Riding into the Wild

There's a unique sense of freedom that comes with riding a motorcycle through the great outdoors. 

The wind in your hair, the roar of the engine, and the open road ahead all combine to create an exhilarating experience. For many, motorcycling isn't just a means of transportation; it's a way of life that allows them to connect with nature in a profound way. 

In this article, we'll explore the joys of riding a motorcycle while discovering the beauty of the natural world.

The Call of the Open Road


One of the most alluring aspects of motorcycle riding is the call of the open road. Unlike being confined within the four walls of a car, motorcyclists are exposed to the elements, which can be incredibly liberating. 

Whether you're cruising down a scenic highway or navigating a winding mountain pass, the sensation of being part of your surroundings is unparalleled.


Connecting with Nature


Riding a motorcycle is a sensory experience like no other. You feel the temperature changes as you ascend or descend in elevation. The smells of pine forests, saltwater, or blooming wildflowers become more vivid. The sounds of nature, from chirping birds to rushing rivers, surround you in a symphony of the outdoors. 

All of these elements combine to create a deep connection with the natural world.


Exploring Off the Beaten Path


Motorcycles are not just limited to paved roads. They can take you off the beaten path, opening up a world of exploration that few other vehicles can match. 

Gravel roads, dirt trails, and rugged terrain become accessible, allowing you to reach remote and untouched locations. Whether you're camping by a pristine lake, riding through dense forests, or traversing rocky deserts, a motorcycle can be your ticket to the less-traveled parts of the great outdoors.


Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Travel


In an era of increasing environmental consciousness, motorcycles offer a more eco-friendly mode of transportation compared to cars or larger vehicles. They typically have smaller carbon footprints and consume less fuel, making them a sustainable choice for exploring nature. 

Many adventure motorcyclists also prioritize Leave No Trace principles, ensuring that their journeys have minimal impact on the environment.


Safety First


While the thrill of motorcycle riding in the great outdoors is undeniable, safety should always be a top priority. Riding gear, including helmets, gloves, and protective clothing, is essential. 

Additionally, honing your riding skills through proper training and practicing defensive riding techniques is crucial when navigating diverse and sometimes challenging terrains.

Riding a motorcycle through the great outdoors is a uniquely immersive experience that allows you to forge a deeper connection with nature. It's a reminder of the beauty of our world and the importance of preserving it for future generations. 

So, whether you're an experienced rider or considering taking up motorcycling as a way to explore the great outdoors, remember to respect nature, prioritize safety, and embrace the adventure that awaits on two wheels. 

The open road and the beauty of the natural world are waiting to be discovered by those who answer the call of the wild.

Embracing Change: From Boss Mark Motovlog to Angkol Rider

In the ever-evolving world of social media, where digital personas and online identities reign supreme, I recently found myself at a crossroads. After years of running my social media profile under the pseudonym "Boss Mark Motovlog," I made a pivotal decision that felt like a natural evolution of my online presence. I decided to rebrand myself as "Angkol Rider," a name that I believe better reflects my age and my unwavering passion for classic motorcycles. At 47 years old, I couldn't help but reflect on the journey that had brought me to this point. I had always been an avid motorcyclist, and my love for classic bikes had only grown stronger with time. These vintage machines held a special place in my heart, not just as pieces of engineering excellence but as timeless pieces of art. The decision to change my social media profile name wasn't a mere whim. It was a conscious choice driven by a deeper understanding of who I am and what I stand for. "Boss Ma...

SAFETY FIRST!

 I've had my scooter for 3+ years now. The only maintenance I know are the basics like change engine oil every 250 kms, change gear oil every 750 kms, and change coolant by its manual gauge. Yesterday while I was taking it for a spin, I noticed a dragging sound which appears to be from the CVT (gilid). Alarmed, I immediately contacted a friend of mine from the club. We call him boss Jared. Luckily, his shop was open on a Sunday. Sheeesh! I went to his shop called Maui Garage which is located in Cabantian. He immediately jumped in, opened the scoot's CVT and ran some diagnoatics. The CVT needs cleaning definitely. That would reduce the dragging back to its normal state. However he told me that the belt needs to be replaced with a new one. Better to do it soon beforw anything worse could happen. And as the chief mechanic, I will follow his advice. You can watch my YouTube video  on this experience. Safety first. Having a motorcycle or any form of vehicle comes with a cost partic...
