1,850+ registered riders gear up for safety
According to the organizers, The Grand Test Ride was a massive hit, with over 1,850 riders registered and got free safety assessments from experts at MMDA Riding Academy, Ride Academi, and MotorClyde Training Center, as well as from some of the different motorcycle manufacturer’s safety riding departments.
Over 1,200 motorcycle enthusiasts
cruised in, some on a shopping spree for all the cool safety gear, clothes, and tricked-out parts on display. Others chilled in the awesome “Tambike” area, grabbing tasty food from Cheng's Grill and refreshing drinks from Kraft Coffee and Ju.ice, soaking up the good vibes with fellow motorcycle lovers. It was like a giant motorcycle block party!
The first day of the Grand Test Ride was all about getting your skills dialed in. The registration was a breeze and gave a quick heads-up on what the day would hold, from skills checks to putting your riding to the test.
Riders got to experience both street cruising and off-road adventures, but the real jaw-dropper was the precision riding demo. Riding school rockstars took center stage and blew everyone away with their insane balance, technique, and smooth moves. Seeing these pros in action wasn't just cool, it reminded everyone that staying in control is key for any rider. Safe riding starts with totally owning your machine!
