Welcome to the Motos and Friends Podcast. This adventure-filled episode is brought to you by the 33rd annual Biketoberfest® rally that takes place in sunny Florida, October 16th through the 19th.

Yes…in this adventure-focused episode, our first segment has Don Williams telling us all about the 2025 Honda XL750 Transalp. Honda have made some changes to the bike for this year and it’s now a little more off-road focused. For under ten thousand dollars the Transalp is a lot of bike for the money, and Don tells us exactly what’s changed and how it affects the kind of terrain you’ll want to tackle on this machine.

Now if there’s one adventure you really won’t want to miss it’s the upcoming Biketoberfest rally in Daytona Beach, Florida on October 16th through the 19th.  This episode we take a few minutes to chat with Lori Campbell-Baker, Brian Bentley, and Andrew Booth from the Daytona Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau. Biketoberfest is all about the beautiful Florida weather, live music, the industry’s top vendors, bike shows, and motorcycle racing at Daytona International Speedway. And don’t forget, there are miles of spectacular rides along the famous A1A, the historic Main Street and the Ormond Beach Scenic Loop. You should also know about the Harley Dream Giveaway… Tickets are available to win a Harley-Davidson Road Glide ST and a Ford F-250 Harley-Davidson edition from Teddy Morse’s Daytona Harley-Davidson. So there really is something for everyone here, even families, and almost every event and attraction is free to attend. So if you want a fun few days out in the Florida sunshine, Biketoberfest really is the place to be.
