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?
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).. XAircraft X650 V8 version 2 - Quadcopters.co.uk

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.
Ahhhhh good point....and the talk about oil changes and maint in the website.....they ran the crsp out of them and they kept going....just dont be buying their used bikes

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