Welcome!

📍 Welcome to Motor Capitol PH 

Hey rider! 👋

Back in 2016, I got my first motorcycle. Like many new riders, I had no clue about proper motorcycle maintenance or the right riding gear. All I knew was to do a periodic oil change—and that was it.

By 2018, things got confusing. My fuel-injected scooter started emitting black smoke, which I knew wasn’t normal. I didn’t want to go straight to a motorcycle shop—I didn’t fully trust them, worried they might do unnecessary repairs or modifications.

So I started digging. I did my own research, asked fellow riders, talked to veteran motorcycle users, and consulted trusted mechanics. That journey taught me a lot—and it’s the reason I started this blog.
