MAKING MEMORIES
Kevin and I initially met in the Marines. We have been riding together for a few years, and riding BDRs the entire time. Our first attempt at a BDR was in Utah, where we were completely unprepared and significantly ignorant of our capabilities. It led to some interesting moments conquering Lockhart Basin where we developed our backcountry motto: “Less Gear and More Water.” We document our rides on our YouTube channel, “Be Gone for Good.”

A COUPLE'S GUIDE TO RIDIN 2-UP

She helps to lift the bike after falls and allows me to experience the world and all of its wonders with the one I love. It can also be challenging at times. But, with patience, and maybe a bit of compromise, you and your pillion can be a powerful team able to overcome any challenge.

What Everyone's Been Waiting For 2023 XL750 TRANSALP
Honda's Transalp lineage dates back to the late '80s as the XL600V. We saw the motorcycle only briefly in the U.S., and then it disappeared in the great adventure dual-sport extinction event of the early '90s. Although, some aspects have been carried over from the 700V model, like the large dash area and color options (which we'll discuss later), the all-new platform comes with a host of modern features.
