Hello everyone, I'm Joel Syquia and welcome to my channel! I believe that motorcycle adventures and the deepening of one's faith can coincide with each other, as people explore life and meaning through various means that allow them direct access to nature and the world. In my case, I dove into the world of motorcycling as a way to find balance among the professional, family, personal and spiritual aspects of my life. It's been an amazing journey ever since and I never looked back, because the more I experienced the beauty of nature and the richness of individual acquaintances, the more my faith in God's providence deepened. I created this channel with the help of my 12-year-old daughter on February 14, 2021; and through it, I hope to share some of my exciting adventures and discoveries with you, as we ride together to experience the wonders that this world has to offer... particularly in my country, the Philippines!
Thanks again, Joel, for this beautiful video. It's truly inspiring! How I wish I could travel and visit old churches as well. Anyway, watching your videos always makes me feel like a pilgrim. Take care, and God bless.
@@leimacoy5312 Thanks a lot Sr. Lei. Sana you can take evem just a quick drive to this church to visit the miraculous image. It's not that far. I pray for your good health... God bless 🙏
I absolutely blown away by this video. Our family visited Vigan, but there was so much to see and we only had one day to see as much as we can. We did the buggy tour of Vigan and visited Syquia Mansion, but we never got the chance to see Bantay Church. Like the Holy Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Chapel by the Ruins became truly holy ground. I would love one day to go back and have a Mass heard in that Chapel so I pray deeply I will make that a reality. Thanks, Joel!
@@Lesevesel Thanks a lot! Yes, I think one would need a couple of days to fully take in the sites in and around Vigan. I managed to make this vlog before the earthquake hit Ilocos and damaged the Syquia Mansion and Vigan cathedral, which are currently under construction. I think even the Bantay bell tower is currently sealed off. I hope all the works get done soon so that people can better appreciate the historical ambience of the place. I hope you and your family can return sometime in the future.
Thank You so much Sir. Sobrang ganda. See you on ur next video. Im also a Motorcycle traveler.frm Nasugbu Batangas. Pumupunta rin po kung saang-saan mga Churches. More power...❤🏍🏍
@@juvergantong9342 Maraming salamat po and it's great to meet a fellow rider online! Batangas has several old churches.. very rich in history. Ride safe always 🙏
Was that a baby goat that you passed, cute? I need to travel to the Philippines. I have a 2014 T100 Bonneville. I'm thinking of moving to the Street Scrambler 900 for more leverage with the handlebars & seating position @ my 73 years of age. Thank you for your video & your beautiful scenery. 😊
@@markm3143 Hahaha! Yes that was indeed a goat! I myself moved from a T100 to a Scrambler 900. Personally, I prefer the looks of the Scram, with its wider handlebars and those lovely pipes, but I must say that form doesn't always align with function 🙂. The high pipes are quite hot and I need to wear an extra layer on my right leg (under my pants) to manage the heat. I do hope you can visit the Philippines. In the meantime, I wish you safe and enjoyable rides!
Hi , This is indeed a very inspiring thing you did ! A very rare one but very engaging and so spiritual one way or another . This is a grace - filled experience of yours shared to us through this video ! God bless you evermore and may you do the same for other provinces .
@@sr.teresitaagana5555 Thanks so much po Sr. Agana for your inspiring message! 🙏 I look forward to doing more videos of our country's historic churches. God bless you always!

Amazing! It was surely a grace-filled experience to visit St. Monica Chuch not only for its beauty and history but also because it houses the tomb of Nina Ruiz Abad, Servant of God. The video is informative, formative, and very interesting. I love it! BTW, even the "drone exp." was part of the journey. 😊
@@leimacoy5312 Thanks so much Sr. Lei! I really feel so blessed to have been introduced to Niña Abad. It would be so nice to have another Filipino saint, and especially someone whom younger generations can easily relate to. God bless you always! 🙏
Hello Sir Thank you for visiting our Church 🙏 and we are now preparing for the 300 years anniversary of our church,and that you for visiting and praying on the tomb of Servant of God Niña Ruiz Abad 🙏❤️,,may i ask your permission to copy and share your video please 🙏
Hello po! Oo nga e... pahirap kasi ng pahirap gumawa ng mga vlogs 😂 But I'm so glad I managed to make this one. It was such a meaningful experience for me. Thanks so much for still being around and watching my vlogs. I hope you like it and God bless.
Great bike. I have the 900 GT Pro. I wanted the low due to my height (5'3'') but was out of stock. But i have gotten used to the Tiger Gt Pro. Thanks for sharing your video.
I've been in Santa Maria twice... but I missed seeing that pathway going to the old chapel. Something to look forward to the next time I visit up North. Great vlog!
Great vid! Thank you. Was the steep course around 9:00 Link Run C? I'm thinking of going to Furano and I'm trying to learn about it. How long and when were you there?
Thanks a lot! 👍 The steep slope (at least for me) was the link between the Furano and Kitanomine zones. I think it's labelled H1 in the ski map. It's tagged as a blue slope, but it felt like a red to me (I'm sure due to my below average ski level 😃 ). It was steeper than all the other blues in the resort. One particular blue piste I loved was G3, coz of its constant steepness (its at 10:12 ). They closed it later that day for a competition actually. We went at the tail end of February and spent an entire week there. Totally enjoyed it. The reviews are correct in that it's not as crowded as other resorts, though the restaurants had limited operating times, which meant that you just couldn't ski into one outside lunchtime for a quick snack 🙂
Cool. Thank you. Yes H1 was the course I thought you were on. It looks a bit steep for me too, but it's required to ski from mountain to mountain I guess. I see what you mean about G3 staying consistent - until it flattens out when it joins the green courses. The great snow and small crowds makes the end of February quite attractive. Interesting comment about the restaurants - I'll keep that in mind. I saw your comment about liking the hotel. That's good to know too. Thanks
Awesome review brother! I’m from Mexico and with your video, I’ve decided to purchase the 900 GT low version! I’m 5’7 and I’ve been struggling with bigger bikes like the GS 1250! Now I’m going for the 900 GT low! Thank you and keep it up! 😊
Thanks a lot for your kind comment and I'm glad the video could be of help. I believe they've improved the Tiger 900 from the version I had and so I'm sure yours will be even much better! Ride safe 👍
Thanks a lot for your greeting! I certainly love both the 1250 GS and Tiger, but comparing both at this stage of my riding, I do have my personal fave. Speaking only about the Tiger 900 GT (low), I respect that it got me to an ideal comfort-level in terms of riding motorbikes. I like that it isn't that heavy and it could keep up with larger cc bikes on the road. However, I dropped it a lot offroad. I had difficulties with its aggressive throttle response (noting that it's the GT version) and it felt a bit top heavy for me. The GS is certainly heavier, but I feel more confident leaning it further down in corners and it feels lighter to ride offroad. I feels more balanced. As for the sound of the engine and exhaust, some people don't like that of the GS, but I actually love its low grunt compared to the Tiger. So yeah, at this point, I prefer the 1250 GS over the Tiger 900 GT, but I heard that the newer Tiger 900 has made some improvements.
Great video. Thank you so much. I'm picking up a 900 Tiger GT Pro next week. I'm 5' 5" with a 28 inch inseam. I sat on the 900 LRH model that you reviewed and it felt great. I found a GP Pro for sale with only 984 miles on it. Perfect condition. Since it was a private sale within the state (Arizona), I didn't have to pay sales tax, and as a private sale there was no freight, setup charge, etc. that a dealer would add. Since I need to low ride height of the LRH model, I'm investing in the LRH seat, and a set of Lust Racing lowering links. These two mods bring the GT Pro down to the same ride height as your LRH model. Thank you again for an excellent video.
Thanks a lot and I'm glad you liked the video. The LRH is suprisingly low for an ADV... 770mm if I'm not mistaken. To have that height on a GT Pro is great! Congratulations!

I'm getting ready for my 1st Moab trip with me GT Pro and curious what mirrors youre using. Those would be better for standing up off road. Thanka for sharing the ride and information.
Legit follower po talaga ako since naka sabay po namin kayo sa Lobo batangas Scrambler pa po gamit niyo nun. keep it up Sir. Sana madami pa kami mapanuod.
Yes naaalala ko kayo! Maraming salamat talaga! Nasa akin pa yun Scrambler ko at talagang mahal ko yun bike na yan :) Gamit ko yun GS ko for longer rides. Ride safe palagi sa inyo!
@@MotoFaith in the mid to late 70’s I used to ride a CB500 four all over and many roads were not paved in those days. When the “enduros” came out in the late 70’s we got a KE100 Kawasaki it just changed everything for me and my brothers (we all ride)
@@MotoFaith yes, I do ride a 2018 Africa Twin and it’s pretty basic bike with only switchable (rear) ABS and 4 position traction control, which I normally put off. I feel it’s 270 crank cycle is what makes it a great bike to ride on dirt roads and poor traction conditions, the pulses are just well timed instead of the ripping power of the KTM’s and such. Before this bike I was basically riding big bore single cylinder bikes and again these bikes provide tractable power. I stepped up to a twin for a smoother ride and chose an adventure style bike for wind and weather protection with upright (comfort) touring seating position. My wife used to ride pillion with me too so the space was nice. But as I’ve grown older and my wife is not riding with me anymore, also I find myself riding solo more, am looking to downsize to lighter bike
Ang ganda po sir ng view diyan, sana soon maka sama ako sa mga susunod mong mga vlogs sir. Gusto ko den yan mga travel vlogs. Ride safe po lage sir sa mga byahe nyo. God blessed..
