Ep. 308: TUNAY BA?

Gray market is everywhere in the moto scene, and most riders don't fully get what they're giving up. Gray market and parallel imports are genuine products sold outside authorized channels, so no local warranty and no real after-sales support. We're sitting down with Loboo, Ride United, and PIAA to break down why that matters, who it hurts, and how to buy smart. What we'll get into: What gray market and parallel importing actually are Why buying from authorized dealers and official channels protects you: warranty, support, real after-sales The impact of gray market on the brands, the market, and the economy The mixed-channel issue: dealers who get legit stock from distributors then blend in gray market product Where counterfeit fits in, the extreme end where fakes turn into a safety risk How to spot legit and buy smart One table, real talk. Tunay ba ang gamit mo?

Legal Ba Mag Waze? | JLM x TNR

Aminin mo na: naka-Google Maps ka, may pumasok na message, tiningnan mo habang tumatakbo. Pero legal ba? In the premiere of the JLM x TNR series, Ibba and King sit down with Atty. Fred Belandres, a daily Vespa rider and former transportation department lawyer who once ran license-cancellation hearings at the LTO. Justitia Lex Machina is the group of lawyer-riders best known for taking the doble plaka law to court, and now they're bringing real legal answers to the riding community, one episode a month. The question this round is simple but loaded: does using Waze, GPS, or your phone while riding fall under the Anti-Distracted Driving Act? We break down what the law actually says, the three-second glance that turns into a crash, the voice-activated and hands-free exceptions, HUD helmets and Cardo AI, and the penalties that climb from ₱5,000 to a cancelled license. It's rider rights, minus our usual horrible advice. Pakinggan mo, then tell us: what's your definition of a Tunay na Rider?

Ep. 307: From Zero to Rider x MotorClyde

🎧 New episode: From Zero to Rider, The TNR Crew and Spouses Learn with MotorClyde. Most Filipino riders learn by winging it on the road. This episode flips that. MotorClyde sponsored a learn-to-ride session for our production team and our spouses, and four first-time riders, Philip Co, Ivan, Grace, and Angel, went through the program from scratch. We get into: * Why they finally decided to learn, and what held them back for years * “Skills before speed”: the case for formal training before bad habits set in * What really happens inside the program: the drills, the humbling, the click moment * The spouse angle: learning to ride with your partner watching * Honest advice for anyone who has been saying “someday” King Sengco sits in as MotorClyde assistant coach, with Ibba Bernardo and Buck Pago back on the mic. However you ride, this one is about starting right. 🔗 Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. #TunayNaRider #MotorClyde #FromZeroToRider #SkillsBeforeSpeed #LearnToRide #MotorcycleTraining

Ep. 306: Love Laban, Ride with Pride

Pride Ride Manila makes history this year, and MotoBeks (Paulo Leonido) is back with Ibba to talk about it. For the first time ever, riders join the official Pride March at UP Diliman under PridePH's Love Laban. This one goes deeper than the parade. The two get into what the ride actually means: visibility on the road, inclusivity in the community, the allies who show up curious and stay out of respect, and the "pink money" reality the smartest brands already understand. They trace Pride Ride Manila from its quiet 2022 start with Vespa Lady Riders and Litas Manila to this full, recognized march. The back half shifts gears as MotoBeks reviews his new daily, the CFMoto 150 Aura scooter, four months in after years on a Vespa. Heated grips, dual ABS, traction control, built-in dash cam, keyless NFC start, and why he calls it a whole new experience rather than a comparison. Two riders, separate directions, one road. What's your definition of a Tunay Na Rider?

Ep. 305: BMW. Driven by Riders

The people who run BMW Motorrad across the Philippines don't just sell the machines. They ride them harder than most of us. Tonight we go behind the roundel with the riders running the showrooms: John Dahlen (GM for RSA Motors Cars and bikes), Chester Alvisse (Motor Ace BMW), Ronald Manabat (Premier BMW Motorrad Pampanga), plus a fourth name we're announcing live.
