a new topic sa groups forum, can any one of you start the topic motorbikes..., big bikes, street bikes, scooters, dirt bikes basta may motor, huwag lang bicycles... I think a lot of MTC members may have motorbikes also, para magkakilala kami lahat...., bikers are also nice people... Baka may senior member ng MTC who is a biker? Appreciate it if you can help... Benny I am sure there are a lot of you out there.... such as Debonaire and Dobermax69 to name a couple..... here is your chance meet each other.... Quote Link to comment
scubapro Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Ms Macy, Really appreciate your setting it up.... Thank you! Quote Link to comment
dandadedong Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 i own a suzuki gsxr. i agree na delikado, pero iba talaga yung feeling ng nagmomotor lalo na kapag maganda yung weather tapos malamig yung hangin... ako i find it very relaxing kasi tuwing stessed out ako sa school nagmomotor lang ako around sa village namin ayos na ako..

dandadedong Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 badtrip nga lang ngayon kasi tagulan medyo mababawasan yung pagmomotor ko Quote Link to comment
