Tagaytay Breakfast Ride Nov. 11, 2007

Photobucket Album

Here are the accounts of the Tagaytay quick ride last Sunday, November 11, 2007 by Coolworld, Bravo_Henry and Marjiancanya.

It was around 8 p.m. of Saturday, when Cool texted me if I am available for a quick ride to Tagaytay. This was a request from his wife who seems to become a ride addict since joining the every ride of PBRC. At first, it was hard for me to convince my wife to join because she’s not used of a long trip riding an MC and besides, I already made an earlier plan of bringing her and my kids to Church and KFC on Sunday. Using all my charm and convincing power, finally, my wife agreed.

Sunday morning came and my wife woke up early to prepare the stuffs that we need to bring to Tagaytay. It’s exactly 6:10 a.m. when we dropped by Shell Gas Station in Alabang near Metropolis to fill up my Bravo. While filling up, Cool texted me again informing me that he and his wife are already in Honda Cars Alabang waiting for us. It only took 10 minutes to reach the location where Cool and Josephine (Arlan’s wife) are waiting and for the first time, we introduced our wives to each other. I learned also from Cool that Henry and his wife are also joining the ride.

We took the route of Daang Hari and after reaching the road which separates Silang and Dasmarinas Cavite, we waited there for Henry’s arrival. It took us about 30 minutes of waiting, so, the four of us (Cool, Josephine, my wife Marj and I) got the chance to talk about our family and some personal matters (it’s secret!!). We even discussed the methods of family planning. Hahahaha.

Finally, Henry and his wife arrived! Henry informed us that he knows a short cut going to Tagaytay using the Silang route. Henry spearheaded the group, and Cool served as the Sweeper (as usual!). Along the way, we passed through a deep sloped road which I estimate at about 60+ to 70 degrees when my Bravo went off because I mistook of shifting to 3rd gear without using the 1st gear. After that incident, we successfully and finally reached Tagaytay at around 9a.m. and the guys decided first to look for an eatery serving hot “bulalo” for our breakfast. We entered an eatery near Petron Gas Station and thinking that it’s like ordering a “bulalo” from Mang Vic’s in Marilaque, I immediately ordered for 3 servings. Little did I know that an order of bulalo costs P300.00 pala per servings excluding the rice!!! After knowing how expensive the bulalo is, we immediately went off our seats and decided to look for another one which serves cheaper. Of course, we apologized to the eatery owner. After several questions of looking for a place to some people of Tagaytay, we went to a market where a lot of eatery serving “bulalo” is located. While waiting for our food to be served, a lot of vendors approached us and offered different kinds of delicacies for pasalubong. My wife bought some for our kids. After filling up our hungry stomachs and savor the good taste of “Tagaytay bulalo”, the group planned of looking for a nice place for sightseeing and picture taking. Henry spearheaded us again towards the junction road of Tagaytay where we found a little verandah where we took some pictures. We didn’t stayed there for long because we still need to go back home early to take care of our kids and do our pending household chores. Before going back home, we spared a little time at the fruit stand along the highway and both some fruits. I also bought a bottle of grape flavored “lambanog” for my dad.

When we reached the road separating Dasmariñas and Silang, Coolworld bid us goodbye and took the Dasmariñas road while Henry and I chose the Silang road. We really enjoyed that ride together with our wives and we see their happy faces while going back home. I hope this won’t be the last!!.

Arayat Pampangga Ride Report by Pres. Jet Lim

The PBRC's ride to the Province of Nueva Ecija last November 3, 2007 marked another exciting episode of the Club. It's the first time for the Club to hit Central Luzon and got acquainted the PBRC North Luzon Area Chapter members, the host for this ride.

The group started the day by double checking the bike for this long journey. Guys from the southern parts of Metro Manila arrived as early as 6:30 am to the predetermined meeting place at Shell Gas Station in Julia Vargas corner C-5, Pasig City. When I arrived at the place at about 6:40am, I had my Bravo filled up with Gasoline and not so long I see Marjiancanya also had his Bravo filled up. Little did I know that Archer22, Mikecute, Henry and Talipandaz were already waiting at the parking area of the gas station and were calling my attention when I was parking in front of Select. When I get to near them, I saw Talipandaz in short pants and shirt. He said he cannot come with us but was just there to bid the Group for a safe journey. How kind of him. That’s how PBRC support one another. Although the southern members who listed to join the ride were already at the place, we still waited until 7am just to make sure we will not be leaving those who made a last minute decision to join.

The schedule of the itinerary indicated that the group will leave at exactly 7:00am and proceed to Monumento area to link-up with the rest of the Group who will be coming from Northern areas of Metro Manila. Using the route of C-5 – Santolan – EDSA – North Avenue, the group arrived at Monumento at around 7:20am where Coolworld and Bradc73 awaited at a nearby 7-11 store. They met us beside the Baliwag Lechon Manok in McArthur hiway where there was enough parking for all of us without obstructing traffic in the area.

As we were waiting for the last man Jay (newest member), Reklamador came to see us, and also bidding the Group for a safe journey as he can’t joined for his pre-scheduled seminar with the Couples for Christ. See, I told you this is how PBRC support each other. He has one other agenda though. He shown the group of the prototype of the bottom pan (“araro”) custom made for the PBRC. Painted in black, the “araro” fitted nicely on his Bravo but he had to cut and shorten the rear portion of the front fender to give way for it. Since it was still a prototype, there are a few improvements to be made on it. Let’s wait for its final product. Bradc73 also showed us two samples of the Logo sticker and voted which should be ordered.

Not for long, Jay arrived. Wow, he was on a different version of the Bravo amongst the other members…well, particularly on the handle bar. His was a totally pulled out handle bar and replaced with a new handle bar post that’s places the handle bar a bit backwards. It’s good if you opt to mount your handle bars lower since it will not be touching the upper portion of the cowl, so you’ll not be chopping your cowl if you opt to utilize a lowered handle bar. No customizing, just replacing with aftermarket parts.

Soon after a few hellos to newly meet members, the group departed for Nueva Ecija at around 7:45am. Traffic along McArthur Hiway from Valenzuela to Bulacan was moderate to heavy. I spearheaded the group, making sure that our pace was enough to meet our schedule and for everyone to be safe. After the hustle and bustle on every tight traffic at downtowns in Valenzuela and Bulacan and a few road repair detours and U-turns due to direction difficulties, we found ourselves reaching Pampanga safely and on schedule.

The road in the Province of Pampanga was fairly open in terms of traffic condition. This time, not much vehicles were plying and not much obstruction on the side of road. It’s time for the group to gain up speed. And in some long stretches on the open hiway, a few guys went hitting top speed. But little did we noticed the sign to San Simon, where we are supposed to make a right turn towards Arayat and meet up with our hosts, CrazyRazky and Alamus. Good thing that they were waiting for us at Caltex Station by the intersection. So when they saw us passed by and onward to the wrong direction, Alamus puts on his helmet and struggled with his red Bravo to catch up with us. Fortunately, repair was underway on a bridge not so far and caught up with us.

The group united at the Caltex station where could finally meet and shake hands with CrazyRazky and Alamus, the hosts. It was about 10:50am and right on schedule. CrazyRazky showed us his modifications made on his Bravo while Alamus showed me his unreturned chainguard of his Bravo because of his over excitement for the occasion.

After a 45-minute break for rest, rehydration and cigarette, CrazyRazky set free several homing pigeons and we made our way towards Cabiao for lunch. We got into the eatery and eat at our hearts content. Food prices were cheap and the menu was superb. I had beer to go with my Sisig. Archer, however, snobbed every one of us when he was the first to be served with his double-viand meal.

People in the area were staring at us and probably saying unto themselves, “look at these guys…so charming and macho on their Bravo motorcycles.” And we really are! Even Anna, the pretty waitress at the restaurant who Mikecute got fond of, kept staring at each of us thinking how she would be asked by anyone among us to be a backride. There was even a guy from the area who approached us and said he is a Bravo owner too. He would like to join the Club as well. We just told him to get in touch with CrazyRazky.

After that scrumptious meal, we proceeded to CrazyRazky’s place to meet his pregnant wife (their first baby). We were served with cold orange juice and hot “ginataan” filled with banana, sweet potato, cassava and sago. Had it beside the wide Cabiao River and under the cool shade of a tall-standing bamboo plant. There we held our meeting, discussing matters pertaining to the Club. Four members, namely Bradc73, CrazyRazky and Jay paid 150 pesos each to cover the 100 pesos registration fee and 50 pesos monthly dues for the month of November. Alamus paid 200 pesos to cover the monthly dues up to December. Archer, Coolworld, Jian, Mikecute, Henry and me paid 50 pesos each for the November monthly dues. So we raised a total of 950 pesos. We also discussed that CrazyRazky be the Liaison Officer of the Northern Luzon Area PBRC to organized and recruit Bravo owners in the area to join the PBRC. Not necessarily that those Bravo owners be required to join the MCP forums and Yahoo! Groups.

From there, it’s swimming time. We made our way to the Arayat National Park where we can get swimming in several pools supplied by nature’s spring water from Mount Arayat. Sad for the group, Bradc73 had to leave early after he received a message from home requiring his presence at home because his child is sick. He said goodbye to rest of the group and left alone. But everyone had fun at the park. Alamus however had not brought along his swimming attire and just stayed by the cottage. Everybody made a deep into the cold water of the pool and a small natural waterfall after downing a bottle of beer. But I had two. The “ginataan” was at anyone’s taking and newly cooked banana-que offered by a local food vendor was not spared by the hungry Mike and Vin.

And no attractive lady could get passed from the vigilant eyes of Jian and Mike. Their stare could melt the ladies like butter. So as soon as they spotted a couple on their way to the other pool, our Romeos could not make their feet to stay put. Even Archer and Henry find a way to deep to the other pool, only to find themselves beside two “papampam” in swimsuit! Grrrr….At that moment, I felt sorry for Coolworld. He was at tight perimeter defense. And no Houdini can escape the ever vigilant eyes of his wife. He however managed to throw a few smiles.

By 3:30pm, we departed the resort and bound for home. But not after taking group pictures at the parking area. At the first intersection, we bid farewell to our hosts and thanked them for the warm welcome. They sure were very hospitable. That’s PBRC!

Our way back home was different. Some may have been tired by the day’s activities and traffic was a bit tight. I let Mike have the spearhead task. No problems along the way until we were at Bulacan where Jian barely escaped injuries and damages to his Bravo when a Pajero, coming from the right side of the road, suddenly turned to cross the hiway and blocking the path of Jian who was coming in fast. Full brakes by Jian couldn’t stop the motorcycle instantly and couldn’t prevent him to crash into the SUV. However, quick thinking and helpful braking of the Bravo did not cause full contact between the two vehicles nor damage Jian’s Bravo. The only contact made was when Jian used his elbow against the Pajero’s door to brace himself. This was evident by the dent on the door. Jian only felt a slight numb on his elbow. Driver of the Pajero was responsible enough to offer assistance if ever Jian sustain any unseen injury from the accident.

Aside from that, we made our way back to Monumento at around 6:30pm after buying “pasalubong” at the border of Meycauayan and Valenzuela. Jay separated from the rest of the group in Valenzuela. Coolworld and Jian went together towards Roxas Boulevard while Archer, Mikecute, Henry and me opted to drop by Shell Julia Vargas. There, wet met “CJ_Manalo” with his charming girlfriend and “Rom_Racing” who happens to be in the business of Riding Apparels. Rom offered us discount price of 2,500 pesos for a minimum group order of 10 pieces on the fully padded riding jacket in any design we want.

Soon after, we parted our ways.

Thank you guys for the exciting ride to Nueva Ecija. Thank you also to CrazyRazky and Alamus for the warm welcome. We certainly enjoyed our stayed in Nueva Ecija. And thank you to those who paid the registration fee and monthly dues for the month of November. Be ready for your pictures for your ID card.

Again thank you to all who participated and Mabuhay ang PBRC.

Tips in Cleaning Your Chain according to Sir Jet.

Mas malinis kapag tinatangal yung chain. Ang problema lang ay matrabaho. Ang daming kakalasin at maraming gagawin. E kung weekly ka mag lilinis, tatamarin ka. Pero siguradong malinis ang chain mo. Ito ang gagawin:

I-center stand and motor. Luwagan ang bolt at nut ng gulong sa likod. Luwagan ang nut ng adjustment ng chain at itulak papasok ng motor ang gulong sa likod para lumuwag ang chain. Tangalin ang lock ng chain gamit ang long nose plier. Tangalin ang sprocket cover ng makina (plastic cover lang yan). Hilain palabas ang chain. Gamitin ang paint brush at toothbrush, linisin ang mga sprocket at ang paligid nito gamit ang plastic sprayer na may kerosene. Ganun din ang loob ng sprocket cover. Hugasan ang mga nilinisan ng tubig at sabon (detergent soap). Ilagay ang chain sa isang aluminum na palangana. Buhusan ng kerosene (dalawang baso ang dami) at linisin ng toothbrush ang kasingit-singitan ng chain. Kapag na linis na, palitan ng malinis na kerosene ang palangana. Linisin ulit ang chain (wag kalimutan pati ang chain lock). Dapat makita mo na ang kintab ng chain. Itabi ang kerosene sa isang lata. Lagyan ng langis (chain oil/chain lube) ang chain. Medyo bigyan ng oras (10 minutes) na pumasok ang langis sa kasulok-sulukan ng chain. Lagyan ng grasa ang mga rollers ng chain gamit ang toothbrush sa magkabilaang bahagi. Siguraduhing lahat ay nadaanan ng grasa. Wag mo masyadong lagyan ng langis at grasa, tama lang na madampian dahil kakalat lang kapag tumakbo ang motor. Punasan ang chain ng trapo upang matangal ang mga sobrang langis at grasa. kailangan makintab ang itsura ng chain at hindi parang kinapitan ng maraming grasa. Ibalik ang chain sa mga sprocket. Kapag mahirapan kang ibalik, gumamit ng alambre na merong 2 feet ang haba at itali sa isang dulo ng chain. Unahin isuksok ang alambre hangang mapwesto ang chain sa mga sprocket. Tangalin ang alambre at ikabit ang lock ng chain. Hilain pabalik ang gulong hangang humigpit ang chain. Siguraduhing pantay ang alignment ng gulong at tama ang lundo ng chain bago higpitan ang bolt at nut ng gulong. Ang tamang adjustment ng alignment ng gulong ay makikita sa may swing arm. Dapat pantay ang pwesto sa guhit magkabilaan (refer to owner’s manual kung paano). Ang instruction sa lundo ng chain ay makikita mo sa sticker na nakadikit sa chain guard. Kapag nakabit na, paikutin ang gulong sa likod para malaman na tama ang pagkakabit. Kailangan tuloy-tuloy lang ang ikot ng gulong at walang sumasayad. Kapag OK na, ikabit ang sprocket cover at higpitan lahat ng turnilyo. I-check na rin ang preno sa likod. Paandarin ang motor at patakbuhin ng dahan-dahan at pakiramdaman. Kapag walang nakitang mali, OK na yan. Medyo linisan mo lang lagi ang rim mo kapag tinakbo na ng malayo kasi marami pang tatalsik na grasa at langis nyan. Mawawala rin yan katagaltagalan.


Mas madali kung hindi na tatangalin ang chain. Simpleng linis lang pero hindi talagang milinis ng husto ang chain. Maganda kung at least every 3 months ay yung tinatangal ang chain ang paglilinis. Ito ang gawin mo paglinis na di tinatangal ang chain:(ito ginagawa ko every week)

I-center stand ang motor. Gamitin ang paint brush at toothbrush, linisin ang chain, sprocket at ang paligid nito gamit ang plastic sprayer na may kerosene. Tuloy-tuloy lang ang pag spray hangang ma-drain ng husto ang mga maruming grasa. Kapag malinis na ang tumutulong kerosene sa pag-spray sa kasingit-singitan ng chain, hugasan ito ng tubig at sabon (detergent soap). Punasan at patuyuin ng husto. Mag lagay ng langis sa isang takip ng lata at lagyan ng langis (chain oil/chain lube) ang chain. Medyo bigyan ng oras (10 minutes) na pumasok ang langis sa kasulok-sulukan ng chain. Lagyan ng grasa ang mga rollers ng chain gamit ang toothbrush sa magkabilaang bahagi. Siguraduhing lahat ay nadaanan ng grasa. Wag mo masyadong lagyan ng langis at grasa, tama lang na madampian dahil kakalat lang kapag tumakbo ang motor. Punasan ang chain ng trapo upang matangal ang mga sobrang langis at grasa. kailangan makintab ang itsura ng chain at hindi parang kinapitan ng maraming grasa. Paikutin ang gulong sa likod at kailangan tuloy-tuloy lang ang ikot ng gulong. I-check na rin ang preno sa likod. Paandarin ang motor at patakbuhin ng dahan-dahan at pakiramdaman. Kapag walang nakitang mali, OK na yan. Medyo linisan mo lang lagi ang rim mo kapag tinakbo na ng malayo kasi marami pang tatalsik na grasa at langis nyan. Mawawala rin yan katagaltagalan.

Advantages / Disadvantages of Bravo According to our Pres.

Performance:

Outstanding ang performance ng Bravo. Nabili ko Bravo ko last December. Average distnce travel ko ay 2,000 kilometers per month. All stock ang Bravo ko pero meron lang akong dinagdag para sa aethetics tulad ng "araro", crossbar sa manubela, palit passenger grab handle na pang wave 100, repainting ng muffler/pipe bracket, rear coil spring, front forks at front fender, and palit ng honda emblem sticker. Medyo malaki rin gastos ko kasi brand new original Honda ang grab handle, anzahl ang pinturang ginamit at customized ang sticker na pinagawa ko.

Regular ang maintenance ng Bravo ko. Honda motor oil, Havoline motor oil at Castrol motor oil ang ginagamit ko. Sa ngayon, stick to Havoline ako. Pero baka mag shift ako sa elf. Sa regular maintenance na ginawa ko, halos motor oil lang ang pinalitan not until pag dating sa 16,000 kilometer reading na. Nag palit nako ng drive chain (EK brand na heavy duty) at denso iridium spark plug. Medyo mahal lang pero satisfied ako at ayoko ko rin tinitipid ang Bravo ko.

Mula ng pagkabili ko, ang naging problema ng Bravo ko ay busted dim headlight at busted rear park light. Although, gumagana pa ang filament ng bright light at ang brake light, pinalitan ko na pareho. At 4 times ako na flat tyre. Napalitan ko na rin rear tyre ko after 16,000 kms dahil pudpod na. Original Bravo tyre pa rin ang pinalit ko, galing sa Bravo na nagpalit ng dunlop tyres.

Hindi pa ako tinirik ng Bravo ko. Hindi pa rin ako pinalya. Fastest speed na naitakbo ko ay 110kph downhill from Tagaytay. Nagagawa ko na rin ang full throttle for about 1 hour sa Bravo at wala syang problema. Walang overheat at walang palya until now.

Medyo alerto lang ako sa hataw kasi parehong drum brake ang preno ng Bravo. OK naman ang rear drum brake kasi malakas din naman kumapit sa kalsada. Narasan ko na rin magmuntikan ng ilang beses. Dalawa lang naman ang pwedeng mangyari sa biglang preno ng Bravo, ang mag fishtail at ang skidding on one side sa biglaang preno. OK naman, stable ang motor, wag lang kabahan ang rider baka mawalan ng control.

Sa Bravo ko, nakakaya kong iwanan ang xrm 110, wave 100, raider j 110. Ilang beses ko silang nakakasabay at kahabulan sa kalsada. Isang beses palang ako naunahan sa dami ko nang encounter, yun ay dahil short distance lang ang tinakbo namin at lumiko na ako. Pero, di ko sinasabi na malakas ang makina ng Bravo, 100cc lang sya. Bravo can only do so much. Ang sekreto dyan ay ang gamay o pagkakabisado ng rider sa motor, skill ng rider sa pagmomotor, experience ng rider at ang lakas ng loob.

Ang hindi OK sa Bravo:

Generally OK ang Bravo. Kakaibang body design nya. Wala kang makitang imitation sa design ng body nya. Pero "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", so kanya-kanyang gusto yan. Ang pinaka malapit nyang kamukha sa Philippine market ay ang raider j.

Meron lang mga ilang parts na sa akin ay hindi masyadong nakaka-appeal sa ibang rider o would-be buyers. Isa-isahin natin.

handle bar - yup, marami talagang turn-off sa manubela ng Bravo. Pero actually, pareho ang handle bar ng Wave at Bravo, except ang sa Bravo ay hubad at tinakpan lang ng plastic cover kumpara sa Wave ay naka cover ang buong cowl ng headlight, signal lights, at gauges. At tulad ng Wave, hindi madali mag modify ng handle bar ang Bravo kasi hindi available ang parts for modification sa market. To modify, kailangan customize mo mismo. Marami na rin ang nagmodify nito sa mga members ng Philippine Bravo Riders Club (PBRC). Pioneer dyan si archer22. Meron din sa Mindanao area PBRC member. It takes ingenuity to modify Bravo's handle bar.

kick start - Walang kick starter ang Bravo kaya time and time again, this has be a topic of debate for pinoy riders. Personally, mas gusto ko ng walang kick starter ang Bravo. I have three other motorcycles aside from Bravo: Honda CB750, Honda XR200 and Honda Dio. The only one with a kick start is the Honda Dio. Sa totoo lang, di ko nagagamit kasi meron din electric starter naman. Maraming paraan para mag start ang motor kapag drain ang battery. Push start ang pinaka madali. Syempre, ang Hondo Dio hindi pwede sa push start dahil automatic transmission, kaya siguro nilagyan ng kickstart. And besides, masisira lang ang sapatos sa kickstart. Sayang din ang Nike. Isipin mo economic-wise. Kapag meron kick start, mas mahal mo bibilhin ang motor, di ba? Kung wala naman kickstart at pag dumating ang panahon na mahina na ang battery mo na di kaya ang electric start (siguro after three years), dun mo ngayon maisip na dapat meron kickstart di ba? OK, pero ayaw mong ma abala lagi kaka kick-start para gumana lahat ng electrical components mo kaya bibili ka agad ng battery. So malamang, tatlo o apat na beses mo lang gagamitin ang kickstart, balik ka na naman sa electric starter, di ba? 3 years ulit bago masira ang battery, tapos tatlo o apat na beses mo lang gamitin ang kick-start. E kung ganun, mas maganda pang walang kick-start (lesser engine weight at walang naka usling lever na maaring maka sagabal sa pagmamaneho, na kasama pang linisan at langisan para di kalawangin) dahil pwede naman i-push start ang motor. Sinubukan ko na mag push start, walang kahirap-hirap, maniwala ka.

passenger footpeg - This is the one I hated the most with the Bravo. Ang foot rest sa likod ng Bravo ay naka weld sa swing arm. Functional naman, di ba? Meron mga ibang modelong motor na ganito rin, naka weld sa sweing arm. Ang ayoko dito (sinubukan ko rin umangkas sa Bravo ko) ay kapag nag si-swing ang swing arm, sumasama ang tapakan, meaning akyat-panaog din ang paa ng angkas. Sa humps, mararamdaman mo ang pag galaw ng paa mo kapag pasahero ka. Medyo ok lang yun kasi dahan dahan naman tayo sa humps. Ang problema, kapag long ride na at sa mga lubak lubak. ramdam na ramdam mo ang bugbog mula sa paa hangang hita kapag pasahero ka. E di ba, usually ang inaangkas natin ay ang misis natin. Imagine mo na lang ang discomfort nila sa ganitong apakan. Unlike sa ibang motor, meron sariling footpeg bracket na naka-attached mismo sa batalya kaya di gumagalaw ang apakan.

no gear indicator - Kung baguhan ka mag motor, malaking bagay sayo na makita mo kung saan gear ka na. pero hindi advisable na lagi kang tumingin sa panel mo, delikado po. "Eyes on the road, please". Kapag nasanay ka na magmotor, mapapansin mo na di pala kailangan ang gear indicator. Actually, bihira ang model ng motor na meron gear indicator. Sabi nga ng matatandang rider sakin, tatlong beses ka lang titingin sa panel ng motor: bago ka mag start, pagkahinto sa traffic para malaman mo kung nasa neutral ka at paghinto mo. Un-necessary na yung tingin ka ng tingin.

drum brakes - gaya ng sinabi ko, drum brakes ang harap at likod ng Bravo. Di talaga masyadong kumakapit ang preno sa harap. Pipigain mo nung husto. Di tulad ng naka disc brake (at least sa harap na gulong), konting piga lang kapit agad. Mas meron control sa motor, safer at mas maganda ang handling

steady headlight - this ain't a problem. most sports (big) bikes have this kind of design. Walang problema at walang mali sa ganitong design.

Basically, ang mga ito lang naman ang major differences sa features ng Honda Bravo.

Accessories:

Kung gusto mong malaman kung anu-anong parts na palitan, idadagdag, bibilhin at estimate/idea kung magkano ang gagastusin para pumogi ang Bravo, please visit technical thread of the Philippine Bravo Riders Club under Manufacuter>Honda>Honda Bravo Techinical Thread. Umabot ng 10 parts/chapters ang thread na yan. Maitatanong mo lahat ng gusto mong itanong sa Honda Bravo. Meron din maraming pictures dun ng mga modified na Bravo from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao areas.

Tondly Bravo R100

14" RIM Modification

as posted by Sir Enshongi in MCP:

Guys, if any of you are planning to change to 14" street tires, try using this setup:

front and rear rims: alloy black size 2.15
front: Mizzle 80x80x14
rear: Mizzle 90x80x14

Ang ganda tingnan! Although same lang tire spec size ng Mizzle compared with Deestone tires, yung rubber niya is wider than the Deestone. Almost the same tingnan sa 100x90 Dunlop.

I cant change tires kasi la pang isang buwan tires ko sayang naman. Ill just wear it out muna.

Enshongi Bravo of CDO

Sir Dennis of Cagayan de Oro, modified his grey Bravo with 14" rim and oversize tires.

Congratulation sir for a job well done on your Bravo.

PBRC Honda Philippines Plant Visit Ride

First of all, I want to thank all those who have joined the PBRC ride yesterday to Honda Plant in Tanauan, Batangas. I'm very glad for those who have joined the ride for giving time. Thank you every one. RIDE SAFE everyday.

Now for some accounts on what happened yesterday.

My day yesterday started early by waking up as early as 5:30 am, even if our call time for those coming from Las Pinas and Muntinlupa is still 7:30am. I checked my Bravo for the last time in preparation for the ride. At 6am, my wife asked me if I can still accompany her to the market to buy some stocks for our sari-sari store, I agree immediately ( hehehehe, baka magbago ang isip at di ako pasamahin ). We returned by 6:45 am at home. Then...I returned to check my things again and at exactly 7am I leaved our house. The meeeting place for my group is at Alabang-Zapote flyover which is very near my house (it's just 5-10 minutes walk), so I went straight to a gasoline station and filled my tank then went around zapote to look for any store where I can load my cellphone, I almost consumed 15 minutes just looking for a store that is opened and have my cellphone loaded. I know that in a matter of minutes my cellphone will be flooded with texted messages coming from other members who will be joining the ride and as expected, after I loaded my cellphone, text messages comes in.

So...after answering some text I went straight to our waiting area (below the Alabang-Zapote flyover). I parked my Bravo where it can be easily seen by those members coming from Muntinlupa and at exactly 7:30am Jian, Ryan and Joel arrived in our meeting place. At that moment, I'm already texting Joyce who coordinates with me for those members coming from the North and I also text Major asking him how many are they in McDo, Kabihasnan.

By almost 8:30am, the merge party of North boys and South boys arrived in Alabang-Zapote flyover. After a short introduction of the members from Muntinlupa. We decided to start the ride to Batangas. At that moment, Sir Jules of Honda Philippines called me and asked how many riders are going to the plant, their plate number and if there are any back riders, we have 3 backriders (Jian backride, Nayf wife and the gf of Michael - whom I invited to join the ride but rides on a Wave 125), he also informed us that FPIP (First Philippine Industrial Plant) doesn't allow anybody wearing sandals to enter the compound; so we had a problem with our backrides since all of them are wearing sandals. Setting aside the problems of our backride we started with the ride and opted to stop in a gasoline shell along Aguinaldo Highway to have all riders fill up their tank so we won't be stop anymore going to Batangas (as what we thought).

The ride from Alabang-Zapote flyover to the gasoline station is smooth but with few traffic. After reaching Caltex, some riders have their Bravo filled up while other members went to the restroom. After a few minutes of rest we started the ride again. Traversing Aguinaldo highway, we passed Imus, Cavite with no problem but in between Imus and Dasmarinas, Cavite we encounter a minor problem; no problem with our Bravo but a traffic enforcer got irked when the group didn't stop when we were stop because of that the last 4 riders (Jian, Ryan, Michael and Me) were the one who was stop, Jian, was able to pass through, avoiding the elbow of the enforcer but Ryan was not lucky because he was hit by the elbow of the enforcer and was shaken by the blow. Fortunately, he didn't crashed and was able to gain control of his Bravo. We stop a few meters from the enforcer and confront him but he was angry that we didn't stop when he asked us to stop. That time, Major and the other riders came back to check on us after realizing that we were not on the convoy. We then told Major on what happened and he returned to the enforcer and confront him. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to see the confrontation since I'm waiting for some of the members to go back. What I saw is that, the enforcer stop a pick up with red plate and inform him what happened. We, thought that it's already finished since Major led us again and continue our ride. After travelling for 15-30 minutes, we thought what happened was already finished but when we reached Salitrans, Dasmarinas, Cavite, the whole group where stop by a bunch of traffic enforcer, I thought that all motorcycle will be stopped but only our group was stopped. There, we found out that the traffice enforcer who we confronted radioed the traffice enforcers who blocked us. Major, was irked by the action and told the enforcers what happened. We were told to wait for their superior and the traffic enforcer. We waited for almost 10-15mins and when they arrived both Major and the traffic enforcer is in a not so good mood. Other traffic enforcer pacify the two but some PBRC members who was also irked by what happened started giving comments which just added flame.

Not satisfied with what's going on and knowing that we have already lost some precious minutes, I intervene and talked with the enforcer in a calm voice. After several minutes talking with him, telling him of the mistake of the group but also telling him of his mistake, he simply requested that he wanted to talk with Major so I talked with Major and asked him to have cool heads when they talked. At last, both parties end up by shaking the hands of each other. We left, Salitrans with no hard feeling and hopefully the traffic enforcer felt the same.

We continue our ride to Tanauan immediately, but it seems that we are travelling slow since our speed is only 60Kph, so I catch up with Major and informed him if we have the chance, we need to speed up our pace so we can reached FPIP on time, it's already 10:30am. After passing SM and Robinson Dasma, we speed up our pace and at this time we are now travelling 70-80Kph. In no time, we reached Tagaytay, Rotonda, we didn't stop anymore but proceed immediately to Talisay.

Reaching the rode to Talisay, almost all the members were amazed with the road (except I guess fo Major since I don't think it's his first time to pass that route). The road is a downhill twisties (sarap!!!!), even the view is amazing. For those other members who haven't gone through that rode, be sure that your break is in good condition. Steven, Nayf and Me was able to save some gasoline (hehehehe) because we turn of our engine and let the road drag us (kuripot ba? Hahahahaha). The downhill road can make your MC reached upto 80Kph but please, please, please be carefull, it's a twisty road and if your not careful you'll end up down. The road downhill almost consume more than 30 minutes I guess but you won't be frustrated cause you'll be amazed with the scenery.

Reaching the bottom of the road, we still travel an additional 1 hour to FPIP. We reached FPIP at around 12am. We immediately sign in to the guard and waited for Jun who comes from Calamba. After 5 minutes, he was able to join us. We are disappointed that we didn't met some of the members from Batangas and Laguna for some reason. I immediately texted Sir Jules and was informed that they are already waiting for us. We immediately saddle up and proceed to the plant. There, we already saw that Sir Jules and the Honda Phil. President/General Manager Mr. Izekoe is already waiting for us. We were asked to ride around while they took picture of us. We again asked to go around the second time and this time parked in front of their reception area where we got the chance to have our picture taken with their president.

After the picture taken, we were instructed to park our Bravo in the visitor parking area. There we proceed immediately to their reception area where we were met by Honda Philippines National Sales Manager, he gave us a brief view of the whole Honda Philippines plant which occupies 23 hectares (wow!!! ang laki). In the reception area we also saw the modified Honda Bravo in the "metal" (di in the flesh kasi puro bakal at plastic. hehehehe). Then we were instructed to proceed to their Welcome hall were snacks is prepared and there we were asked to introduced ourselves. We then proceed to the question and answer portion regarding Bravo, they asked us to eat the snacks while the forum is on going. I'm glad that members didn't shy away from asking question and we were satisfied with their answers. Honda Philippines president had to leave the group for another engagement in the afternoon so before he leaves we had another picture taking (dami naming picture....). The visit proceed with a film showing of Honda Philippines history and an info about engine oil (we'll discuss the engine oil in the forum or in Yahoo group).

Before the end of the visit, all members were given a Honda paper bag that contains a jacket, t-shirt, cap and a ballpen, we were all happy because the jacket cost already 650 and the t-shirt is 250, so we receive a 1000 worth of give away from honda. We then are invited to visit their shop and asked if we want to buy any other Honda apparel at discounted price. True enough, its discounted; Michael was able to buy a utility bag for only 310, knowing the SRP of the bag is 560.

At almost 3pm, we bid goodbye to Honda officials carrying with us a good and memorable experience in their plant.

To all Honda Philippines executives, thank you very much for a warm welcome and a nice experience that you have given to our group. We hope that yesterday is the start of a good relationship of our club and your company.

Honda Number 1!!!!!!
