Why summertime is called “riding season” is beyond me. Personally, I think the best time to ride is between September and February when we have milder and cooler weather. While motorcycle riding for some is a matter of choice, it is a matter of necessity for others. So if you have to ride under the sun, remember to keep hydrated to avoid health concerns. We highly recommend to always bring one of those thermal steel water bottles that are all the rage these days. Just say no to single-use plasti

What makes motorcycles interesting is that they are wonderfully paradoxical machines. You somehow get an idea of how they would perform based on the spec sheet, but sometimes you will have a different impression after spending some saddle time. Case in point, the new Yamaha Mio Gravis. Just launched at the 15th Inside Racing Bikefest this weekend, I initially had an issue with the Mio Gravis’ price tag of ₱92,900.

Kamote is real. For those who don't know, kamote (Filipino for "sweet potato") is a derogatory term for drivers, particularly motorcyclists, who behave badly on the road. While it is so, I do believe that most “kamote moves” exhibited by some fellow motorcycle riders on the road are unintentional and mainly a result of ignorance of road-safety standards and traffic laws. So let us rid ourselves of such dangerous practices and start anew in 2023 with the proper safety-riding mindset. Here are a f

We can always rely on Yamaha to develop exciting new technological features for their popular scooter line-up. The most recent one they have introduced is the Yamaha Lean Light Assist (Y-LLA) function which can be found on their latest offering, the Augur. Launched in Taiwan a week ago, the Augur is dubbed Yamaha Taiwan’s “smart flagship scooter.” The front features tri-spoke LED running lights that give it a distinct character.
