Press Release: Honda Motor Southern Africa
Congratulations to the winners of Honda Quest 2021: Ruan Ueckermann & Neil Rieck.
The winners were announced at a victory ceremony held on November 10, 2021 at Kaleo Guest Farm. The champions were ‘crowned’ by Yuishi Fukuda, President of Honda Motor Southern Africa.
This year’s pairs were particularly strong and the 7 teams got a taste of some of the most breathtakingly beautiful landscapes in South Africa whilst putting their riding skills to the test.
Just 9 days before the final event, the 14 contestants were strangers; polite and formal around each other. But within a very short period of time, no one would have believed that they had just met. It wasn’t the dust and travel grime that made them gel so well; rather, it was the adventure journey that had irrevocably changed them.
The final tally of the adventure was very close amongst the heroic group; however, Ruan and Neil’s infectious energy, ability to approach every challenge with a smile and unwavering consistency both on and off the bike saw them richly deserving of their grand prize the Honda Africa Twin motorcycles which they competed on.
