Emphasizing the importance of proper motorcycle maintenance for an enjoyable and long-lasting ride, Red Sweet Potato chooses Shell Advance AX7 for its affordability and proven performance in his 15 years of riding experience.

Red Sweet Potato advises riders to prioritize safety, invest in quality safety gear, and keep their loved ones in mind when on the road. “Isipin nila yung uuwian nilang pamilya sa bahay na araw-araw naghihintay at nagdadasal na safe ang byahe sa motorsiklo. And of course, para sa mas kumpiyansang byahe na walang worries, mag-invest sa quality safety gears. Because when we know that every journey is safe, mas na-eenjoy natin ang araw-araw na pagmomotor kahit pagod dahil sa trapik.” (Think about their family waiting at home every day, praying for a safe motorcycle journey. And of course, for a more confident and worry-free ride, invest in quality safety gear. Because when we know that every journey is safe, we can enjoy our everyday motorcycle rides even when tired due to traffic.)
Reed Motovlog – Unleashing the Thrill of Riding
From extreme riding conditions to thrilling encounters with fellow riders, Reed’s passion knows no bounds. His vlogging journey has allowed him to capture every heart-pounding moment, from his humble small motorcycle to his dream big bike, the Kawasaki Z1000. With a background in extreme sports and athletics, the motorcycle became an extension of his personality, perfectly aligned with his thirst for adrenaline.
Reflecting on one of his most thrilling adventures, Reed fondly recalls participating in the Boss Ironman Challenge 2023, a grueling 1,200-km ride within 24 hours. Shell Advance Ultra helped him experience ultimate engine performance, giving maximum power up to 20,000-km mileage, 1.5x engine start, and 3x better heat protection which enabled him to complete the endurance challenge with ease.
Reed encourages riders to push their limits, constantly striving for new heights while advocating safety at the forefront. “Laging tandaan na sa pagmomotor hindi lang kaligtasan mo ang dapat nasa isip, dapat isinasaalang-alang mo rin ang safety ng ibang tao sa paligid mo kaya naman napaka-importante sa isang motor na nasa tamang kundisyon at pag-aalaga nito.” (Always remember to prioritize not only your own safety but also the safety of others while riding a motorcycle. It’s crucial to ensure that your bike is in proper condition and well-maintained.)
