The Philippine motorcycle industry is a late-bloomer of sorts compared to neighboring markets in the Southeast Asian region. Yet Filipino riders, it seems, are making up for lost time and have been making waves to get recognition on the world stage. I suppose one of the best ways to get noticed is to set a Guinness World Record and we have made quite a few, even breaking a couple of previous records in recent years.

As the year ends, let us discard our bad habits and adopt the pro
