Honda’s True Adventure Tour: Ft. the Honda Transalp & Africa Twin
11-time Baja 1000 winner Johnny Campbell led a hybrid influencer/demo-ride event—the Honda True Adventure Tour this past May. Based around an adventure motorcycle ride from Northern Washington to Southern California, the event featured social-media influencers riding Transalp and Africa Twin adventure bikes, with the group making periodic stops at Honda powersports dealerships for public demo rides. Factory Monster Energy Honda riders Ricky Brabec (a two-time Dakar Rally winner) and Skyler Howes made guest appearances at different points along the ride.
A total of approximately 1,500 miles in length, the Honda True Adventure Tour started May 5 in Lakewood, Washington, with Campbell leading a group of four influencers to overnight stops in the Oregon municipalities of Sisters, Eugene and Coos Bay, before they finished up in Eureka, California. There, a second team of influencers took the baton for an all-California stint, to include overnight stops in Roseville, Paso Robles and Huntington Beach, before the ride made a ceremonial finish at the American Honda Collection Hall in Torrance on May 14th.
Along the route, the group stopped at a trio of Honda powersports dealerships—Lakewood, Washington’s South Bound Motorsports on May 4; Roseville, California’s Roseville Honda Motorsports on May 11; and Huntington Beach, California’s Huntington Beach Honda on May 14. The public was invited to these stops, where they met Campbell and joined Honda’s demo team on local rides aboard new Honda powersports models, including Transalps and Africa Twins.
