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 particularly on maintenance. True as they say better be safe than sorry. While it pays to do basic maintenance, our machine needs to see a mechanic once in a while. It may cost a bit but it's fornour safety so it's a win-win I should say. 

Thanks for dropping by. Ride safe y'all!

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...

Welcome To My Blog!

Today is a beautiful Saturday! This serves as my first official post. I am not really into writing stuff but I think I will get the hang of it. Blogging would be another platform to showcase my experiences and thoughts in travelling, moto features, food, people, places among other stuff. Today I would like to talk about immersing myself in the digital arena. I'm 47 years old and I must admit I came in late to get acquainted with social media. Time has changed indeed and I am excited about what the future has in store for me. I started motovlogging a couple of years back. Although my YouTube channel was established back in 2016 I really don't know how to go about it. It was during the pandemic that I got hooked into vlogging. And I find it fun and challenging creatively. I decided to put up this blogging site mainly because Google AdSense required me to have one. But apart from that, this would be the perfect avenue for me to express my thoughts. So from this day forward, I will...
