After my ‘Taste Test’ on the 2018 Vulcan S the past year, I got a chance of riding this bike in a parking lot!
The Vulcan S is a very good entry-level cruiser, it’s one of the first motorcycles that have the ERGO-fit custom fitting system for riders. And it’s a bargain among its peers.
So, how does it handle while dodging cones? Is the bike too big or awkward for gymkhana duties!?
I’m curious to find out how a forward-controlled motorcycle handles the tricky stuff like in the parking lot! It will be a very fun affair!
Purely unscripted, completely random talk.
Vulcan S Base Prices: USD 7,199 (+taxes & license) PHP 415,000 (+license & fees)
Enough with the slow stuff! Time to squeeze the throttle more!!
What would you do if you have a tiny bike like this Z125, the Grom or Monkey, or the (Benelli) TNT135, a parking lot or a driveway that is big enough to lay down sticky tape and micro-cones, and a bunch of fellow mini bike friends? You got an instant race track!!!
Watch me as I go silly as I wheeze along this tight track!
This is the final video of my three-part Z125 Ride Adventure Series. And also one my first (unofficial) Bite Test!
Ride Adventures are videos that are short and sweet. In this case, I never took this bike out on public roads.

At SEMA Show 2016? Check.
A Potato Cam? Check.
This is part 3 of my SEMA 2016 tour and I will give you my brief tour at the 2016 SEMA Show! This time, I will be showing you this little-known small EV start-up from British Columbia (Canada) called: Electra Meccanica Solo! There was little to no press coverage on this car when I was recording this!!!
After figuring out the kinks and obstacles using HitFilm4 Express & Handbrake, it’s a bit rough as you can see!
Welcome to ML Classics, here I upload some of my old videos from my old and now-defunct channel. These videos were taken WAY before I acquired my GoPros and access to iMovie. So let's head towards memory lane!
More SEMA 2016 content in the future.

Here comes a New Challenger!
The Honda MSX125 Grom, Kawasaki Z125 Pro, and the SSR Razkull 125. What are these bikes have in common? They're all small, fun, and exciting minibikes!
This TNT 135 is somewhat a new-comer in the US market to combat the 125cc to 200cc street-legal minibikes.
With so much hype into these small motorcycles, how will it perform? Stay tuned as I laugh all the way from Las Vegas!

Let's fill the void on Yamaha's current lineup in North America (& maybe in Canada too)!
Here are 5 Yamaha models not available in the States that can be a complete home runs within their segments.

Suzuki has many motorcycles that have a cult following:
- For 'squids' = The GSX-R series
- For speed fanatics = The Hayabusa (esp. Twin-Turbo installed)
- For Dual-Sport = The DR/DR-Z series
- For ADV Riders = The V-Strom series
- And for 'the kamote kings' = The Raider 150
But over the years, none has a more distinct following than the SV650.
The SV650 has been around since 1999 as a low-budget alternative to the British Street Triples and Ducati Monsters of the day! For its combination of low price-high value with a dash of fun to toss along, this 3rd generation marks the return to its Sport-Naked glory!
A staple of Suzuki's V/L-Twin line of motorcycles (along with the V-Strom) makes the SV (and its SFV650 Gladius predecessor) a definite icon and loved by riders all over the world!
But as a cousin to one of my favorite motorcycles, the V-Strom 650. Will, a different riding experience to hold its name? Especially with a very-crowded 650-750cc Sport Naked Class, how will it stand out compared to the much popular and lovable Yamaha MT-07? Check it out here!
