THE 2021 HONDAQUEST Honda Quest 2021 is a wrap. Thedusthassettled –theridersallarrived safelybacktoahero’swelcome –andthe winnersreceivedtheirAfricaTwins.Yes – readthatagain!Thewinnerskepttheirbikes. How flippen cool is that? We were invited along to chat to the guys upon their return at the beautoful kaleo lodge near Ceres – and although, we are kind of used to stuff like this, we are always impressed by the raw emotion displayed by the competitors. Ita a great event – life changing as many of them tell us as tears flow freely. Honda SA is on to a great thing for sure. How it all works: Honda Quest is not a race, neither is it a rally. It is simply a chance to be able to compete with a teammate on one of the worlds greatest adventure rides. We know this because we rode parts of the route when Honda launched their little CRF 250 L Rally a few years ago in the Richtersveld, Namakwa Eco Trail, Tankwa Karoo and Cederberg. This event does not happen with 250’s but rather on the very latest Africa Twin 1100 DCT’s. The main aim of Quest is to test human endurance and adaptability, combined with the continent-crossing abilities of the Honda Africa Twin CRF1100. Boot camps are held at centres all around SA where 14 riders were selected to take part in the main event. Great care was then taken taken to pair Honda Quest finalists into teams of two so that they complement each other in this competitive environment. Every morning, someone was presented with a large wooden spoon – an honour to win it as it’s the “Spirit of Quest” according to the other riders. The other, a clown tie is a fun one, given for doing something silly or embarrassing. A day by day account by Andrew Johnston Pics by www.kalonfilms.com 30 DIRT & TRAIL MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2021
