PBA Moto Club: ride on

- By BILL VELASCO

The famed PBA Moto Club started out as a mere release from the boredom of being cooped up during the pandemic. It has since evolved into an online phenomenon, garnering millions of views and more than half a million subscribers on YouTube and Facebook.

"We still had that adrenaline rush," says retired PBA player Rico Maierhofer, who started it all with phone calls. "Nobody could go out during the pandemic. And we also wanted to see how we looked on our motorcycles. But that one ride brought together 11 PBA All-Stars."
