[8Libertine8]

Is this a video series i can buy?

[bravo142]

Nice video.

How much did all of this cost you? I'm thinking of doing the same.

[bikingforbarnardos]

@bravo142 Best of luck to you in your own adventure. Your talking £12,000 on the cheap side of things but that includes cost of bike etc

[bravo142]

@bikingforbarnardos Thanks guys for the inspiration.

[TheLittleWorldofGaz]

@bikingforbarnardos how much were the bikes?

[waynep1200]

Great Stuff. Thanks for taking the time to send me a DVD through. Looks like you a had a right laugh. Would even say its better than The Long Way Round. Thanks again. You should do a book.

whats the hardest thing about travelling around the world on a bike? crossing borders? finding spare parts?

[bikingforbarnardos]

@dutto75man @dutto75man

HEY dutto! Its a tough question as i think its very specific to the person; it can be as simple as missing home or not eating the things you like. Borders were a pain at times but nothing a little money couldn't solve. Spare parts could be a major headache so best to have a good idea of what you may need and take them with you

[dutto75man]

@bikingforbarnardos and how much did it cost you guys to do it roughly? Did you spend more time in motels or more time camping?

[doverbiker]

Dave,

Thanks for sending on the DVD as promised, it was a great watch, it made my day, no i really enjoyed it fella, you and Kurt obviously enjoyed the highs and sometimes experienced the low's of what is arguably the adventure of a lifetime! i am truley jelous of your trip, but quietly i am planning my own, and i will be in touch for a pointer or two. It is amazing and you both should be proud of your un-supported and completed global adventure. Well Done to you both, much respect.

Buena musica, buenas imagenes...un sueño....

[Darmalewis]

Very, very, very expensive experience :)

[88greenmachine]

What models were the bikes, and if they were not the same, which stood up to the abuse the best?

[bikingforbarnardos]

@88greenmachine The bikes were V-Strom 650x model. They were both the same and were reasonably good overall. Tyre issues and a few damages that we caused ourselves. Only thing notable was one of the bikes clutch packed in at one point and needed a new one

[bikingforbarnardos]
