Ion Perez: Have (motor)bike, will travel

MANILA, Philippines — Ion Perez’s love for adventure and bikes has taken him to many places, even before he joined showbiz.  He has pedaled to Antipolo, Baguio City and other sceniec places with biker friends. 

eedless to say, biking opened a whole new world of friendship for him. 

But while painting the town red on his motorbike is his passion,  the 33-year-old Ion makes sure he observes road safety.  Ion knows  he shares the road with others, so he must be conscious of how a wrong maneuver can threaten his – and their lives.

“Road safety is very important to me,” he says in Filipino.  “It is important not just for me, but for others on the road too. Yung sign sa pag babike nagagamit ko rin sa pag guide sa daan, like,” he says.

His concern for safety keeps Ion alert whenever he’s on his motorbike.  Thus, he admits feeling nervous because the motor he uses for his bike allows him to hit the road at top speed. But he has learned to fight this fear and navigate the road smoothly and safely .  This way, he enjoys the feel of the wind on his face and the breathtaking scenes that unfold as he goes past one scenic place to another.

Of course, wearing a helmet – the right one – makes a big difference.

“Never be lazy.  Always wear your helmet,” the veteran biker advises.  “You cannot buy a head (which can suffer from injury in a freak accident). But you can always buy a helmet.”

Ion chooses  Motoman because he finds it comfortable.   He also likes its accessories, such as the motorbox.

As new Motoman brand ambassador, Ion doesn’t just endorse the product.  He also wants to  inspire riders to prioritize their safety while enjoying the exhilaration of riding.

 He reminds fellow riding enthusiasts, “Always remember, you have a family waiting for you, hoping that you get home safe and sound.  So always be careful, and stay safe.”

 Motoman helmets and accessories are available via  Lazada and Shopee apps and select distributors nationwide.  For details, visit tiktok: @motomanmain, Instagram: @motoman.philippines, and facebook: @motomancorporation.
