sana mabasa din ito ng ibang baguhan din sa pagmomotor....sasabihin nyo wala kayong pera, c'mon nakabili nga tayo ng motor eh:rolleyes:

sana magkaron din sir ng gear show sa mga bike shows para mapansin ng lahat ang kahalagahan ng gears...
ung tipong minomodel ng hot chicks kasi mukhang pag ganon naakit agad ang mga starters mag motor e,nakaka agaw pansin ika nga
dumaan din ako dito and still upgrading my gears sa twing magkakapera

safety and functionality first!!

nice one sir Ted!! :D

parang yung nakita ko sa SM parking.. naka x-1R napatingin sa motor ko tapos hinintay nya kong tumingin sa kanya tapos sabay tingin sa x1-r nya.. suot ng helmet nampucha kulay pulang tabo na may manipis na strap.. :O


up ko lang para mabasa nang lahat..

buti pa ung iba nakastock bikes pero invest muna sa safety gears. galing!

That's a good point to raise out bro. Here in Iloilo the last time I attended a motorshow the entrants also have to display their helmets, but sad to say alot of them borrow helmets from their friends to showcase it. If they can afford to soup up their bikes definitely they can afford to buy better helmets.

May formula ang pag compute ng cost ng helmet eh:

Helmet Cost = estimated value of your head (divided by) fair market value of your bike.

This means kung mas mahal pa ang market value ng motor mo sa ulo mo, huwag ka na lang mag helmet.

hindi nila naisip na mas pogi yung mga motor nila pag pogi din yung helmet.

Unless ipa repaint din nila mga mukha nila. Kung naka souped up bike ka pero hindi ka naman kagwapuhan eh mag helmet ka na lang.

Di ba nila alam na mas napapansin ka sa kalye kapag naka full gear ka! E minsan pa nga hindi na nila napapansin kung anung bike ang dala mo e dahil sa get up mo na sila nakatingin.

Yung mga naka-cage nga napuna ko na kapag naka gear ka mas nirerespeto ka nila at nagbibigay sila ng space sayo kapag sisingit ka.

At one incident nung nag-long ride kami ng friend ko papuntang caliraya pinara kami ng check point. Hindi nako hiningan ng pulis ng rehistro at lisensya at sabi pa niya "Sir, okay lang, tutal alam naman namin na syo talaga yang motor dahil sa suot nyo. Kung makakabili kayo ng ganyan kasuotan na mamahalin e malamang kaya nyo bilin itong motor nyo" sabi nung pulis. Wawang kasama ko halos lahat ng ID hinanapan sya kasi naka jacket and helmet lang sya.

ideally kasi dapat unang binibili ay helmet etc.. but in reality, hindi ito nangyayari, i think nasa culture na ng pinoy rider ang ganito, inuuna yung MC baka ma -out of stock :) ( disclaimer : hindi lahat ha ).. Kanina lang on my way to work.. may nakasabay ako, hood nung jacket nya naka saklob sa ulo nya...ano kayang proteksyon maibibigay sa kanya nun pag sumemplang sya with his speed na 80kph ( same speed as mine ).

parang yung naka R1 na nakita namin.. INDEX(local) ang helmet tapos nong napansin nyang yun lagi ang tinitignan namin and not his bike, ayun, the follwing week, SHOEI na ang helmet!! hehehehe

wala pa syang safety gears..suot lang yung long sleeve nya..

i usually wear my helmet, elbow pad and knee pad during my weekly ride pauwi sa province namin. usually ang reaction nila is " porma ah, magkakarera ba?"

i usually answered back na" kulang pa nga to, kailangan ko pang bumili nang body armor"

bat ganun? parang pagtatawanan ka pa pag naka full gear ka? lalo na dito sa visayas. usually ini expect nila mag full gear ka pag may rides lang.

kailangan lang talaga i start natin ipa uso yun.

tama! ito rin pinagtataka ko! you can afford to buy a motorcycle and even make an expensive upgrades.... pero hindi makabili ng tamang helmet.... i mean... at least yung maganda, and nasa safety standard...



ako nung bago ko binili motor ko... i made sure na may helmet muna ako.. kasi alam ko pag ginamit ko na yung motor ko, buhay ko na ang nakasalalay at newbie rin ako that time sa ride... kahit di gaano kamahal... basta sure yung quality sana tangkilikin natin....para nari sa ating safety.

mga sir, asko ko lang po kung safe po ba gamitin yung helmet na worth Php 2,300? kasi dalawa helmet ko yung isa CARTING (not sure) tsaka INDEX.. yung INDEX padala sa akin ng DAD ko dunno the exact price.. tapos yung CARTING naman ako lang bumili...

SAFE PO BA YUNG MAG YUN??? sabi po kasi pag mura di maganda ang quality....

tignan mo yung mga DOT marked helmets....im on the bridge of saving my bucks for a DOT marked helmet... im currently using GDR helmet.

ito kung gusto nyo ng mura na quality helmet go for zeus for only 2500 kung meroon ka 3000 dun ka sa hjc kung 4500 dami ka na pwede bilihin dito na helmet ikaw nalang ang mamili.

@SHOPRO: may DOT po yung INDEX ko but the CARTING eh wala... salamt

@SHAN: salamat po sa reply..

ipon pa siguro ulit... damaged na kasi yung CARTING nung naaksidente ako... TNX again

nakakinis lang pag nanakaw yung mamahaling gamit, happened to me once so ngaun, ganda ng motor ko pero tabo helmet ko huhuhuh

Hay naku Col Ted,

Good to know your thread is not bashed yet. Sad but MCP is also populated with people who will tell you, mind your own business. No matter what you do, they will still insist it is their own choice, money and risk.

Watch mode here and those who fell referred to will just pop up and give a thousand and one excuses.

Nice thread though:)

nung naglabas ako ng xrm 125 may kasama siyang helmet, yun bang buong mukha ang face shield pero walang chin guard, di rin naman dot approved kaya after a month and about 500 kms, bumile ako ng ZEUS 508W modular :) got myself an AXO knee and shin guard and a leather jacket too.

dito naman pag naka safety gears ka, gustong gusto kang sasabayan at revrevan at naka t-shirt o kaya sando, shorts and at worse, tsinelas lang sabay yusi pa.. aay ewan... matindi siguro ang built-in body pads nila at mga gamit na "concrete/asphalt blocker"...

cheers....:*

oh well.. ganun talaga mga sirs and sis..

just crazy.. but that's all there is.. MOVIE.. puwede ka mag take 2..3 pag sumabit..

d2 sa atin once you're dead.. you're DEAD.. no take 2.. 3.. etc..
WEAR YOUR GEARS mga kapatid..

TUMPAK ka dyan sir. sa helmet po if ever involve na sa accident dapat nang palitan.. kakabili ko lang ng ZEUS 508 at ganun din ang nakasulat sa manual nya..

OT.. Tnx pala sa motoworld global city for the nice helmet:clap:

Really? Could you please point out the offending post I made that fit your exact description. Puro ka parinig.

oh..ow... watch mode... ...

microwave popcorn---- Checked!!
Music Play list -------- Checked!!
Coke 1.5 liter/ice ----- Checked!!

lets watch!!

because most drivers does not understand what safety for, they taught your a newvies if your wearing a protection gear. What a sad truth?

i agree with you, your a smart rider. anice ride must come with a nice protection.

I just don't get it!....sa araw-araw na lang na pagmomotor ko pagpasok sa work, dami kong nakikitang beautiful bikes i.e. dressed & soup ubones, scoots etc.....i even envy them for having such nice bikes....but to my surprise, they just wear cheapo helmets.....parang "tabo" ika nga.....don't these people value their lives?....when will they ever learn....di mo naman masabi na dahil baguhan lang...dumaan din ako dyan yet eventually nagupgrade ng helmet at gears agad dahil alam kong delikado ang pagmomotor....kasi even sa office ganyan din ang scenario....people kept on upgrading to newer bikes...yet still use the same cheap helmets.......pag nakagear ka naman, they look to you as an overkill......duh???......let's see whose overkill once parehas taung kumalat sa kalye.......marami mas mahal pa ang bike nila kesa sa sarili....pansinin nyo rin, laging sidelined ang safetiness ng rider...even on bike shows, di ito nabibigyan ng emphasis....much attention is drawn on who's got the best set up bikes.....safety awareness comes on the side lines.....dapat mas mabigyan ng emphasis ito as vital part ng rider education.......di puro pormahan at pabilisan na lang....:o

tama ka sir ang dami dami kong nakiikitang mga modz na bike now pero helmet either index na mumurahin o something else, katwiran ng iba, pag oras muna oras muna, eh andun na nga me kaso syempre kelangan magingat at unahin mo sarili mo, invest protection gears.... iba ang sabi ang mahal daw, haynko., di nila narealize ang buhay iisa lang...........

Nice thread though:)hehe....i was expecting that before i created the thread, Sir Mika:D.......popcorns, soda and my microwave are all prepared here:)......di talaga mawawala ang thread bashers at matitigas ang ulo.....we'll see how hard their heads are when they experience a nasty spill.....i've known several people saved by their not-so-pricey yet rated helmets:clap:.....hopefully, this thread would serve as an eye opener to everybody especially the newbies......kadalasan kac ang initial concern lang ng newbies ay kung paano pabilisin at papogiin ang rides nila....thanks anyway!:*

ako proud talaga magsuot ng helmet
kahit san pumunta...dahil helmet ko
DOT certified

isa pa, pagnaka-gears ako
sarap ng feeling kase
kahit pano alam ko
na safer ako with gears

Well I think most of our motorcycle brothers who spends most of their money on their bikes and don't want to wear helmet or just those bucket lids wants other people to recognize the rider. They want other people to recognize them that they are the owner of a cool bike but not considering the fact if they get a face plant their face would be anonymous for quite some time from all the bandages covering it if they're lucky enough.

Dami dito sa amin gaganda ng motor pero kung aalis ng medyo may kalayuan punta sila ng bahay. "Pahiram ng helmet" hehehe. Dalawa helmet ko minsan parehas pang nahiram. Di ko naman pedeng ipagdamot kasi baka kung may mangyari sa kanila pagsisihan ko pa.

Really? Could you please point out the offending post I made that fit your exact description. Puro ka parinig.


Need help? I can pm you the number and they will be glad to assist you. You just have to spend for it:D Can you respect the TS just the same:)

Seriously dude, I am really wondering what post I made that could have possibly offended the TS kasi I am totally with the TS regarding his topic. In my attempt to be humorous and tounge-in-cheek, baka na misinterpret yung post ko.

Was it this?

This part of my post could have been the culprit

but it was not aimed at the TS. If the TS misinterpreted it as so then my apologies because it was not meant for him. This post was meant for the people he started the thread for. If it was meant for him, I would have quoted his initial post or added @Col.Ted or @threadstarter before my post.

Otherwise, if you think my post is offensive just point it out and tell me why it was offensive. Matino naman akong kausap eh. Hindi lang ako mind reader.

But please read again my Helmet Cost formula because it is supposed to be funny. Parang derivation yun ng original helmet cost theory na "150 peso helmet for a 150 peso head".

Parang derivation yun ng original helmet cost theory na "150 peso helmet for a 150 peso head".honestly, sir Gundam....I don't find any of your posts offending.....medyo nagkaiba lang siguro kau ng points of views ni sir Mika at di nagkaintindihan...wag na lang po tayo magpersonala or don't mention any names as much as posibble..though the formula is okay, let's not put a price on our heads para di na gumulo ang usapan...as i see it thru the said formula, mas marami ang magrereact....anyway,bago pa humaba ito....let's just put the issue into rest since obvious naman na iisa lang naman ang adhikain natin....:D

Madami talgang rider na inuuna ang pag papa modify ng mc nila kaysa mag invest ng gears! period! some cost for about 5k for a mono shock pero ung helmet nya e isang mumurahin.. parnag mas mahal pa nya mc nya kaysa sa ulo nya.Kung helmet nga e di makapag invest much more pa sa knee/sheen/elbow guard at body armor. Gaya ng sinabi ng isang forumer na ang katuwiran ng iba e kung oras mo na e oras mo na, tama un.. pero na po-postpone(tama ba?) un pag sinamahan ng konting pag iingat.

sencia na po sa mga natamaan.IMHO lang.

sa laki ng nagastos sa modifications, can't afford na to buy a good quality helmet:?

sa laki ng nagastos sa modifications, can't afford na to buy a good quality helmet:?

this is very right sa sobrang dami naku! naubusan ng pambili.. teka...gusto ba talgang bumili o walng kabalak balak bumili?puro mods nalng..

Or baka naman po kanila nga po yung lokal/japeyks na helmet pero hindi naman po kanila yung magarang bike na dala nila! :D...hiram lang saglit! :O

most probably they think that all helmets are the same...and they don't know the difference at all....

o kaya naman...mas matigas ang ulo nila kaysa sa kalsada...he he he

seriuosly speaking...i hope they consider getting good quality helmets before its too late...

Good Helmets:

usually kasi people thinks na ok lang walang helmet, buy lang sila low quality para lang di mahuli nang LTO. its sad nga kasi i usually hear people say na bibili na helmet para iwas huli. they mislooked the real reason for buying helmets talaga.

kulang lang po talaga sa education about safety gears ang mga pinoy. IMHO lang po

di lang yun bro...many people still think that all helmets are the same...that's why some even ride wearing the any of the following helmets:
> Soldier's helmet
> Hard Hard (Construction Worker's Helmet)
> bicyclist helmet
....or even MC helmets w/o or damaged ng inner liners or shell....

sana magkaron din sir ng gear show sa mga bike shows para mapansin ng lahat ang kahalagahan ng gears...
ung tipong minomodel ng hot chicks kasi mukhang pag ganon naakit agad ang mga starters mag motor e,nakaka agaw pansin ika nga
