Ride to a Surreal Abandoned Tunnel Deep in the Forest | Aprilia SR GT 200

"The Laiban Dam was at the heart of the Manila Water Project III, conceived in 1979. But grave human rights abuses during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos, coupled with civil unrest, halted its construction. It languished until 2007, when the government of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo won Chinese funding for it. But it was quickly shelved again, part of the fallout from a corruption scandal linked to Chinese funding for a separate infrastructure project."

An ominous abandoned tunnel that was part of this project remains carved into a hill deep in the Sierra Madre along the Agos River, and a relatively new accessible trail now allows you to get there without extreme difficulty. So I decided to take the Aprilia SR GT 200 down that trail to put it through its paces for a fine Sunday morning adventure.

Hey Aaron, I just bought the same bike you’re riding in the video. And yes I’m amazed as well with the torque of the bike. I have an BMW F700 GS, which rarely gets ridden lately, and so I got myself the SR GT200 and I must say that it’s worth every centavo.

Wow that says a lot! Glad you're enjoying the Aprilia.

Sayang naman that the dam project was never been completed. It could have helped the Philippines big time time 😑
