Free ride, road safety and rainbows

So yesterday, I was with my partner and we when to the Safety and Security with Responsible Riding Seminar at Diego Mojica Memorial School, General Trias, Cavite with Club SZ-R PH NCRSS and Motorcycle Rights Organization (Cavite/South). You must be wondering how we got to the venue…
How else we rode a motorcycle!

Do you see me?

Here is what happened from McDo Macapagal, we meet up with the Club SZ-R PH NCRSS, they are a group guys that rides the Yamaha SZ-R. Around I think 6:30 we left for McDoms. Check out the route below. I just hope it’s accurate.

Then at McDoms we merged with the people from Motorcycle Rights Organization (Cavite/South), and then it was another hour or so to Diego Mojica Memorial School, General Trias, Cavite. It was fun being on the road to a new place with other riders. Here is the route.

look at all those bike

After the registration we basically waited for the seminar to start. The seminar is for you to learn, it's a 100 php and if you want to have an id proving you are a member you just have to fill out the form, give you photo and add 150php. The seminar was about road safety, they are the basic but most of the time forgotten. This is now the only seminar they have another was being done in Silang according to the organizer.

There are a few things I have learned from the convoy and the seminar

Gear up – means it’s time to get ready we are about to “take off”. Start wearing your helmets, jackets, vest and gloves

Take off - Time to ride

There is one or two riders that will help in keep the line orderly,They also the ones checking if all is still with the group. They block traffic if needed

Hand and foot signs are important! (I wish I could have taken photos of them). Here are some and there meaning.

  • Thumb up – is not a like. It is to tell that you can counter flow
  • Over head pointing right or left – is telling you that the pack is turning eight or left
  • If you are beside a rider and you see that they are letting you pass – you better do it as you might be being left behind if you do not know the route you better follow
  • Extending you foot – this is to point out if there pothole
  • The number 1 sign – this is to have the pack in a single file
  • \m/ - is to have the in two lines (making this sign and flip it will tell the group that they can switch places with the rider beside them)

Always check you motorcycle before riding it B.L.O.W.B.A.G I think still applies to motorcycles

B- Battery
L- Lights
O- Oil
W- Water
B- Brakes
A- Air
G- Gas

When you are about to go for a ride make sure that you ride from the left side (I fail to understand why too sleepy)


Here are some of the photos we took

All of these things make me want a motorcycle for myself. Maybe in the future after I get my insurance back and a driver’s license. It's not that complete but I hope this helps. 


This day turn out pretty well maybe it was because of the double rainbow
