Super Bikes

Posted on April 21, 2008 by greenbucks| 12 Comments

We went to the Batangas Racing Circuit to watch some real, live action motor sport race. There wasn’t any car races yesterday, just motorcycle races. We saw the under bones first (called scooters here) with smaller displacements. 150-200 cc if I am not mistaken.

Then the Super Bikes came. These are no ordinary motorbikes, having 1000cc (or a little less than that, I am not sure) displacements. These motor bikes sound different, in fact to me, these sound great!

Below is a photo of the guys riding on super bikes, pardon the blur, had to resize the photos but these look great when seen through the original size:

Litratong Pinoy: Ako ay Bilog

Marahil ay hindi na ito nakikita madalas ng mga Pilipino. Oo, ito ay isang gulong ng karitong gamit ng mga magsasaka na kadalasan ay ginagamit sa pagpunta sa bukid, hila ng isang kalabaw. Tila palamuti na lamang ang mga ito sa ilang kadahilanan:

(1) paggamit ng makabagong makinarya sa pagsasaka,

(2) kawalan ng lupang pagsasakahan o kaya naman

(3) kawalan ng lupang pagsasakahan dahil ito ay naging panirahan na (subdibisyon) o kaya naman ay naging gasolinahan o pamilihan.

Magtataka pa ba tayo kung bakit wala na tayong bigas?

Filipinos rarely see these things anymore. Yes, this is a cart wheel, part of the cart pulled by carabaos used by farmers when they go to the fields. But this wheel seems to be just for aesthetic purposes these days for several reasons:

the use of modern machineries in the farm,
lack of farmlands to till or even
farmlands converted to housing development, gasoline stations, malls or other concrete structure.

Now, do we still have to wonder why we lack rice which is the primary food staple in this country?
