Last weekend, Yamaha took their Mio Gear Playground campaign to SM City Cebu, and I was privileged to witness the action-packed mall event in person. This activity aims to highlight the robustness and versatility of the Yamaha Mio Gear. Indeed, it is one tough scooter, despite its relatively modest 125cc displacement. In fact, I’ve already had the pleasure of riding it through lahar to go moto camping. It would seem that the Mio Gear could do anything and go anywhere except maybe traverse the to

During this long weekend, I am sure that most of us went on a trip somewhere to escape the city's chaotic vibe.

So the heritage brand from Milwaukee has been busy addressing this dilemma and came up with the Harley-Davidson X350. Not a V-twin, not a cruiser too The Harley-Davidson X350 is powered by a

Para sa akin, astig ang Kawasaki kung i-kukumpara sa ibang “big four” brands. Parang breath of fresh air and dating sa akin ng pagka non-PC (politically correct) na brand image nito. Sa Kawasaki launches lang din ako nakakakita ng pole dancers. Ang lupit, ‘di ba? Bilib din ako sa marketing style nila na madalas ay nakaka one-up sa competition. Parang noong inilabas ng Honda ang kinikilala ng karamihan na isa sa mga unang superbike, ang CB750, noong 1968. Tinapatan agad ito ng Kawasaki ng sarili
