Honda True Adventure Episode 2: Live Unlike The Others + Video

Earlier this week, we brought you episode one of Honda’s True Adventure series, documenting Honda’s desire to tame the wild race that is the Paris-Dakar Rally. In this, episode two, the spotlight turns to ordinary people with an extraordinary urge to explore the world, be it through paved roads or otherwise. Here, we meet but a few of them. Some are traveling on old C90s, others on new CRF250Ls. All are venturing down the road less traveled, and all are experiencing life-changing events because of it.

The buildup, of course, is in anticipation of Honda’s new Adventure bike the company teased with the True Adventure prototype at EICMA this year. A true world traveler has been missing in Honda’s lineup for some time (at least in the U.S.), and its arrival would raise the stakes in the Adventure-Touring game, currently occupied by a list of manufacturers around the world.

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. For now, simply enjoy and become inspired, by episode two of True Adventure.

A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.
