In his latest vlog, Ryan ‘Ninong Ry’ Reyes ditched his wok and chicken oil for his yellow Vespa and helmet.
The content creator recently joined his video editor Jerome and other friends for a long ride to Tanay, Rizal, to have some leather goods made and to find a place to eat. The group then proceeded to Bonifacio Global City in Taguig to grab coffee, before Reyes went to Bacoor, Cavite to pick up a gift from a fan.
“Sa totoo lang, hindi ko inakalang mag-e-enjoy ako sa ganitong klaseng ride,” he said at one point in the video. “Kasi nag-e-enjoy akong mag-motor, pero always with a purpose eh. Parang feeling ko kasi pag ganito nag-aaksaya ka lang ng oras, pero hindi pala.”
Along the way, many of his fans—whom he fondly calls ‘mga inaanak’—recognized the YouTuber even with a helmet on and had their photos taken with him.
In the motovlog, Reyes also explained his passion for riding: “Hindi ko alam sa mga nagmo-motor diyan, pero ako kasi nagmo-motor ako kasi sobrang active lagi ng utak ko eh. And there's really no time na mapahinga yung utak ko lalo pag nasa bahay lang ako. Either nakaharap sa cellphone, computer or nag-iisip ng kahit ano eh.
“Pero pag nagmo-motor ka, occupied yung isip mo nito—ng kalsada, ng pagmo-motor. Eh dati nakikinig ako ng podcast habang nagmo-motor, pero ngayon hindi na. Kahit music, ngayon hindi na halos eh.”
