Would you agree, the Phils is all about what you can find, not what you can afford? ) Do you have any ADV 350s for rent? ADV160? Why do you not prefer white color? Hope to rent from you next trip. Also how can there be so many damn Roosters there??? even in cities. WTF. Regards.
Embrace the culture and live a better life, my friend, remember that you’re in their country. the reason you’re there is because of all of it. ❤ Start working to live and Stop living to work.
I wish we could say that in America when all the immigrants come here. Respect OUR AMERICAN CULTURE OR LEAVE. That is all Filipinos say. Yet they may go to other countries yet keep their Filipino culture. Hypocrites !
there is very little consumer protection in the Philippines in. i bought a new motorcycle in 2023 for cash that was advertised as a 2022. when the or/cr came in it was stated as a 2020 model. the receipt from the dealer and the insurance certificate all said 2022. when i brought this to the attention of the dealer he said that it was ok because the models didn’t change from 2020-2022. this would never occur in the USA. i felt like he should have offered my something for the mistake.
Not much customer service in the Philippines. Been here 10 months leaving in 2 weeks. Great if you can or in many cases need to live in a 3rd world country cause of money. But thankfully I do not.
YES in Dumaguete the Rusi scooter people did the same thing to me. After i buy it, I keep losing it at Robinsons mall parking lot because all the scooters look the same. So i had to take off all the plastic panels and paint them crazy colors. This helps the bike parking people remember what bike was mine.
I have meet Derek in person, rented a bike. He has refreshing attitude, positive vibes being in his presence ,of course any negativity is water of a ducks back, he is to busy …
I worked 5 years as a Honda motorcycle mechanic. If I was buying one in the P.I. I would specify that I wanted a white seat cover. Think how much cooler it would be in the hot sun. BTW, Q, I spent a year in Vietnam 11-68 to 11-69 as a mechanic on the helicopter engines. First I was at Di An for 10 weeks then we were moved south to Vinh Long. I just found your channel last night and today subscribed to Gel’s channel too. What a sweetheart. If you can get a message to her tell her I can see her as an airline stewardess on Philippine Air Lines. That would eventually get her to see the USA. My wife is from Manila and we got together in 1986.
HI U2👋! High roller BUDHA D $$$.Congratulations on business success 🙏. Patience is virtue my brother BUDHA D👍. Good things come to those who are willing to wait 👍. Blessings 🙏🌺🌸🌼
I’ve rented from Derek Several times and his Bike’s are always in Great shape and so glad to see his business expanding. While it may seem like a bad thing to turn away business it is fantastic to be running at full capacity as expansion at steady pace will increase and pay for itself.. I still think he should have a few dedicated Rusi for resort (s) only and offer upgrade to PCX or Nmax and for Super Traveler the Xmax as Gravis and Mio good for city. But hope some are like Jason who give some of Bike’s rental to Derek’s Philanthropy cause, as 200 peso day equal $100 month as allot of us would pay the premium knowing it is going to a Great Cause.
Great video. Love that you pay homage to your culture. You know I love the Philippines and the Filipino people but what you have to understand is we as foreigners in their homes we cant change their world. We have to live with their rules and just love life. Be blessed dont spend time bitching and being stressed. Vent your feelings and move on. Be safe and ride on.
YUP life in PH. took me 6 months to get my ARC card. come back next week sir. And never buy a Rusi. they fall apart fast. I am impressed with the level of bike your renting. Most places i have seen look like junk parts bikes. I was in China and some of their government office take 3 hour lunch. in US most business does employee lunch in groups so the entire place does not need to shut down. But NOOOO in PH and China, Lunch break is the kiss of death. Me impressed that you spend extra to upgrade the bikes. I never seen anyone do that before on rentals.

Im hearing you about the frustration- I collected a package from Skylander Terminal in Manila one time- i was early but if you dont give a little HELP$ th pens run out of ink and lots of delays – Your a special person setting up that business
But they say the Filipinos are the best in the world…lol. They smile at you sir and they speak English…talaga?! You should have called the owner and told them you were going to spend 300K piso anymore since their lunch was too important than settling the deal.
@@qadventures How is the bike hunting going? I’m sure Scotty is very happy you got his NMax, now just waiting for mods to come in and get installed along with registration.
Yes Albert. It turned out she had puppet masters working in the background. I offered resources but they were more interested in cash money over paid psychology sessions

You are definitely someone I must talk with. It is about a business plan I have, to help my youngest son.
You might be able to help me with some invention ideas I have as well.
Always welcome
@@qadventures I will be moving to Delfin Albano, Isabela in June 2024.
The plan for me to move to the Philippines was set in motion in 2014. Ten year plan.
I forgot to ask.
How is Ken feeling and doing?
Last I know, he’s in the hospital going though his motions
@@qadventures I wish Ken well. Kindly Greetings.

Haha, Cody. Cock fighting is their 2nd religion here. Roosters everywhere
Very good analysis and attitude for doing business…. You have a great perspective…
Well that’s why your the only 5 star reviewed business in the Philippines lol. Nice bikes tho!
Hahaha!!! I made it a point on customer service
Land of IE and no CS..just an observation over the last 20 yrs of visiting and working in the Philippines. Hahaha..it is what it is…crack on bro.

He’s Filipino too
Great great comment

Can’t you put in a special order with one company or do they not need the money? 🥴🤐😵💫
We put in special order 2 weeks ago. It’s always been “tomorrow” and “tomorrow”
What do you think of the 160 Airblade ?
It’s a great bike, but body and seat too narrow.
If a renter gets into an accident with one of your bikes, how does the liability work over there?

looks good 😉
this guy is so weird, was following him, but not anymore.
What are you talking about?
Adios!!!

I agree with you Derek, it’s slack, surely business takes precedence over lunch break??? Bob. NZ.

I figure logic is logic and isn’t changed by geography.Time for Thailand
@@qadventures I would have told them to stick their bikes and went somewhere else if their minds are that undeveloped.
Your bikes are beautiful Derek – great job picking them out! Good luck with the next 3!
Fingers crossed!
I’m going to rent from you when I’m back in Cebu. do you put your older bikes up for sale?
Either that or I donate it to a worthy person
@@qadventures you’re awesome! I hope I’m worthy 🙏.
See you then Brother, keep up your good nature in helping people.
SORRY SIR OUT OF STOCK HAHA THEY JUST DON”T CARE. Customer service is the worst in the Philippines.
But they say the Filipinos are the best in the world…lol. They smile at you sir and they speak English…talaga?! You should have called the owner and told them you were going to spend 300K piso anymore since their lunch was too important than settling the deal.
The owner is in on it. Said will take my complaint after lunch
@@qadventures smdh 🙄😕
Great video – defiantly unique experience doing business transactions here alone never mine what you are doing. Hello from David & Bella – Dumaguete
Hello David and Bella!!!
@@qadventures How is the bike hunting going? I’m sure Scotty is very happy you got his NMax, now just waiting for mods to come in and get installed along with registration.
You don’t have to accommodate them, take your business elsewhere.
Believe me, they were the 7th business we went to and (believe it or not) the best situation given the circumstances
Hey Derek
Do you have FB account that I can follow for moterbike rental when in Cebu?
Yes. Both, my messenger and whatsapp, are registered to my usa number +1-626-626-6347
Buying a motorcycle here (Luzon) has had its own challenges, too. Hopefully soon I’ll be on 2 wheels again? 🤞
2 wheels is more fun
derek i never saw a follow up of that girl in brarili?
Yes Albert. It turned out she had puppet masters working in the background. I offered resources but they were more interested in cash money over paid psychology sessions
“The Noon Break Sir” 😂😂
I’ll take the quarter mil and skip a meal
That’s my favorite color of Aerox
Well… you got the NMax
@@qadventures yes I got the matte grey. I like all the grey colors
Great job bro
