    Looks like this year's event finally pushed things over the edge. Even motorcycle advocate Bosita spoke out against them.

    Parang covid din kasi ang pagiging kamote, walang pinipili.

    Mas maraming Boss ironman wannabe endurance challenge kuno ng mga scooters o low displacement bikes ang mas maraming accident at fatality, di lang na pick up ng news.

    IMO. BOSS Ironman is an "event" for people who can spend. (toys for the big boys)

    good luck sa inquiry... I think its easier if they ask Sen. Bato Dela Rosa

    I'm sure our Senate/Congress knows why this event can easily get a permit from LGUs annually.

    Another grandstanding moments for the honorable clowns. As usual wala din mangyayari dyan.

    Imagine how many politicians joined that event? I subpoena sana yung data logs nila. Ibigay sa LTO.
    Kagaguhan talaga na bigyan mo sila ng permit, avenue to be reckless.

    Ano ba wisdom behind this? bakit hindi gawin sa track? kahit one week pa sila doon mag overspeed.

    Its similar to car clubs fun run with a cannon ball run twist.
    Dapat gawing mandatory nayung gps if you overspeed dapat automatic DQ agad.

    Bitter lang yan si Bosita hindi kasi qualified to join mga kamote rider clubs nya. Ginagaya nila yan endurance run may aksidente at patay din pero di nya imbestigahan.

    its to promote tourism.

    problem is that participants started publishing unofficial timings.

    well,
    safety is always paramount,
    especially for those who were not even participating.

    "if you're gonna hold something on public roads, best that you don't. but if, for some reason, na-approve, you better have adequate and effective safety protocols in play."

    Paano ma-promote tourism eh humaharurot lang sila? Di naman sila tumutigil sa mga bayan eh. Its the same criticism sa Paris-Dakar Rally. Meron yearly motorcycle convention na pinupuntahan ni Digong, yun lumilibot sa buong Pilipinas ang venue at malaki talaga ang tourism revenue.
