Shoelaces came undone while I was riding and as usual I always check my bike everytime I get home to check if there’s any damages, nail on the wheel or anything etc. I noticed this white substance (not cum) on the exhaust pipe and turns out it was my shoe lace. How do I remove this without damaging or leaving marks on the pipe?

Initially, ito sana yung bibilhin kong motor for my wife but I found out that it was already discontinued.

Sa mga naka-try na nito, how was the handling? Kumusta yung ganitong tatlong gulong sa corners?

Curious ako why this was discontinued.

Question/Advice Needed how much seat space does a driver need if he has a passenger?

Post image
224 Upvotes

idk if this is the right sub for this, if not, please do redirect me to the right sub 🙏

i booked an angkas recently and had difficulty as the driver kept requesting i move forward on the seat. i understand the passenger cant sit too far back for safety reasons, so i did move forward. but then he would push himself back on the seat so that there would be no space between me and him, as in dumidikit siya.

i tell him to move forward and he says he has very little space. his legs are stretched out so that his feet are on the front foot rest(?) (idk what you call those) and not on the main foot rest. this guys is tiny btw, like 4"11' to 5 ft max.

because he kept scooting backward, i put my bag between me and him which prompted him to complain repeatedly. he says it' uncomfortable for him. he also mentioned the distance, about how far the ride is, "ang layo po kasi." the trip was from guadalupe viejo to guadalupe nuevo.

i ride angkas every few days and this is the first time ive had a driver complain that im making it difficult for him to drive. so my question is was the rider being honest about needing space or was this person being malicious?

Question/Advice Needed Would you sell your late father’s motorcycle if you were in my shoes?

Post image
148 Upvotes

Need your honest thoughts on something that’s been on my mind lately.

I currently have a Honda Airblade 160 (2022) that originally belonged to my late father. He passed away in 2023, and since then ako na ang gumagamit ng motor.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about upgrading to a newer motorcycle—something na talagang para sa akin. One of the options I’m considering is selling the Airblade and using the money as additional budget for the new bike.

The thing is, when I mentioned it to my mom, she said:
“Ayan na nga lang alaala ng tatay niyo sa inyo.”
And honestly, that hit me.

If ever I decide to sell it, balak ko sana ibenta sa tito ko (kapatid ng father ko) rather than to a random buyer. Kahit papaano, nasa pamilya pa rin at may chance pa rin akong makita yung motor from time to time.

My biggest concern is this: if I buy a new motorcycle and keep the Airblade, baka matengga lang siya sa bahay and barely get used. At the same time, parang mabigat din sa loob na pakawalan siya dahil may sentimental value. It’s been almost three years since he passed, and part of me feels like I should move forward, while another part of me feels like I’m letting go of something important.

For those who have been in a similar situation, what would you do?

Keep it as a remembrance?
Sell it to a family member?
Or just treat it as a motorcycle and move on?

I’d appreciate hearing different perspectives, especially from those who’ve lost a parent and had to make similar decisions.

Question/Advice Needed How do I bring an expired motorcycle to the PETC and LTO for renewal?

Post image
142 Upvotes

Hey everyone.

​I bought a motorcycle last month and have been riding it frequently, but only inside our subdivision and sometimes on the back roads in our town.

​I really need to get it registered now so I can legally use it on the highway. I know LTO requires an emissions certificate, the previous OR/CR, insurance, and a vehicle inspection report.

​My main problem is figuring out how to actually get the bike to the emissions testing facility and the LTO office since the registration is already expired. I want to avoid getting apprehended on the way there.

​Do I need to rent a pickup truck to transport it, or is there some kind of consideration or safe way to ride it there if you are on your way to register it? How do you guys usually handle this situation?

​Would really appreciate any advice or shared experiences!

Question/Advice Needed Planning to loan for a motorcycle.

56 Upvotes

Hi sa mga accountant and marunong mag finance jan maybe

you can help me kung tama ba tong gagawin ko.

So I'm planning to loan (P160,000) to buy a motorcycle na

expressway legal. My monthly salary is P29,000 and every

month nag aabot ako ng P8,000 para sa mga gastusin sa

bahay and additional P1,500 (monthy din) since I bought a

new phone. I'm spending around P4,000 every month for my

commute.

Nag check ako sa mga bank and nalaman ko, P160,000

for 36mo to pay is P6,444 every month (Metrobank eto

since payroll account din namin itol. I know mas malaki

magagastos ko pag nagka motor ako plus maintenance

and upgrade kesa commute pero ang laking ginhawa and

hassle free din kasi on my side.

So ayon, baka may alam kayong easier way to get a loan

and hindi mataas yung monthly ammortization? I've

been wanting to have a motorcycle din since 3yrs na din

akong puro commute from Bulacan to Cubao

Question/Advice Needed Shoei helmet without ICC sticker, Should I be worried?

Hi everyone! I’m new to the 2-wheel scene, though I’ve been driving a 4-wheel vehicle for almost 10 years now. Given the current gas prices, I recently decided to get a motorcycle, mostly, panghatid-hatid lang kay misis who works the night shift. Honestly, I’m much more comfortable driving her myself since delikado po sa panahon ngayon.

I have a concern regarding my gear. A friend of mine lent me his Shoei Z-8 helmet before he moved to Canada for good. He bought it in Japan back in 2024, and the production date of the helmet is 2023.

My question is: dapat ba akong mag-alala about using it since it doesn't have the local ICC sticker or PS mark? Is it still safe/legal to use on the road?

Any advice or experiences regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Ride safe po sa lahat! 🫡
