will have its 1st official long ride for 2014 to Baguio as it commemorates the new set of officers for the year 2014-2015 with President Charlie Carlos Ride.
ATAT was
founded on friendship in 2002 when three long-time friends Kiko Bernardo, Teddy
Lim and Elton Ong decided to get together after realizing their passion for
motorbikes. From there, the group of three started to grow and had many
impromptu rides —at any given time, at a moment’s notice, with a “drop what you
are doing and let’s ride!” kind of attitude.
Together
with another long time friend Alberto Matias the group decided to name the
group ATAT — which, in the vernacular, describes someone all too eager and
impatient to do something. With Benjie Ladra, Myke Torres, Kevin Chua, and
Jimmy Chan pioneers in ATAT, the group started to grow in numbers. At its peak,
they had a total of 45 members.
Now on its
12th year, ATAT Motorcycle Club has established itself as one of the premier
motorcycle clubs in the country. At present, the club has 24 members and
despite their busy schedules, their friendship has evolved into a deep sense of
camaraderie and a brotherhood of passionate riders.
The
members consists of : Elton Ong, Benjie Ladra, Abet Matias, Marc de Joya,
Charlie Carlos, Raymond Hallare, Vince Mercado, Felix Luakian, Mervin
Pullon,Francis Varela, Paolo Vialu, Rei Lagamia, Mayie Capinpin , Oliver
Jimeno, JC Villanueva, AJ Maralit, Aaron Macalinao, Jevis Aguila Marketing
Manager at Granstar Motors, the local distributor of Aprilia and Lawrence
Macalinao. “We have been riding for a long time, and unlike other sport-bike
riders, ATAT members really push and ride hard. We have made it our advocacy to
ride hard on the track, not on the streets, to promote safe riding,” said Marc
de Joya, General Manager at Ducati Phils.
