The 2017 Honda Quest True Adventure is about to commence as the organiser, Honda Motorcycles Southern Africa, has shortlisted 40 semi-finalists for the Quest Boot Camp after meticulously working through more than 800 entries.
A statement issued on Monday said a number of factors were considered in narrowing down the figure and these included applicants’ adventure riding track record, their suitability for becoming brand ambassadors for Honda Africa Twin and, finally, an indication of whether they possess the “X-factor” – something that makes them stand out from the rest.
“These 40 semi-finalists will be put through an intense selection process at Boot Camp on 4, 5 and 6 August. The organisers will be looking for a combination of skills – from riding ability and a positive attitude to an ability to function in a team and, perhaps most importantly, a willingness to embrace proper adventure. And believe us, they’re going to need it.
“Twenty four hours after the conclusion of Boot Camp, the organisers will announce the 20 finalists who will take part in Quest itself, which will consist of 12 days and 2500km of life altering adventure riding in the northern parts of Namibia, barely a month later. The participants will compete in ten teams of two riders each and the winning team will each go home with the Honda CRF100L Africa Twin that they competed on!” the statement said.
