yup, it's about freakin time! :banana: i haven't been home since moving to canada in 88'! sheeeesh! parang hindi n'ako marunong magtagalog! (i had to think before i typed :O )
so, i'd like to know about any good motorcycle shops to check out and maybe find some stuff that we don't get in n.america. and i wouldn't mind attending one of your meets if things work out! i'm a pretty active rider here and i'm always looking for new peeps to roll with! so, what types of places would any ya'll suggest i check out while i'm there? 'preciate any help! so much to see and do but soo little time! :cheers:
oh yes, here's a list of things you guys might take for granted being in the philippines!
nice weather off course!
halo halo
TAHO! my goodness i think i've forgotten how it tastes!
fiestas
big, i mean big, family gatherings!
and the list goes on and on . . .

hey romey! :wave:

well, nice to know you're going back home after a loooooonngg time! if you dig halo-halo - the best i have tasted is in quezon - lucban, quezon to be exact. another favorite place i take a guest/balikbayan is kamayan sa palaisdaan in tayabas, quezon - where you get to eat a hearty lunch in a hut floating on the fishpond.

btw, when are you arriving and how long will you be here? do visit us, SRC's at our hangout every saturday night!

if we get to, i'll treat you to halo-halo! (in quezon!)

hey, preciate the quick reply! i should be there end of june and staying for the month of july! mmm, kamayan, sounds like just the place i'm looking for! hmmmm, sunday riders club eh? sounds like a plan to me!

Nabanggit mo na labing pitong taon ka na nakaalis dito. Ilang taon ka noon? Malaki na ang pinag bago ng Pilipinas. Sigurado ako na magugulat ka dahil sa laki na ng pinagbago ng ating bansa. Taga saan ka dito?

Ano anong motor ang ginagamit mo dyan? Gaanong kalaki? Meron ka bang motor na gagamitin dito kung sakali man ayain ka namin tumakbo kung saan saan? Eto po ang aking numero ng telepono, kontakin mo ako pag dating mo at aking gagawaan ng paraan na masiyahan ka pag dinlalaw mo kami.

maraming salamat Herc! nako, talagang nahirapan ako noong binasa ko ito! pero naintindihan naman! so, taga BF Homes Paranaques ako pre! 12 years old lang ako noong lumipate kame dito, kaya ang tagalog ko ay "laboured". LOL! so, kung puede, mag ta-taglish na lang ako, okay? so, ang sinasakyan ko dito ay 86 Honda VFR 750. oh, have you guys heard about the Iron Butt?? eh, etong iron butt, kailangan mo ma cover ang 1000 Miles sa isang araw!! di, sinubukan ko, last month. biro mo, tinapos ko! eh di, i covered 1,819 kms in 19 hours, derecho!! Tapos, last week, kadadating ko lang galing sa east coast nang Canada. It was my longest ride ever! eh, mayrong akong conference na pinuntahan so i knocked two birds with one stone nah. eh, ang gandang ganda naman ang scenery at roads doon. took me 24 hours to get there! on my way, dinaanan ko ang vermont at Maine, eh paano, inulan naman ako! :{ for 20 hours it rained! pero pagdating naman, lumabas ang araw, and made it all worth while! okay, tama na, this is getting long(pinapraktis ko lang ang tagalog ko :) ). so, i'll keep you guys in mind when i get back, and hopefully my schedule will work out as i have too too many family to see (after a very long time) and too too many places to see. oh sige, i'll keep ya'll posted.

romey>>

Ayus! Your tagalog is not as bad as you think it is.

I know the ironbutt.... we do have our own version here too. That was cool :C . I could just imagine the scenic view you saw.

You are welcome to meet us or any anytime. Do you have a bike to use already? Since you'll be stay in in Paranaque area, just keep in touch :wave:

btw, Do you plan to get the "rare exhaust" you were looking for already for your VFR?...... di ko pa nalilimutan yon bro. :)

thanks for the compliment.v Don't worry ayain ko agad si romey dyan sa inyo

ha ha! okay nga no?!
yup the trip was awesome, i can't stop talking about it. took 7 rolls of film so i would love to share them. so, used to got to fort bonifacio when i was small but can't remember a dang thing! i'm getting too excited now, now that i'm thinking about it.
and nope, i don't have a ride down there, i might be the only one in my family that rides! even if i could hang with you guys to share some stories would be enough for me! i guess motorcycle culture and camaraderie is a standard across the globe! (this may sound stupid for you guys, but i'm concerned about accidents and medical coverage away from my other home . . . naaaaah!)
oh and thanks for remembering about the exhaust. well, i finally found one here, a yoshimura slip on from the collector back. i found it on ebay and it was a dang battle for it but i won (and paid for it :eek: ). but yeah, i'd be interested in finding things that we don't see in canada. cheers guys, i'll have a better idea of my schedule when i get there! :banana:
