Cebu Scoopy Club Balik Eskwela 3

"I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious." (Albert Einstein)

Albert Eisntein wasn't special according to him. He was just passionately curious. Each child is naturally curious to learn and to give more motivation to a child to learn more, the child should be supported and equipped with things needed for him/her to learn.

Cebu Scoopy Club Balik Eskwela 2

"Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all." - Aristotle

Not too long ago, Cebu Scoopy Club held its first ever Balik Eskwela Outreach Program. It was their 3rd outreach event since its nascency 3 years ago. The club wanted to be more active in its outreach program so they held another outreach program before the year ended. The program still aimed to help grade one pupils a good head start at school by providing them school supplies.

Biketoberfest 2015 - Honda Scooters Cebu Rides Again

Biketoberfest is Cebu's biggest motorcycle event. It is an annual event that promotes what genuine and passionate motorcycling is to the public. It is a three-day event and now on it's 7th year. This was held at the same venue as the previous years at the Cebu IT Park grounds. I heard that this will be the last year that it would be held there because Ayala (the owner of IT Park) has other plans for the ground.

Biketoberfest is organized by Star Touring and Riding Association - Chapter 2301 and their partner for this year is again the Feed the Children Program, serving free meals and giving school supplies to underprivileged children from different barangays. The event featured talks, fun competitions, raffle of prizes, product presentations, live bands, Biker Babe Pageant and many more. Speaking of raffle, they gave away 4 motorcycles this year unlike in the previous years where 3 motorcycles were given. One of the raffle prizes was a brand new Gen-S Honda Beat FI from Vismotor Corporation.

Just like last year, Honda Scooters Cebu had a Biketoberfest Unity Ride using the same route that we travelled last year, from Cebu City to Balamban and Toledo, then rode to Naga City and back to Cebu City.

Honda Scooters Cebu was originally composed of 3 clubs composed of the 3 different scooters of Honda, Cebu Beat Riders (Honda Beat), Zoomer X Club Cebu (Zoomer X) and the Cebu Scoopy Club (Scoopy) but this year, Honda released it's latest and most advanced scooter in its line-up, the Honda Click-i and a new club was born, Cebu Click-i Club. Now, Honda Scooters Cebu is composed of the 4 different scooter line-ups of Honda.

As always, we started the to meet at our infamous meetup location in Lahug, Cebu City, Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) Office. We gathered from 6AM to 8AM. Our ride off was 8AM.

Cebu Scoopy Club - Balik Eskwela

Cebu Scoopy Club Balik Eskwela 2015
"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." (Aristotle)

Cebu Scoopy Club's Balik Eskwela 2015 - an outreach program that aims to provide school supplies to students and our beneficiaries for this program are the first grade pupils of Langub Elementary School in Argao, Cebu.
Posted by Marjun Tacder on Thursday, July 23, 2015

I can't imagine living in a world without education. We all agree that in order to succeed in life, education is one of the most important key. Some would say, "Well, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs or even Mark Zuckerberg didn't finish school". But we can't deny the fact that they all went to school before they succeeded.

Cebu Scoopy Club has been organized 3 years ago. To play with the number, the club organized its 3rd outreach program, Balik Eskwela 2015. This outreach program aims to provide school supplies to students and our beneficiaries for this program are the first grade pupils of Langub Elementary School in Argao, Cebu.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. (Aristotle)

Why a mountain barangay in the town of Argao when there are also a lot of students in the city or even within Metro Cebu? We are of the belief that areas like Langub Argao, help is probably scarce. Here in Metro Cebu, there are a lot of organizations and even politicians who offer help to students. Don't get us wrong, students here in the metro need help as well. We just thought that difficult-to-reach barangay schools need more help.

Cebu Scoopy Club Gives Back - Feeding Program

"The war against hunger is truly mankind's war of liberation."

Since its establishment more than 2 years ago, Cebu Scoopy Club (CSC) has already planned, or at least envisioned that the club would not just create riding and fun-filled activities but also do efforts of giving back to the less fortunate or to the community. There were suggestions of feeding program, tree planting, community service and so on. But due to busy schedules and other activities and/or priorities, the plans haven't been materialized. Until now.

Biketoberfest 2014 - The Nascency of Honda Scooters Cebu

On October 24 to 26, 2014, Cebu celebrated the grandest and most-awaited bike festival of the province, the 6th Annual Biketoberfest initiated by Star Touring and Riding Association. This year's slogan was "Go for a ride, carve the classic path, star keeps rolling on the road.". This 3-day event was joined by a lot of clubs of Cebu City and nearby towns/cities and even joined by solo riders. It was held at the IT Park, Salinas Drive, Lahug, Cebu City. A lot of big bikes like Harleys and Ducatis, customized bikes and also the popular smaller cc-ed bikes attended.

In line with this activity, 3 Honda scooter clubs of Cebu decided to form a single group to unite all Honda scooters, Beat, Scoopy and Zoomer-X. The 3 clubs, Cebu Beat Riders, Cebu Scoopy Club and Zoomer-X Club of Cebu formed into Honda Scooters Cebu. Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) and Honda Motor World, Inc. (HMW) also never failed to support the 3 clubs, as always and so, they decided to initiate a ride for the Honda Scooters Cebu, the first ever. The proposed route was Cebu City-Balamban-Toledo-Naga and back to Cebu City via Minglanilla and Talisay SRP.

Cebu Scoopy Club Rides to Simala and Argao

The majestic Mama Mary's Castle in Simala.

July has been a very busy month for me and I love it :). First, I had my birthday ride, followed by the nationwide Unity Ride Against Stupid Laws initiated by MRO and it was also MRO Cebu's first ever unity ride coordinated by yours truly and then last July 27, we had the Cebu Scoopy Club July 2014 Ride. The itinerary was going to Mama Mary's Castle in Lindogon, Simala, Sibonga, followed by a quick visit to Argao Nature Park in Argao and then hitting the very nice beach of Dalaguete Beach Park. It was all fun and relaxing. The weather was great when we rode from Honda Philippines Cebu Office in Lahug up to Dalaguete. The sun was not always up and if it was, it's not scorching hot. Best weather for having a ride.

My Birthday Ride with the Cebu Scoopy Club

"Do not dwell on how old you are but how much you have achieved and how much you can achieve with the time you have left in this world."

Well, it's that time of the year again where you reflect on your life events of the year that has passed. Okay, it sounds like a New Year and you bet it is. It's a New Year for me. It's my birthday (weeeeee :) ). And no, today is not my birthday, it happened already a couple of days ago and obviously, I'd like to keep it myself in this post.

So, where did I spend my birthday? First, I invited some Cebu Scoopy Club members to join me in a simple burger breakfast ride to Balamban. Early in the morning, we met at Shell in Lahug near JY Square and about 7:00AM, we rode off to the beautiful (well mostly) roads of Transcentral Highway, from Busay to Balamban. It was a fantastic ride especially the part where there were fogs on the roads. Then, we stopped at Felixberto's Burger and Hotdogs. We ordered burgers and yes, I paid for all burgers we ate. It's supposed to be my birthday but I guess I got used to it. LOLZ!

Oh well, enjoy this video of our ride:

Ride Safe! Ride Scoopy! Godspeed!

Cebu Scoopy Club Joins Honda XRM Carafun 2014 - Visayas Leg

Honda riders who were from Negros and Cebu joined the much awaited Honda XRM Carafun 2014 Visayas Leg on June 21-22, 2014. Cebu Scoopy Club has been privileged to be invited to the said event. The event was held at Aroma Beach Resort in Manjuyod, Negros Oriental. Cebu Honda riders met at Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) office in Lahug, Cebu City at around 5:00 AM. Other clubs were also invited especially 2 groups for the XRM club, this was their event but all types of Honda motorcycle riders were invited. There was the Honda CB110 Club, Honda Wave Club, Honda XRM Club and of course, Cebu Scoopy Club. We started the ride to Manjuyod, Negros at around 7:00 AM but before that, we were given free jerseys. The ride was around 200 kilometers which included the ferry ride from Lilo-an Santander to Tampi. It was definitely a long ride but it was enjoyable since there was less traffic and the country side roads were always a pleasure to ride with.

Meet up at HPI Lahug.

First Solo (Alone) Ride and Finally Posting CSC Sticker in Felixberto

Note: Riding solo can be alone and can be with a back rider. Solo means a single motorcycle. There can be riding alone solo and riding in tandem solo.

Mesha posed at a nice spot going to Top Garden in Busay.

As long as I can remember, I haven't tried riding solo and alone. Okay, except when going to work and running some errands. What I meant is a relatively long ride alone with no back rider(s). My wife and daughter always want to tag along. This time, I tried to ride solo and alone and at the same time, finally posting our Cebu Scoopy Club sticker in Felixberto Burgers and Hotdogs in Balamban (Felixberto).

My ride began at 10am. I checked the tire pressures and I figured I needed to add more PSIs to both tires. For a Honda Scoopy stock-compatible tires, 29psi front and 33psi rear. Then, I gassed up at Shell Maguikay. After that, I looked at Mesha (my Scoopy) and she's totally untidy so, I went to Fibroworkz and Carwash first to wash her dirt up. Php50 for a motorcycle wash. They don't offer wax, only free tire black which I don't like to be applied to Mesha. I don't know but I feel paranoid about sliding my wheel while banking when there is tire black applied to Mesha's tires.

Cebu Scoopy Club 2nd Anniversary

Meetup at Honda Philippines, Inc.

Before Mesha (our Honda Scoopy) arrived, I have already read about this club of Honda Scoopy riders here in Cebu. I learned about them in a thread in istorya.net and this club almost always has long rides every month or so and that invigorated my desire to join this club. In order to become a member, you just need to join the Cebu Scoopy Club (CSC) facebook page and of course you should have a Honda Scoopy obviously. I've been in this group for about 5 months already. The group was formed 2 years ago around May. It looks like there was no official date but the anniversary is celebrated every May on a Saturday and/or Sunday. This is my first time to join their anniversary ride.

It was a long ride from Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) in Lahug, Cebu City to HK Beach Resort, Moalboal, about a hundred kilometers to get there. The riders (including us) met at HPI at around 10:00 AM and we ride off at 11:00 AM.
