Rainy season = dalawang kalaban: visibility at traction. Kasama si Coach Mel Aquino, JC Santamarina (WWR/Ride Manila), at Gen Tiu (PIAA Lights PH), binuo natin ang ulan playbook—mula skills to gear—para maka‑uwi ka nang buo at basa lang ang kalsada, hindi ikaw.What you’ll learn (quick hits):Skills vs ego: Bagalan kapag mahina ang kita, dahil vision first before speed.Smooth is fast: Walang biglang clutch/brake sa liko—think “slow, scan, lean, roll” + engine braking at proper body position. (Lean in/with/out; gyroscopic effect explained.)Road wisdom: Hydroplaning basics, tire tread reality, at bakit delikado ang “blanket of white light” sa fog.Gear that actually helps:PIAA dual‑color lights (220R): Yellow for rain/fog; hybrid/white for clear roads—pero kung near‑zero visibility… huwag na lumabas.Shark helmets: Integrated brake light (with accelerometer), ECE 22.06, pinlock included—visibility and safety na built‑in.Held gloves w/ visor wiper: Ventilated touring gloves na may pang‑punas sa visor—low‑tech, high impact.Cardo intercoms: IP67 waterproof; group comms = shared visibility; may SOS/crash‑detect option sa Pro.Falco boots: Waterproof/breathable, D3O protection, at oil‑ and water‑resistant soles (goodbye, madulas na sneakers).Airbag vest: Kasi kahit prepared at skilled ka, may ‘what if’ pa rin.P.S. LIVE na tayo tuwing Tuesdays—same time, same place.

KTM’s orange road just took a sharp turn. In this episode, we unpack the pandemic boom-and-bust that led to inventory pileups, the distributor shuffle in the Philippines, and why Bajaj stepping in could reshape KTM and Husqvarna locally. What should current owners expect for parts, service, and support in the next 6–12 months? And why does the mid-size segment (390/450/890) matter more than ever? Plus: MotoGP, “win on Sunday, sell on Monday,” and our take on how the brand rebuilds community after a long pit stop. P.S. TNR goes live Tuesdays (same time, same place)

Not all rides for a cause are created equal. Some build communities, others just build hype.

In this episode, we sit down with Raymon Gabriel of Breakfast Ride PH and Together We Ride, along with Joey Ermita and Fred Penales, to talk about the real impact of advocacy rides. We unpack the heart behind these rides, how they measure true community support, and where some “rides for a cause” may be missing the mark—or worse, exploiting the communities they claim to help.

From organizing relief efforts for calamity-stricken areas to empowering marginalized communities through fundraising and donation drives, Raymon has helped redefine what it means to ride with purpose.
