FunTranscript
00:00They are known as the king of the road, that's why they are always there even in bad times.
00:08Others love them and take care of them.
00:13I love my motorcycle because it helps me in my daily life.
00:22It's like you have a child. It's like you have a second child.
00:26Every day, we check the motor wash.
00:31In a company like this, of course, you have to be careful.
00:34Because if there's a damage, you have to pay for it.
00:36That's right.
00:43Francis is 30 years old, but he still has a lot of feelings.
00:47He doesn't just have one, two, or three motorcycles.
00:50He has 16 big bikes.
00:53My love for motorcycles is increasing.
00:57From 125cc to 200cc, it's increasing.
01:01250cc, 400cc, 600cc, 1000cc.
01:05The size of the bike is a cubic centimeter.
01:09But these motorcycles are not just for personal use,
01:12because Francis is also earning from them.
01:15He asked me, bro, can I borrow your motorcycle?
01:19Because I'm going to get married.
01:20It's just for a photo and video shoot.
01:23He said, bro, just take it.
01:26I said, no bro, I'll give it to you.
01:28Francis has a motorcycle partner in his shop,
01:31where he is serving as a middleman.
01:37Francis dreamed of having a nice motorcycle.
01:40But because of the state of their life,
01:42his parents couldn't give it to him.
01:45Until he went to college and became a working student.
01:48This is where he fulfilled his long-awaited dream.
01:52It's not that beautiful, it's really my first bike.
01:55It's just for me to travel to school and work.
02:01To save and buy a better motorcycle,
02:04Francis tried to travel abroad as a bartender in America.
02:08And after Francis returned to the Philippines,
02:10he started his big bike rental business.
02:13He earned Php 120,000 abroad
02:16that Francis bought from his first big bike.
02:19He also sells motor parts, accessories, and motorcycle apparels.
02:23He also invested in the buy and sell of big bikes.
02:26Francis admitted that he won't lose his business competitiveness,
02:30but his touring here is different.
02:33I think of it as a positive,
02:35because a lot of big bike rentals are arising.
02:40If I run out of units, I call them.
02:43If they don't have enough units, they call me.
02:46It's like we're giving and taking.
02:49And now, his income is increasing from Php 20,000 to Php 50,000 per month.
02:56There came a point where we were short.
03:00We don't earn enough as employees.
03:05So, sometimes we really need to do business.
03:09Let's try different ways of earning money.
03:13Php 1,999 is the promo rate for every big bike
03:16that is used for a photoshoot within 24 hours.
03:21It can be for weddings, debuts, or other occasions.
03:24But if you're going to use it for a short ride,
03:26the rent is Php 2,500,
03:28while it's Php 3,500 for a long ride.
03:32At first, we'll ask for the destination,
03:35then we'll see it on the GPS.
03:37If it's over a kilometer,
03:40we have a charge of Php 20 per kilometer.
03:44If it's succeeding hours, it's Php 150 per hour.
03:49Most of the big bike rentals that Francis has
03:52are aspiring big bike owners.
03:54Some of them have under-maintenance motorcycles,
03:56have dates, group rides, and to use for vlogging.
03:59Most of them are renting for riding tours.
04:04In the big bike rental business,
04:06it's important that the process is well-organized.
04:09When they message us on Facebook,
04:11we'll ask them,
04:12which bike do you prefer?
04:13Destination and how many days?
04:15Here, the team of Francis will know
04:17if it's a short ride or a long ride.
04:19After that, if it's okay,
04:22we will require minimum Php 1,000 reservation fee
04:26so that we can book the schedule and slot of the bike.
04:30Three government IDs are included in the requirements
04:32for renting a big bike.
04:34The current bill is water and electricity.
04:36Aside from the driver's license,
04:37a passport, UMID, national ID, or voter's ID
04:41will be required.
04:42We have a security deposit of Php 10,000.
04:45But if you have a passport that you will surrender,
04:48the deposit is only Php 5,000.
04:52You need to send the link of the social media account
04:54for the background check.
04:55On the turnover of the bike,
04:56the requirements should be submitted again
04:58to check if the documents are legitimate.
05:01The unit renter will give the remaining balance
05:03before signing the contract.
05:05We will orient them on the motorcycle,
05:07what is their model,
05:09what model is this,
05:10how many cc,
05:11the features of this motorcycle.
05:14Francis has the most important requirements
05:17before turning over the bike.
05:19They should know how to handle a big bike.
05:21They should be physically fit.
05:22They should be physically fit
05:23because it doesn't depend on their weight
05:25or physical features.
05:27They should be physically fit
05:29because they can handle it.
05:31Because a big bike can be heavy.
05:33We need to be a low-abiding citizen.
05:36We should follow the speed limit.
05:39I searched if there is a rental like this.
05:43Because cars are popular.
05:45We don't have a budget for a big bike.
05:46So we can try the feeling of riding a big bike.
05:49When you ride a big bike,
05:51you feel like you want to drive.
05:56Do you also dream of having your own big bike
05:58like the artists and our hosts,
06:00Matteo, Ruru, Drew, Kuya Kim, and Ivan?
06:04Riding a bike gives you a sense of freedom.
06:07Your focus is on the road.
06:11It's like the stress is gone.
06:14The coolness factor is there.
06:16But what I feel is more important,
06:18I think it's a life skill.
06:20I can help the environment
06:22because the bike has a smaller carbon footprint
06:24compared to a car.
06:25The sense of risk makes you feel alive.
06:30Today, we will be joined by a motovlogger,
06:32Marvs TV,
06:33who has 1.3 million followers on Facebook.
06:38Why did you like riding a bike?
06:40Riding a bike is for us enthusiasts.
06:45Riding a bike is not just for service.
06:48Aside from being a hobby,
06:51this is what we ride when we are sad in the world.
06:56Really? Can you talk about that?
06:58Not really.
06:59But when we ride a bike,
07:01all the problems in the world are gone.
07:03That's what we feel.
07:05How did you end up riding a bike?
07:07In motovlogging,
07:08I'm actually a shy person.
07:11Really?
07:13Yes.
07:14When I'm motovlogging,
07:16I can't see your face.
07:20I feel like I'm just talking to myself.
07:23I'm just wearing a helmet.
07:24So, motovlogging helped you
07:27overcome your shyness.
07:30How do you take care of yourself?
07:32We take care of ourselves like a baby.
07:37I see.
07:39Some people just use things.
07:41Yes.
07:42Baby, thank you.
07:43Thank you for taking care of me.
07:45That's why I feel like I'm just talking to myself.
07:50Our photoshoot was a success
07:52using Francis' big bike.
08:02Aside from social media,
08:03motovlogging helped Francis
08:05to grow his business.
08:07He also joined a motorcycle riding community
08:09where he can get clients.
08:12It's a way to improve your business
08:15and your relationship with your customers.
08:17You need to trust me
08:19and I trust him.
08:22Francis is also present
08:23in various moto shows and events.
08:25For now,
08:26Francis is just making money
08:27from his businesses.
08:28But the most important thing for him
08:30is to help others
08:32just like he helps children.
08:35It's important to learn how to run
08:37a business like this.
08:40How do you sell it?
08:43How many hours?
08:44What's the distance?
08:45What are the requirements?
08:47At first, we had a lot of lapses
08:49and failures.
08:50But we considered it as a lesson learned
08:53from mistakes.
08:55Before, I didn't count kilometers.
08:58But it impacts the maintenance of the motorcycle.
09:02It's also important to be hardworking,
09:04smart, and patient.
09:05There's no instant success.
09:07That's why we're working hard.
09:09In business,
09:11do what you want.
09:12Your passion.
09:14If it's your passion,
09:16through thick or thin,
09:18you'll fight for it.
09:22You can't always enjoy riding
09:23until the end of your life.
09:24When it comes to business,
09:26you need to have a strong heart
09:28to continue running your business.
