Derrek is one of the most sincere, honest, and loving people i know of. Haven't met him in person yet, but look forward to that day. He actively looks for people he can help. And not just a few dollars. He looks to make a permanent improvement in people's lives. It shouldn't be so uncommon to find someone like him. But sadly he is a rare breed. Why his channel hasn't exploded is beyond me. Watching a Man (note the capital "M") willing to help people any way he can hopefully inapires more people to be like him. The act of helping is so very rewarding. God Bless him and his whole family.

Good on Derick for sorting you out, I can see he loves his bikes, when I come over ill go see him about getting a rental I can go around the islands on, no one else to my knowledge allows you to do that, top shelf stuff!

You are correct about how to buy a scooter... If i wanted a scooter now.. Just go to a dealer who has a large inventory of scooters that are less tha 1 year old and pick the best one and then haggle the price you want in cash. You then get instant access. If you need brighter led lights or better enduro tires buy them at aftermarket store there. Last time i was there i found a storefront selling these items.. The Honda 160 adv has a better layout for you. But the nmax is a great bike. Its hot in the Philippines.. but wearing closed toe shoes and long pants will give you better protection.. but the best is gaining experience riding safely. Good luck Also using a camera system that frees up your hands and mind is better. Keep it up.
