About
Moto Photo Ph is where I will stash all my motorbike adventures starting August of 2018. Since diving became a business, riding a bike became my stress buster and my happy holiday away from the ocean (yeah it has come to that point)...
I got pulled into traveling by motorbike when I was based as an ad media expat in Vietnam (started with a pre owned Honda Cub and a a Vintage Vespa VBB in 2010) where before heading back to Manila, had a final Saigon to Vung Tau 400km tour which opened my eyes to the joys of traveling by motorbike.
my first bike in my lifetime, a Honda Cub 50cc, my weekend fun bike in Saigon 2009 |
second bike, a 1950 Vespa VBB where I had my first taste of a 400km Saigon-Vung Tau and back to Saigon adventure |
My Ride- Vietnam (one final 2011 ride Saigon to Vung Tau)
In Cambodia (short stint as Head of Sales-2015), I got hooked to the custom cafe / brat culture and bought and rebuilt my TU250 Brat which brought me to many places in Cambodia...
bought a 1995 Suzuki Grasstracker, but did a major asesthetic rebuild |
designed myself, the Grasstracker TU250gb make over resulted to a much sexier ride |
My Rides in Cambodia (2015 sojourns)
Back in Manila, bought my first bike, a pre-owned Yamaha XJR400 which I personally rebuilt as a brat/tracker/bobber sort of build. It always broke down and spent more time in shops than on the road so I bought myself a newer bike
a fugly pre owned XJR400 which I turned to a Brat/Tracker kinda thingy |
Tired from being in the garage more than on a ride, I picked up a pre-owned KTM Duke 200 February 2017 and learned more the technical side of riding via almost daily sojourns to Marilaque (Cafe Katerina, Jariels and Pililia Windfarms come to mind). Was a solid performer but needed more horses...
Bought Feb 2017, this bike taught me how to really ride..twice a week on the Marilaque twisties |
Here is a collection my adventures with mostly new found buddies and our respective rides pre May 2018... if you want to join us, don't hesitate to call me at +639159473888 or send me a pm on Facebook,
