Malolos City— At least 1,400 motorcycle riders made a record-breaking show of brotherhood and camaraderie as they gathered for the second year staging of the “Republika Ride” starting from the Marilao-Petron gas station inside the North Luzon Expressway up to the Malolos Sports & Convention Center. Senator JV Ejercito, driving a red 1200 Ducati, answered the take-off whistle at 730 a.m. together with City Mayor Christian ‘Agila’ Natividad (aboard a 1000 BMW) and other members of 50 big-bike groups that negotiated the 15-kilometer ride in less than 20 minutes.
