Honda - Grip Limited Adventure Awaits Motorcycle Launch
Art Direction Flash Design . Animation . Flash Development
| |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Honda needed to launch a new category of motorcycles in Canada. The first step was to inspire potential riders. Step two was to provide tools to facilitate the adventure motorcycling lifestyle. Step three will be to further evolve this into a community hub for adventure motorcyclists. The result is a content rich dynamic flash experience.
Want to ride atop the Arctic Circle? How about travelling as far east as possible to be the first person in North America to see the sun rise? Need tips on adventure riding? How about downloadable maps of suggested routes from coast to coast? The more you dig the more the site reveals.

In October of 2005 I was contacted by an American Airlines pilot whose wife was a crewmember of one of the planes involved in 9-11. He was planning a bike ride across the USA to raise money to erect a memorial in honor of the 33 fallen crewmembers of the airplanes involved in 9-11. I offered to help by creating a quick website to share information of the ride, give daily updates from the route and to allow donations to the effort.
