mao jud. a little faith goes a long way.
A little update to this thread.
Nadala na jud nako akong scooter ug 130+ kilometers from Tacloban to Ormoc. Solo ride lang. Non stop, hunong lang pang pagasolina. All in all, mga three hours jud to nga byahe, I think. I left around 5 a.m. unya abot ko mga past 8 a.m.
Important Stuff
- Rain gear. Nagamit jud kay gaulan ug maayo pagbyahe nako. I recommend something thick, kanang murag trapal ang material.
- Gasoline money. I think kaduha ko nagpa gasolina. My tank is only 3 litres in capacity. Hinuon, Tacloban-Ormoc, daghan ka maagian nga gasoline stations.
- Tires. I changed my tires to tubeless Mizzles just for the ride. Protection against flats and better road grip na pud. Also, if bago pa mo gapa ilis, please have your 'kanyotos' checked. Ang akoang kanyoto problemado diay. May nalang kay wa nagpabadlong while nag travel ko.
- Tune-up. Not much tune up akong gibuhat. Just changed the oil a few days before the ride. Mas maayo pud siguro dili on the day of the ride ka mag change oil/tune up para naa pa kay time ma-notice if problemado ang pag change oil/tune up.
- Helmets. Get a good one. Not only for protection from possible crashes but also to seal your head against heavy rain. Also, mas maayo if ang visor is walay scratches and dili dark. Naglisod ko sa akong helmet kay dark ug visor unya ulan, lisud ug tanaw sa dalan.
- Pacing. Go fast if feel nimo safe. Pero always take a looooonnnnggg look at the road para makapahinay naka daan if naay obstacles/bangag sa unahan
- Music. I know naay uban mo-ingon not safe. Pero, during long rides, gamit ni kay para di ka mo zone-out. Also, makapainit sa dugo ning magkantakanta kag apil sa imong music, pangontra sa pwerte ka tugnaw nga ride sa ulan!
Conclusion: I had an awesome time. It was a big step out of my comfort zone and I feel some pride at having done it. I'd do it again but I think kanang dili ulan lang para pud maka picture-picture ug relax ra pud ang ride. I hope this post helps some riders out there.
Keep safe, keep riding!
