Yes, I would. Thanks for asking.
I just watched it mate, bloody brilliant. They have some very high tech gear as well as the bikes. Wouldn't we all like to do a journey like that?

This looked so cool I did a little googling, found their site here:
Motology - Australia's core moto website
I sent them an inquiry regarding the videos, and he got back to me, which I thought was nice. His response below.

Hi
The Himalayan DVD was a limited amount attached to Dirt Action magazine. However, the new MotoNomad Film will be made available by retail DVD but I'm still in the process of working out distribution options etc - as well as editing the film first.
Keep an eye on Motology for release dates and details.

Looks cool!
I kind of doubt the "no film crew" part when the camera is moving and both of them are in the shot...or the little part where they're being filmed from a helicopter...

In fact this is the exact unit they used according to their blog.....and yes they carried it all themselves....and apparently crashed the heli more times than the bikes (as per blog).. http://quadcopters.co.uk/xaircraft-x650-v8-version-2-117-p.asp

How in the world do they control the heli while riding their bikes?

that's a good question.....haven't looked in detail to see if the heli cam shows two riders riding at the same time...maybe one filmed and other rode?

They must have had support along the way, just not traveling with them like Long Way Round. In any case, looks amazing.

Just thinking about 7000 miles on a dirt bike, my KTM recommends you change oil every 8 hours.....if they averaged 35miles/hour......200 hours of riding.....25 oil changes. I'm sure they stretched it out a bit further, but all of the preparation, amount of supplies and maintenance needs are just mind boggling. It would be an awesome undertaking though..... life changing.
