In a year of wildly good Ride XP, this was the biggest surprise. I had never heard of Nan in northeast Thailand when I got invited to this trip, and I was blown away by the quality of the mountain roads there. Had a wonderful time there on the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, which I was riding for the first time, and made great friends from around the region.

Our first day riding in Nan, northeast Thailand, was everything I hoped it could be and more. The route took us from Nan Airport to the sleepy, pretty river valley town of Sapan. Winding, scenic, perfectly surfaced mountain roads, quaint small towns, and easy access to good food, drinks, and places to stay along the way. An easy ride even with occasional showers, and the Super Meteor 650 was right at home on every mile.

Finally own a nice retro off-road helmet to go with my retro off-road bike. Very light light and comfy even with an intercom, and of course legendary style. A bit impractical on the highway, but all romantic things are a bit of a pain. ;)

ICYMI: You can watch and help our Yamaha PG-1 film by engaging with it in any way! Watch it here: https://fb.watch/ucYYyruWsr/

Tbh taking on a narrative film was a bit daunting, but in the end it became an enjoyable process of going from script to screen thanks to my team. I was insistent on having a clear narrative with setups and payoffs and not creating a glorified commercial, while keeping in mind this is a competition piece for a brand that needs to showcase the spirit of their product.

I definitely want to make more narrative films in the future with what I learned from making this and from watching the amazing entries made by the other filmmakers. Grateful to Yamaha Motor Philippines, Inc. for the opportunity to learn and grow and make some cool stuff with their support!

The Himalayan 411 and 450 weigh the same fully fueled and share a similar soul, but they’re very different bikes.

I’ve been riding the 411 since I learned how to ride. It was never intimidating even back then. I think it’s a bike that’s always allowed the average rider to travel far and go far beyond the pavement even without any technical skill. It’s slow, solid, and dependable.

In contrast, the 450 feels like a proper adventure bike. Taller, faster, more modern and capable in every way like a proper ADV. But with that it’s also become more intimidating and more top heavy, requiring a little more confidence and skill to handle. IMHO it’s a much more rewarding bike to ride and to develop your skills on, with a nimble chassis and excellent suspension, but I don’t think it’s a bike I would have enjoyed as much as an absolute beginner. To me the new Himmy almost feels like a middleweight ADV in refinement but skinnier, lower, and less powerful.

Which would you pick for a big adventure?

An Interceptor 650 owner tries a Triumph Tiger 900!

Lately I've been dreaming of an ADV bike again for the touring comfort and off-road capability, and I had the chance to try a spectacular, premium one in the form of the Tiger 900 Rally Pro. Check out my findings in this video! For the full length version of this, just search for it under Aaron Palabyab on Youtube.

Full vlog of my intermediate riding course experience at MotorClyde Training Center! Highly recommended course for all riders with some experience but who feel that confidence barrier when it comes to low speed maneuvers and bike control, whether fast or slow. It transformed my riding dramatically in a short amount of time. Thanks to Coach Tanie for the great instruction and helpful anecdotes.

Laur-Gabaldon-Dingalan Ride and Motocamp

Riding with friends on my Interceptor 650 to sightsee in Laur and Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija, and moto camping in Dingalan, Aurora.

Enjoyed using the LS2 Helmets Philippines Valiant II today on a hot commute from QC-Pasay! Bakit ko siya gusto? ✅ Modular na pwede gamitin yung shield kahit naka-open ✅ Sobrang ventilated! Presko talaga ✅ may integrated dropdown sun visor ✅ May speaker pockets kaya mas komportable gumamit ng comms at makinig ng music Available at MotoMarket Philippines Motoworld Philippines branches

Quick first impressions of the newly-launched in the PH Royal Enfield Hunter 350! Full review coming soon.

Nice new helmet from LS2 Helmets Philippines! The Valiant II is a modular helmet that allows you to use it open face even with the visor down. Better aesthetics and function than a typical modular. Will test this helmet for commuting and touring. You’ll find this helmet at Motoworld Philippines stores.

Riding with the rainbow on this gorgeous green Royal Enfield Continental GT 650! Review coming soon. I had a blast on the road with this bike and the rainbow was the cherry on top. 🥰 Test ride this very same bike by contacting Royal Enfield Quezon City! Thanks for letting me have the bike for the day.
