Celebrating Father’s Day with your Biker Dad
This Father’s Day, showing how much we appreciate our Dads, is something we should put some thought into, given our culture. With this special day coming up, we have a chance to show our tatays more than one way why we appreciate them. And for those dads who happen to be motorcycle enthusiasts, Honda Philippines, Inc. (HPI), the No.1 motorcycle manufacturer in the country offers some suggestions on how to make his day more memorable.
Go on a scenic ride and camping
What does a biker dad love to do other than take his motorcycle and hit the road? One of the simplest ways to celebrate Father’s Day with your dad is to go on a scenic adventure that might segue into camping. It hardly matters what your dad likes to ride.
For example, The New Rebel500’s cruiser design gives it a 690mm seat height with a ground clearance of 124mm and an upright seating position. This makes the bike comfortable if you plan a longer scenic ride, like riding up to Tagaytay or through Marilaque highway. Furthermore, this bike’s front and rear hydraulic disc brakes with 2-channel ABS, front 41mm telescopic forks, and rear Showa Pro-Link suspension offer smooth handling, making it ideal for enjoying the beauty of the open road.
Now if your dad rides the CL500, going on a scenic riding adventure is still appropriate; the only difference is the CL500’s slick scrambler design allows you to do on-road touring. Taking breaks for coffee or merienda along the way can make the journey even more enjoyable and offer a chance to relax and soak in the scenery. Additionally, the bike can accommodate a top box with the right accessories providing ample storage for your trip.
A Father’s Day road adventure is almost an obvious choice for the dad who rides the CBR500R. This sports bike’s 471cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, DOHC, Parallel-Twin engine makes it perfect for an impressive ride on roads like the famous Marilaque or the Taal-Lemery highway. And when you consider its aggressive looks, the CBR500R lets you and your dad go on an adrenaline-filled riding adventure with style!
What if your dad rides the CB500F? Considering this bike is engineered for versatility, it can certainly handle a scenic ride out of the city. This comfortable seating position in combination with front Showa 41mm SFF-BP upside-down forks and rear 5-stage pre-load adjustable mono-shock suspension setup offers outstanding handling capabilities that are ideal for longer rides. More significantly, the bike can accommodate storage like a top box or a rear seat bag. These factors make the CB500F ideal for a riding adventure that will segue into a camping trip.
Moreover, a long ride that turns into camping offers a great chance for bonding. Setting up camp, cooking over a campfire, and sharing stories under the stars can create lasting memories. Bikes like the CB500F have enough storage to carry all your camping gear without sacrificing comfort.
No matter which activity you choose whether this be a camping trip or a simple scenic ride, the key is to make the day special by focusing on what your dad loves most – riding his motorcycle. Adapting your chosen activity to his specific ride, whether it’s a Honda Rebel500, CL500, CBR500R, or CB500F, will show him how much you appreciate his passion and make this Father’s Day truly memorable.
