Welcome once again to Motos and Friends, the weekly podcast from the editorial team at Ultimate Motorcycling. My name is Arthur Coldwells.
Honda’s much anticipated XL750 Transalp was launched last year at the international EICMA show. Editor Don Williams was rather hoping Honda would bring it to the US, and it seems he’s got his wish. After attending the US launch a few weeks ago, Don gives us his impressions of the exciting new ADV bike that is all Honda.  
In the second segment, I chat with my buddy George Beavers. George and I have ridden together for many years on the street, and he’s also raced the same Southern California tracks as I used to compete on. In this segment, George and I chat about his recently launched Moto California touring company. In September we had the pleasure of attending the dress rehearsal of the kind of touring he’s going to be hosting around the roads in Tuscany. It was truly a dream vacation, and I was excited to hear from George about his plans for the company’s future.
Regular listeners will have heard me wax lyrical about the new Cortech Lite range of gloves that I’ve been wearing for the last couple of months. Well… I twisted the corporate arm, and they kindly agreed to us giving away TEN pairs of the Cortech Lite gloves on our social media pages on Instagram and Facebook.  All you have to do is like the post; follow Cortech; and tag 2 friends in the comments, to be entered into a random drawing. We will contact the winners by DM. This giveaway is limited to US residents only.
Check us out on your favorite social platform for all the details and hopefully you’ll win a pair of Cortech Lites!   
So from all of us here at Ultimate Motorcycling—we hope you enjoy this episode.
