The known killer bike in the Philippines
What a rainy Sunday to all of us! It's really good to wake up when you're excited to go to church. It's not about our posture, new outfits and crushes why we go to church. For me, I had to, because it is what God has commanded us, to praise him and glorify him, not just on sunday but everyday of our lives. We should thank God through prayers if we're not able to go. For the life and new strength that we had everyday.
Alright, let's dig in into the main topic for today! Philippines' killer bike, what is it?
Well, just few months ago there are lots and lots of accidents with this type of motorcycle. The Raider 150 fi, have you ever heard about this bike? This is only 150cc but it can run fast, it will go around 140-170kph for the stock set up, just a little bit of upgrade and you can reach 170kph. Some can speed up into 220kph with those loaded category of this motorcycle, it's insane right? The body is not huge like sports bike, so you can really feel the danger of this bike. It's body can't handle too much speed of course, unlike big bikes. Big bikes will just defy strong wind, and will still be comfortable even the road is wet.
Few days ago, there are people who just lost their lives by doing crazy drag race in public highways. It's absolutely illegal to race in public roads. If you want to do it, you can! But only in race tracks. I had a raider150 fi too! But I am still kickin lol, why? Here's the answer.
Is this motorcycle really the killer?
As we all know there are lots and lots of boastful and arrogant riders of this motorcycle. Because of pride! They grew pride, because this motorcycle was known as the fastest 150cc, just don't include high cc's. I can really tell that it's fast, because I had mine too. And now, is this bike the killer? I guess no. We can't blame the motorcycle, it's the rider! Those riders which we call "kamote", they are those people who are unmannered! Hard headed! And arrogant! They thought that they can just easily flow in a public roads like river, but in fact they're not! Public road is dangerous trust me, even how good you are, you can't predict what will gonna happen ahead.
Yesterday night, 3 riders died racing in a public road. All of them are riding a R150 motorcycle. They've been doing this dangerous stuff for many years, but now? They're finally screwed. I feel sad for them because racing is really fun, and they're into it, but it will cost life. What happened to their happy life now? It's gone, they're supposed to be with their family, and cleaning their favorite bike right now. (sighs) so sorry, ride in peace raider brothers.
Application
"Slow is fast", we can still reach to our destination even just 70kph, it's faster than we thought. If we do it too fast, maybe we caught up an accident or wreck up some parts of motorcycle. It's better to return back home safely, than to be known as the fastest rider in your place, but later on, it's just the same thing that will switch off your life. Ride safe and avoid the dangers as much as we can. Stay slow in an unfamiliar terrains and curves. Ride safe and let's spread love-manners.

It's really stupid of them to have done that. If you want to race, why not use an open field, or a certified race track? Why risk your life and those of other road users as well? I want to feel sorry for them, but i can't, considering they've been doing it for years. They got what they had coming
