Yamaha Ride With Confidence for Women!

In the busy and congested streets of the metro, motorcycles are probably the best thing (next to bicycles) that you can use to get around without the fear of getting stuck in traffic and soaking in someone else's sweat. But let's be honest. Not everyone who owns a motorcycle knows how to drive it safely. According to statistics, motorcycles have the highest road accident rate compared to cars and public transportation. I don't think anyone wants to end up as road kill. And, now that I have a license, I had every intention to learn proper motorcycle riding.

Earlier in the week, and in good timing, we received an invitation from Yamaha Motor Philippines to join their "Ride With Confidence: Yamaha Safe Riding Seminar for Women". This Seminar is arranged every Mother's Day and has been for 2 years now. 

I like this shirt a lot. :) 

I was part of batch 3 and got there a little past 12:30. I was surprised at how many women participated. It was refreshing to see middle aged women there and they were, honestly, more attentive and excited than I was. We were given a goody bag that contained a YSRS (Yamaha Safe Riding Science) shirt, arm sleeves, a snack stub and a Yamaha catalog mag. Moms in our group were given flowers for their special day.
