I just heard over the radio this morning what was being discussed in the forum for weeks now. All bikes are now banned from the SLEX. As far as the report was concerned they were only talking about the SLEX and have no word about the NLEX, Coastal Road and the Star Tollways.
This was in keeping with the Supreme Court decision banning all bikes from Limited Access Facilities, and the DOTC(?) order naming the various freeways as LAF’s, according to the report on radio. The funny thing is that, as stated in the report, they will start citing violators but will not issue tickets since they still have to wait for the implementing rules and regulations (IRR) of the ban.
From the moment this battle started, it was, and still is an uphill battle, even if the community as one came together, we still have to battle public opinion. One text from a listener even went as far as saying that all bikes need to banned from all major roads in the city, including EDSA, C5 and Roxas Boulevard. Now this may seem like a far fetched idea, but it really reflects on one major issue that all motorcyclists have to deal with day in and day out. We have an image problem. This will take a while to fix but this division between the community is not helping this or any cause we are trying to push forward.
Always the optimist, I hope this is a case of a step back to leap to steps forward, maybe it’s time we start acting as a real community and act as one.
i have big bikes ,ihave smaller bikes, i have cars and vans pero di ako tulad ni bigbiker na gago.

Exactly meron nga post lang ng post na di marunung mag isip muna. Feeling ewan nga daw. ha ha ha
@zander #46
galit yan kasi di sya maka habol sa smaller bikes. bopols kasi nakasakay.
@ bigbikers #7
If that is your point of view eh di wag mo din pagpilitan sarili mo. bumili ka ng kotse mang utang ka muna as said sa iba.. Wag ka ma inget sa small bikers na mas mabilis sa yo. Durog ba ego mo doon?
@ bigbikers #38
same to you. mag bus ka nalang kung wala ka pambili ng car.
#55
Two thumbs up for you buddy. Well said.
@banned user #40
oo nga nonsense si bigbiker kung yan ang arguement nya. wag din nya pilitin sarili nya tapos mangutang din sya para bumili ng car, tulad sabi nya sa mga naka under bone.
#52
bayaan na natin yan. feel nya yan para ma pansin sya. alam natin inutil yan.
PARA PORMA KAHIT WALA.
SINU GUSTO 5/6 ?
Fortunately, I can afford a big bike. I just don’t buy it, as there is no sensible need for me to do so (except of course for “feel-good†factor, which I do not have the need to address
tama ka. iba jan heheh insecure
bigbiker,
ganun din gawin mo wag mo pilitin sa yo , mas magaling ka pa sa batas. kung di mo kaya bumili ng car mangutang ka din tulad sa sinabi mo. alryt? wag sobra feelings masama yan sa kalusugan mo. ha hah
@rcdizo
may mga utak talangka kasi .
boyet,
ano panga ba kung ganya yan mag post (#7) sobra feeling ewan yan. saksak nya sa baga nya panis sya.
@bigbikers
hoy mag isip ka muna kung may isip ka before posting. kaya maraming nagagalit sa yo. sige mga tol pag pasensyahan na mga ibang bopols dito.
at the sta rosa exit last sunday morning, i was again told by a shotgun wielding security guard that bikes are now banned. i told him once again to put up signages. meanwhile, charming toll attendant motioned guard not to talk to me right where we were blocking other motorists on that lane. this afternoon on my way back to manila, it was a breeze and no accosting or anything at all. also was extra exhilarating as uchie, my super4, is finally giving me my vtec, after having been gorged by way too much engine oil courtesy of my plain ignorance. but that’s altogether a different story.
so whats the current final word?>
i am hearing about people being turned around at the toll and not being allowed access, while also hearing about people being able to get through one exit down… anyone know whats currently happening.
So, when do we get on the road? Big bikes and small bikes alike.
I think blocking the entire Magallanes or Balintawak with several thousand bikes would be visible enough, especially during the morning rush hour (cooler too;-). Maybe one first day and the other second day or both at the same day if we have the bikes…
Don’t loose the focus guys!
agree ako we should implement 2 suggestions here:
1. publish the name and address of people responsible for this ban and let us boycott/embargo them. refuse to sell them anything,refuse to buy anything from them,im an electrician, i promise not to give him my services even if he is the last customer on earth.
2. let us block the tollbooths simply by showing up in front of the booths even if they turn us back. then come back after 5 minutes. i will personally do that starting this sat.
nood na lang muna kayo para mabawasan init ng ulo

hoy bigbikers sisihin mo ba naman mga na underbones kung di ka naman walang hiya at kwangol. bobo ka ba? dami na galit sa yo ah.
cool lang mga guys ganyan talaga sa forums may naliligaw na wala sa tamang hulog gaya ng post #7 meron talaga sayad at di nag iisip. ksp baga.
SO DO WE JUST GIVE OUR COMMENTS??? OR WE GO OUT THERE AND DO WHAT SHOULD BE DONE…HOW ABOUT WE START THIS MONDAY…ANYONE GOING???
i just got thru @ the bicutan entrance this morning… i would have asked but i didnt want to be late for work this morning…
so i’m not sure how toll crashing is going to work if they are letting people thru.
hahaha mga patawa naman kau, paghinuli kau at nakabigbike kayo, hulihin nyo rin mga naka bigbike na umiiskort na pulis dyan. Dapat walang discrimination at walang excemption sa batas.
siguro maglakad na lang tayo ibalik na lang lahat ng motorcycle sa bansang nagdadala dito kase baka balang araw bawal na din bumili ng kahit anong klaseng MC so what is the sense all what we are fighting for, best thing for the manufacturer we buy the MC to them they must to create a road fot it, so thats the business how’s supposed to be. as fas as we know even in other country small displacement have a right place to go and have a restrictions and law we cannot demand like a bicycle can pass through any hi ways, hope we have all the points we need to know, we are all concerned about what happening now in our country as for me we need really a good and clever administration to our country to sorted all these crisis.
@myk

@marlon

insecure yan si bigbikers. wala kasi nag pa utang sa kanya pambili car. hehehe
bigbikers,
ano ba problema mo? mahiya ka sa post mo ungas ka.
WTF? all people are mad with one stupid guy in this forum.
hello mga bros,
d ba kyo nagtataka bkit dito sa bandang south expressway tollbooth namely calamba, mamplasa, carmona, southwoods at susana ay pinagbabawal ang bigbike at sa pa alabang hangang magallanes ay di bawal.
mukha walang proper info ang mga tauhan ng pncc at mismo sila sila di alam ang kanilang pinagsasabi.subukan nyong magtanong kaibigan.
khapon lang nakakita ako naka underbone humalataw pa manila, bat di nila hinuli yun, at myron ako nakausap sa may southwoods na teller na nasa descression ng guard daw kun mkakapasok ang bigbike sa loob…. mga p***** ina nyo…. magsi ayos nman kyo at maraming na tao ang napeperwisyo.
kun bawal motor sa slex dapat bawal din yun mga motor n gamit ng patrol. THE LAW APPLIES TO ALL OR TO NO ONE AT ALL
I bought my big bike to use it to go to work, and be able to pay gov’t taxes. From laguna, it is very convenient to use the expressway at 60kph. Now that bigbikes are banned, from 45mins to manila, takes me 1.5 to 2hrs… Only in the philippines that they’re banning bigbikes from expressway! What can we do? wait and hope that a better lawmaker will come to save us all.
cheers!
i recently exited at the susana(muntinlupa) exit coming from manila. and one tollway officer told me about the banning of all motorbikes as implemented as of Aug 1st, using the SLEX. Upon returning i entered the Alabang tollway and it was just as nothing was implemented. So whats the real score.
I bought my trike recently, I swear no one can forbid me riding and going to places that I want. peace brother!
SANA MAGKAISA NA LANG TAYO MGA RIDERS AT WAG TAYO MISMO ANG MAG AWAY AWAY. LET US ALL RIDERS MAKE OUR PRESENCE FELT BY UNITING AND CONDUCTING ONE BIG RALLY RIDE. SANA MAG INITIATE ANG MPF AND AM SURE THIS WILL HAVE THE IMPACT THAT WE BADLY NEED TO OVERTURN THIS UNFORTUNATE DECISION FROM SOME DISSOLUTIONED PERSONS/AGENCY..
oo nga eh. ang nag umpisa kasi yun si bigbikers post nya sa #7 at #38 napaka bobo kaya maraming naka underbones na galit sa kumag na yan. utak TALANKA nga daw sya. hehehe
@mraldnyt
well said. THE LAW APPLIES TO ALL OR TO NONE AT ALL . GUSTO KASI NI BIGBIKERS EXEMPTED SYA. BOBO TALAGA MORON.
I ride my 125cc bike for my daily commuter then the 400cc for joy rides.
Why won’t some underbone riders accept the fact that if all the underbone riders are let through the expressways the roads will be more hazardous.
take note:
1. which type of motorcycle are visible on the streets?
2. which type of motorcycle would you normally see swerving around narrow roads?
3. keeping in mind how small an underbone is, would a 10 wheeler truck see it if it’s zipping along specially at the right side? they wouldn’t even hear your horn or your open pipe.
4. if a below 400cc bike got into an expressway during night time, would it be visible enough for a tall vehicle traveling at 140KPH and the weather condition is foggy? you’re reflective jackets won’t save you.
5. a below 400cc bike is running in front of a wide vehicle and the bike is preventing the vehicle to go on any faster. another faster vehicle will try to overtake the wide one on the back of the bike because it is unaware that there’s a small bike in front of it. what will happen? when the overtaking fast vehicle tries to cut in the bike will be hit by it’s rear end.
face it. non 400cc bikes are road hazards on expressways.
btw.
yung mga galit sa mga pro banning sub 400cc bikes ang sinasabihan nila ng isip talangka.
sir hazardus po ung mga sub 400 sa mga taong walang desiplina. kasi kahit gaano kalaki bike mo same lang din po yang 2 gulong. kaya please don’t discriminate. ung ibang naaksidente na lowbie kasi dinadya din ng ibang driver din, pero check nyo ang mga pulis naka 100cc lang o 175cc o 200cc na bike lumalabas ng slex o nlex hindi naman naaksidente at hindi din hinuhuli. kasi iniiwasan sila. Peace po wag na mag talo. ang point lang dito is they discriminate the small bikers pero hindi nila alam same lang un.
I agree with RonM, matter of fact riders with smaller bike are less careful than big bike riders.
I don’t see much big bikes swerving between cars and truck or changing lanes without even taking a look in the mirrors (when they have mirrors).
Most of the time, big bike riders are wearing safety gears not just short and sleepers
So first before claiming access to the highways, it could be good to show safer attitude while riding.
Then everybody will agree banning motorcycle on highways will sound kinda stupid or a discrimination
Last question, aren’t tricycles 125cc and above ?
Everybody ready to see them on highways ? Think about it
I am new to the site but i understand that many of the cyclist with the small cc bikes want to have rights to travel same roads as the big bikes. But what i would like to comment on is if you did take a poll of how many big bikes swerve in and out of traffic even when sitting a red light you would see that it is 1 out of 100 only to the small bikes. I own 2 big bikes and a small bike myself so i can ride either way either to the local market or take a cruise. I have just witnessed first hand a small bike that has been involved in a incident and left the rider serverly hurt due to his negligence to safety and the motorist that drove the vehicle was almost involved in another accident due to the small bike. And another point is that you never ever see more then 2 riders on a big bike unlike small bikes with 4 plus riders wearing no safety gear or any respect to the babies that are being transported. So with that said i agree keep the small bikes off the major roads for the protection of the motorist and the small children that have no choice when the irresponsible adults ride them in multiples with total disregard to safety.
