Biketoberfest 2015 - Honda Scooters Cebu Rides Again

Biketoberfest is Cebu's biggest motorcycle event. It is an annual event that promotes what genuine and passionate motorcycling is to the public. It is a three-day event and now on it's 7th year. This was held at the same venue as the previous years at the Cebu IT Park grounds. I heard that this will be the last year that it would be held there because Ayala (the owner of IT Park) has other plans for the ground.

Biketoberfest is organized by Star Touring and Riding Association - Chapter 2301 and their partner for this year is again the Feed the Children Program, serving free meals and giving school supplies to underprivileged children from different barangays. The event featured talks, fun competitions, raffle of prizes, product presentations, live bands, Biker Babe Pageant and many more. Speaking of raffle, they gave away 4 motorcycles this year unlike in the previous years where 3 motorcycles were given. One of the raffle prizes was a brand new Gen-S Honda Beat FI from Vismotor Corporation.

Just like last year, Honda Scooters Cebu had a Biketoberfest Unity Ride using the same route that we travelled last year, from Cebu City to Balamban and Toledo, then rode to Naga City and back to Cebu City.

Honda Scooters Cebu was originally composed of 3 clubs composed of the 3 different scooters of Honda, Cebu Beat Riders (Honda Beat), Zoomer X Club Cebu (Zoomer X) and the Cebu Scoopy Club (Scoopy) but this year, Honda released it's latest and most advanced scooter in its line-up, the Honda Click-i and a new club was born, Cebu Click-i Club. Now, Honda Scooters Cebu is composed of the 4 different scooter line-ups of Honda.

As always, we started the to meet at our infamous meetup location in Lahug, Cebu City, Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) Office. We gathered from 6AM to 8AM. Our ride off was 8AM.

Biketoberfest 2014 - The Nascency of Honda Scooters Cebu

On October 24 to 26, 2014, Cebu celebrated the grandest and most-awaited bike festival of the province, the 6th Annual Biketoberfest initiated by Star Touring and Riding Association. This year's slogan was "Go for a ride, carve the classic path, star keeps rolling on the road.". This 3-day event was joined by a lot of clubs of Cebu City and nearby towns/cities and even joined by solo riders. It was held at the IT Park, Salinas Drive, Lahug, Cebu City. A lot of big bikes like Harleys and Ducatis, customized bikes and also the popular smaller cc-ed bikes attended.

In line with this activity, 3 Honda scooter clubs of Cebu decided to form a single group to unite all Honda scooters, Beat, Scoopy and Zoomer-X. The 3 clubs, Cebu Beat Riders, Cebu Scoopy Club and Zoomer-X Club of Cebu formed into Honda Scooters Cebu. Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI) and Honda Motor World, Inc. (HMW) also never failed to support the 3 clubs, as always and so, they decided to initiate a ride for the Honda Scooters Cebu, the first ever. The proposed route was Cebu City-Balamban-Toledo-Naga and back to Cebu City via Minglanilla and Talisay SRP.
