New Gallery now open

Posted by mcphils On May - 16 - 2006

With the content of the old gallery really just too confusing and mixed up to sort, we have decided to open a new, moderated, gallery. We will still do our best to import the good photos from the old gallery but the going won’t be short nor will it be easy.

Expect a delay before your photo is posted on the new gallery since all photos now pass through moderation.

Thank you very much.

The new gallery is here.

Photo Gallery Closed

Posted by mcphils On May - 13 - 2006

We have received a report of offensive material on the photo gallery that has compromised the entire website. This has long been a worrying issue to us because of some of the content inside the photo gallery, namely scanned photos and photos lifted from other sites and photos of people in unflattering and compromising positions.

We shall be conducting a review of the contents of the gallery and come up with a decision soon if we will re-open this one or create a new moderated gallery.

Riding in the RainWith the first showers of the season comes the reminder that the rains are coming. Riding when its dry is a challenge in itself but riding in the rain is a totally different thing.

Water on the road, in your helmet, in your underwear, water everywhere! Those are just some of the nuances of riding and living in the rain.

To the uninitiated this can be a scary experience. But don’t fret the old timers on Motorcycle Philippines are here to help you as they give you advice on how to survive….Riding in Rain!

Plate Confiscation

Posted by mcphils On May - 10 - 2006

A regular visitor of Motorcycle Philippines emailed me this question regarding the confiscation of plates.

Hello Motorcycle Philippines,

Pls. advice if taking my Motorcycle Plate Number is correct when my license don’t show # 1 resitriction-> w/c is for me to be able to drive motorcycle. The MMDA officer said that I don’t have a license that’s why he took my Plate Number. Is this correct? Pls. advice how much I’ll pay to the Municipal Hall of Paranaque.

Thank you and hope to receive your reply soon.

Best Regards,
(Name Withheld)

Any of our legal eagles care to shed some light on this matter?
