This particular ride was unique from the start. It started off with one invitation by a Pastor biker in Tarlac and ended with a ride that can be called a “rally” in some countries.

I’ll get right to it – on the day of the ride, there were 5 groups gathered, namely FaithRiders Manila, FaithRiders Tarlac, ByKings, SoulHunters & BroomBroomRiders. All in all there were a total of about 48 bikers with 3 backriders present for the ride. Mostly composed of sub4’s but the group was a totally mixed breed of bikes from all brands and all ages.

Last Sunday 20 July 2008, Thirty Five (35) Riders of different club affiliations “Rode As One” to the Province of Quezon! Purpose? To promote camaraderie among the participants and most importantly… enjoy the thrill and excitement of cruising together! This Fun Ride was organized by Club 1600 and those who accepted the invitation to “Ride As One” were the Niners Club, MRT Squad 5, some members of PSRC and Individual riders who are frequent visitors of Club 1600 Forum.

Ride For a Cause Part 2 has just been concluded and all were in high spirits. In the forums, a suggestion was raised about having a tshirt printed for the participants of RfaC, so that the riders can identify each other by having the rider’s handle name printed on the shirt.

A rider (ehem!) came up with a tshirt design concept, and using a very rough design, presented it to the rider’s on the forums. Another rider then put the concept to a working design, most of the riders agreed to the concept and design and commissioned another former to start printing the tshirts. A list was populated to reflect the rider’s tshirt orders and sizes. Our RfaC organizer’s (do we need to name name’s? ) had stepped up for the collection for the cost of the shirt and even volunteered their personal bank accounts as a means of collecting the payments. As the tshirt project was underway, RfaC organizers also started to collect funds and donations. Organizers had identified the next RfaC recepient as the Rehoboth Children’s Home in Sampaloc, Tanay, Rizal. In coordination with Ms. Fe Canlas, Resident Administrator of Rehoboth, riders started gathering the donations. Meanwhile, the tshirt project was finished and was distributed thru the valiant efforts of one of our RfaC senior organizer.

Who says chivalry is dead? In these modern days there is a new breed of knights, modern knights with armored riding jackets on iron horses. They are forumers of MotorcyclePhilippines.com who have banded together from different motorcycle groups and clubs that wanted to share their blessings to the less fortunate. These riders are local tourists who mostly take rides along the countryside to get away from the busy urban life we are all used to.

Usually, rides are scheduled on Sunday mornings when the weather permits. Riders meet at a Shell gas station at Marcos Highway around dawn, go up the mountains thru Cogeo and thru Tanay. These riders traverse the twisting and winding roads to get to Laguna or Quezon, enjoy hot meals of bulalo and inihaw or hot lomi soups at a popular bulaluhan or lomi house then go back to Manila thru the same twisting and winding roads. And be back home in the afternoon, and have enough rest to go back to work the next day.

One of the more active clubs of the site, the Cavite Moto Club has pieced together a history of the evolution of their club in this thread in the forum.

As I was browsing the compact disk (CD) given by Sir Jon, our official photographer, which contained the photo shots of various CMC group rides for the past two years (the CD was intended for the photo story in Scooterista mag), I just can’t help but to relive the days when a bunch of motorcycle enthusiasts welcomed the opening of a group to Cavite riders for the main reason of getting enjoyment from riding to different scenic hotspots in the Philippines, particularly Luzon, and consequently gave way to the birth of Cavite Moto Club (2005).

Post by Reeman. Read more posts in the thread here.

Is an iron riding butt developed through practice or are just inborn to some? Well, members of Sunday Riders Club would find it out the hard way. With quite a few years of riding the short to medium routes, SRC members wanted to see if they have developed that “iron butt” needed to complete a North Luzon loop. Weeks of planning ensued: brainstorming sessions during tambays, consultations with SRC seniors and friends who have done the loop, then it was finalized; SRC is going to do the North Luzon loop ride. Sadly, months before the planned ride, Mgee figured in an accident doing the loop ride with another group. although still grieving for the loss of a Dear Ride Buddy Brother, Friend, Father and Mentor, SRC members were even more motivated to pursue this ride, not only for their own satisfaction, but also as a tribute to a fellow rider whose passion for biking was unparalleled.

What are these numbers? Speedo reading? Well, not exactly. 730, is actually the days that Xplorers Philippines had existed. Who would’ve thought that a simple z200 users’ get together initiated by Muska at the Motorstar Thread of Motorcycle Philippines would flourish into a club, of whom, now celebrating its 730 days of existence.

What exactly made its 730 days remarkable? Did 730 days of existence made any significant change in people’s lives? Let alone, the motorcycle community? These are just some of thoughts that came to my mind, as I am composing this article at 4:20am. I am not with Xplorers Philippines all those 730 days; I was in fact with Xplorers Philippines for only 615 days; so, to have a truthful opinion, I can only speak of those 615 days. Where they worth it?

It all started when bullseye and bugoi had a talk at the homecoming ride in Lucban last March 3 and indeed, the CMC overnight ride to Puerto Galera-Calapan-Mindoro happened just as fast as the snap of a finger or should I say as fast as the Super4 of Sir Richard? (ang bilis )

Initially, the plan was really at the end of March 2007 but due to some members’ schedule constraint, it was agreed that we push through and conquer Mindoro the week after our March 10 quick Marilaque ride and in consonance with Jon Carlos’ 3_th birthday on March 17. Seven riders and four backrides eventually confirmed to join the tour these includes: sir Bugoi, sir Peewee, sir Eagle1 & Ma’am Eagle2, sir Budz, sir JonCarlos and wife Kris, sir Richard & Ma’am Melody, Bullseye & yours Tru(ly)1209.

And the story goes like this…
