Honda Gen-S Pride Ride Cebu

"Maayong Udto riders!"

Honda knows how to have fun.  It was so evident in the last Pride Ride which was held in Caliraya, Laguna (Luzon) that a Visayan leg must happen and it did.  The riders, including me (especially me), are thankful to Honda Philippines, Inc. for bringing the Honda Gen-S Pride Ride to Cebu.

Three guys from Luzon are supposed to join the Cebu but unfortunately Mr. Gilbert Chao had an eye accident that led to an infection causing him to miss this event.  Ms. Donna Alo and I boarded the plane bound for Lapu-lapu Cebu.

Honda Convention Visayas Leg 2016

Foregrounding the riders is the all-new Honda CBR150R.  Honda Philippines, Inc. president Mr. Daiki Mihara, and assistant vice-president for customer service operations Mr. Tomoaki Watanabe took the opportunity to get upclose and personal with the riders for a photoshoot.

A thousand-strong Honda riders gather up at the Hoops Dome in Lapu-lapu City in Cebu to join the festivities of the Honda Convention Visayas leg.  This is in response to the clamor of the people of one of the most historic places in the country to have their own Riders' Convention.  And Honda obliges.

Officially starting the event, was the presence of Koko Tadachi, one of the youngest and fiercest motorcycle rider in the land today, who is a podium-finisher in the 2016 Asia Dream Cup.  A little inspiration talk to get the riders pumped up for the day ahead.
