Riders on the Storm with out Jim Morrison

New... check MCP Web Master BoyG's take on this ride, the Lambretta and Kap Bobby's pics, here.

I didn’t realize, up until this-my latest scooter run, how enjoyable it is to ride in the pouring rain on a countryside road, like in Rizal and Laguna national hi-ways. These roads cover a big part of the north side of Laguna de Bay and, full of twisties with sweeping vistas like for one, the lake’s flat embankments. Fresh mountain air and clean rain water feels good to the bone. Here are some pics that will speak for it self. Click this link for the video too!
Take a good look at these guys above because this is the last time you'll see them with a "fresh-n-clean-straight-out-of-the-shower-look". Hehehe. By the way, big hello to Mang Gerry (5th from left) of Sta Rosa Laguna. Thanks for coming out and seeing us off. Next time, we will passby your place instead...

Halayhayin Point, I think, :) of Rizal. Just a few kilometers off Pililla is a viewpoint worth stopping twice or maybe more. It has a breathtaking 250 degree view of Laguna lake, pretty hard to ignore when you happen to pass this mountain road.

Same place from a different angle. Checkout the clouds on the mountain peak. The rain kept pouring but we still manage to stop, enjoy the view and eat pugo and chitcharon.

Leaving Pililla wet is the last thing in these guys minds...four of the five vintage Lambrettas rode with us in the rain. And here, they're enjoying it as much. Lammies!...now I know these classic scooters are not only cool to look at but are actually very dependable.
