I really LOVE that sentence.yessss...

Well done.

You guys are my f**kin heroes.
Wish I had mates like that.
'buy a second hand bike, some basic tools, get some waterproofs from the tackle shop and get going' got to be my favourite comment. Thanks for posting looked like a real adventure.
In 2020 Suzuki DRs still look the same, and so does Siberia.
Which just proves that it’s never too late.
Don't be too sure about that. Corona has changed the world, and it's not done yet.
I can relate to the guy who started this when i saw him in that depressing office, daydreaming of getting out on the open road. Hats off, he did it!
Not a fan of the music but I really respect these guys. No sponsors, no big show, just doing it.
Well done mates.
This is the real Long way round...hard core!
@Viktor Sligo Careful, your science denying bias is showing.
That’s it, when lock downs over I’m selling everything & going around the world on my bike! 😂 great video!
Count me in.
Also count me in😊
Dude count me in too!
Except my three weeler can’t cope with those type of trips, but hey
So that’s four already, all we need is another 4 people and we can be like those guys! 😂
planning my own similar trip in a year. only a couple thousand dollars and a cheap 250. every time i get down or doubt myself i watch this and it gets me all pumped up again.
Do it man !
so, how's it coming along with the trip?
So John Smith, have you left now ? I'm curious of how is it going for you right now ! Do you have any blog where we can follow you ?
@@quentinborntrager wow i never seen any of these comments. no i never left for a long time (a few small trips in usa and central america). but I totally am in June (starting in vietnam) I promise and I have a channel. sorry i took a good job and was on a contract. only have about 7000 dollars now and will most likely go by bicycle as it is cheaper and easier to cross borders. i should be gone a year
@@quentinborntrager i make videos for a living and my experience is much better now. so i will have a vlog.
This what I respect, this is what I aspire to do tomorrow. This is the real way of living
Great Video! It seems that everybody nowadays that wants to do this think they need a BMW and lots of expensive equipment. Its just totally not true at all. A reliable 250CC bike is and a few clothes is all you need. Its also much harder to cross borders nowadays without having a ton of documents prepared well in advance.
I get that you don't need a 17 thousand dollar bike but what has never made sense to me is people say you don't need money but how can that be? You need enough money to pay all of your bills for 6 months, enough money for another month of unemployment after you get back, money for gas, food, repairs, tires, fairy/shipping of bike over water,and so on and so on. If i'm wrong I would love to hear a way around it. Not bashing, It is a dream of mine to do this but I just don't see how its possible.
@@tomasruiz2649 Totally agree with you. Even with a low CC bike you have to pay for visas and shipping the bike. All these bike trips on youtube only show the best. You never see the average person doing this.
@@marcanthonyskidmore4131 I did it.
@@tomasruiz2649 My advice is to cut every expense you can such as rent, phone, internet, sell your car, other motorcycle, bicycle .... and leave your stuff somewhere (friend house, parents, family). Then buy a cheap reliable bike, do the basic maintenance to learn how it works. Pack the minimum and cheap stuff to be able to stand by yourself like a tent, cooking stuff, 4 underwear, 3 tee-shirt, 2 pants ....
Then travel slow from your country and by motorcycle. Don't take ship or plane. If you are in usa, go to south america. If you are in Europe go to asia or africa .... If you are in england ... well take a boat =D
Then live cheap, sleep in the nature for free, cook for yourself or eat cheap local food and most of all, MEET PEOPLE. That's what make your trip.
Total expenses :
- Motorbike
Forgot to mention that I did this on my bicycle and not a motorbike.
I just got goosebumps listening to all the stuff by these guys. True blue eyed motorcyclists.
The choice of DR350s was absolutely right. I used to have a DR250SH in Tokyo. Brilliant bike.
I bought a DR350 as well, mine was a bitch to kick start though! haha
I have a kick start DR 350 and even with a high comp piston it starts easy.
I nearly bought a dr350se in 1997 in yellow/white/purple brand new (electric start) looked at some older ones and they were really rough
Turned up in my feed after almost 5 years. Absolutely back tot he basics ideas. Very insiprational
Algorithms work in strange ways! `You should check out their full length films.
Yes !! Hard core !! no bling here , respect to you guys ....
Freedom.... as l sit in lockdown.
Know the feeling . . .
priceless.... an adventure of a lifetime. im gonna do this before i get old.
Pure inspiration. Legends these blokes. Have watched Terra Circa no less than ten times! Planning my own mega ride from Asia to Ireland... and I'll be keeping it simple. No BMW 1200 GS for this bloke... more like a 250! lol.
awesome!
go find that spicy 250 and then conquer the world, bro!
+Stefano Morandi Thanks man... I will certainly try! Quite fancy those new Royal Enfield Himalayans... simple, cheap, low tech and rugged. Not a two fiddy, but still small at 400 odd cc. Let the magic begin! lol.
I bought the terra circa DVD while in Iraq, very uplifting and inspirational. I bought a Dr 650 when I returned.
I have Dr also what a great fun bike
Saw him at Stormin the castle in September, what an interesting and very funny bloke,an absolute star.
"You do in Bournemouth." I love Gerald. :D
This video will always be relevant :) this is how life should be lived
great that you got buddies like that..simple cameras ,no computer,drones just simple travel.all people seem to think about now is how many people see what they are up to each day via utube.im with you have toured all over europe for months,no plan and mostly sleeping wild and deff no vloging .great memories and stillmore to come when all this shit gets sorted.
I am a long distance motorcycle rider and I have just seen the best long distance motorcycle video I have ever seen and went for seven and a half minutes :)
Have you seen the original full length Mondo films? They are awesome.
Tough guy with tough bikes.they did mention BEER ...and that really make them REAL BADASS..REAL MAN💪💪💪
Brilliant guys. Great video!
It was so inspiring! I have never even travelled around my country with all these tech! These folks are legends!
I remember watching the original episodes, You guy's along with elspeth beard are a inspiration for motor cycle touring
Какие же вы крутые парни! Дай бог каждому!мысленно с вами!
Mondo enduro is my all time favourite film. Love it. The music is brilliant as well.
Moto icons for sure, they have inspired generations now.
@3:50 back in 2013 I moved to San Francisco. I hadn’t been employed in nearly two years because I was traveling around the world. In my interview everyone were more fascinated about the stories I was telling than what I interviews for. I could tell when I spoke these people that went down the normal path of life wondered “what if I…”. I got the job and was there for three years before heading back to Europe.
I had Mondo Enduro on DVD at one time! What an absolute blast. It had this crazy mix of production values - some serious thought went into the filming and editing but with the equipment and budget it had a home movie feel to that that just made it that much more real. I loved every minute of it. Great to see these two so many years later. Nice post and thanks!
Amazing video! I just love watching adventurers like these guys. While I like the idea of doing an adventure like this, in truth I couldn’t do it. l’m too soft I like hotels with posh restaurants. But I’m jealous as hell of every adventurer doing what I don’t do.
Best of British...love it...need more.
Great trip, lots of healthy envy. A very very interesting adventure
Watched this back in the day,Forget Ewin Magregor&Co,This is the way to go,!🥃😁👍
A buddy and I have older XR650s and we plan to ride from the west coast up into Canada and onver to Nova Scotia. Not a round the world but it will be fun nonetheless.
Sounds amazing. America so good for trippin!
Thanks, love the views of your old dutch Skutjse
Thats the spirit!
Luz Getting Lost
When I were a lad, back in 1989 it were...sorry, I'll drop the cod Yarksheer for the rest of this piece for no other reason than I'm frae Paisley. Anyroad - woops, it's too easy - I had been travelling by a variety of methods beginning in May '88 from Hong Kong but none of them self propelled: ferries, buses and trains across China, Tibet, Nepal and SE Asia. In Oz (Darwin) I picked up a van, for £500, and it became home and transport for the next four months. All pretty standard fair - and when I sold it in Sydney I became a hitchchiker on Ivan Milat's favourite pickup road on my way to Tas.
But a few months and some more hitching in NZ later I pitched up in California in March '89, where hitching was scarier than the Princes Hwy through Belanglo. I bought a 1974 Z1B (£650) from a bike mechanic in Monterey and, without much of a plan, insurance or even a number plate headed off on an explore of the continent in worn out hiking gear, my rucsac bungeed to a cheap rack, with Boston my presumed destination. After a look at the Sierras and their parks, I rode over that big red bridge in the film and into an adventure, up the coast to Vancouver before returning to the Columbia River and turning left (in April, winter made a couple of returns in the following weeks). Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, SD, Minnesota (it was peaceful then), Wisconsin, across Lake Michigan by ferry and the state thereof, into Ontario and out to NY and finally Boston, Mass. For ten weeks I camped most nights, when I wasn't crashing with old pals in Seattle, Shawano and Oakville or thawing out from blizzard riding in the prairies by scoring a $17 motel room here and there. Crossing borders without proper papers, some scary moments in biblical rain, STOP signs that appeared too late for me to react (twice), customs officials who didn't care for my lack of papers for the bike (three times in all), snow that had me pulling the front brake with both hands they were so frozen and a dropped valve that saw me on three cyclinders for a day near Rochester, MN. The folly of youth was my shield for the whole damn trip and I doubt if you'd get away with much of it today. Glad I saw it when I did.
Charlie and Ewan, take note, you rich boys.
That was awesome brothers. That sense of adventure never leaves us !!!!!!
legends
Outstanding!!! 👍
Even just sleeping on the side of the road could get you a ticket/fine in some states in America.. there are several things that would make this a lot harder and less enjoyable nowadays, its definitely still possible but it would take more money and just wouldn't be as fun as back then I'm sure. Great video though! Hopefully one day I can do this.
04:40. Truer words have never been said. It really is that simple...Just waiting for my back tire to come in as I type.
Great video guys definitely know Yuppie bikers here
Fantastic. So enjoyed it. And so true you don't need a Gs KTM etc... I bought in 1987 an mz 250. Still have and use it after 321000 km
That's almost one-third of a million.
This will take some time to sink in.
That is IMPRESSIVE.
Wowwwww
This is proper. This is how it used to be. This is real. This is before that garish GS 1200 and everything else is crap and beneath it current scene. That tv series. 500$ jackets, 400$ helmets, 1000$ boutique, bespoke luggage and all that other 21st century crap you don't really need. These guys went round the world. We did annual 2 week, 3000 mile, Euro runs, on non current, classic air cooled bikes, inc old Brit twins, when everyone thought we were mad not riding the latest Honda.
It can be done.
Spend the money on the journey, not the prep.
And get out there before its too late.
Kudos and congrats to the guys in this movie.
Awesome stuff lads
Brilliant!!
Simply, great! 👍
The OG motovloggers
Sososososooo true!!!
true inspiration loved it 😘
WOW😱 What a journey, Incredible 👍👍
You need spend money on the trip not on the gear !!! Liked it 6:13
thank you
Great video! Totally agree just buy a used bike and go have fun on it I have been doing it for a lifetime! To many companies profit off the motorcycle community just go have fun!!!!
Love this!
nice video story....greetings from croatia
I'm jealous he has 8 friends to be honest 😂
Great ride!
Your DVD's are very hard to purchase online and links don't work anymore. Why don't you make them available to pay per view online?
top videos top book top blokes
Great. Wild to see English people in depths of Russia
0:52
In 1995 there was no Vauhxall Astra II yet. They were introduced in 1998
vicosto what??
Yup, that shot was from Apr 2001, on the Woolwich ferry at the start of the Terra Circa trip. Great spot!
That was so inspiring!
What size and make of bikes did they use ? I’d think they’d all take the same as it’d make it easier . I’m no expert but the bikes look like 500’s . My hat is off to these gentlemen, my best is my to Florida and back 3 times on a 78 cb400 but I had paved highways so I can’t even hold a candle to these guys . Epic journeys made by heroes 👍
These bikes are Suzuki DR 350
Fab video. Loved it. My old c90 is getting ready. Did u do more video's? Did you go to Vietnam
***** love it!😉
I think I read the book several years ago about these friends all ex pupils of Millfield School (or something) and travelled right around the world. One story, if I remember correctly was that they all were invited to the British Ambassador's residence somewhere in South America, but all they had to wear were their motor-cycle leathers!! I seem to remember that even though 8 of them started, only 3 completed the whole circumnavigation?
Sounds like these are you guys... I'll try get Austin to weigh in!
Put the money on the trip, not on the gears....excellent advice.
Aavadle Bhau Applyala..! Mast
Quality
Legends
Fantastic Video and truly inspiring, I remember watching this as a programme back in the day and it was the very reason I got into bikes. Anyone know where to get the full series?
Old bikes will do it all. My choice is the venerable Yamaha XT500.
Respect to true spirit. Nowadays you need to video blog every fukin minute of your trip because "Oh my god, its so amazing!" I started to clean near grassland, where I walk my dogs, public place. Few days later I found out there is viral challenge in internet and people collect rubbish and show pictures online.
Would have been fun to Travel on Motorcycle through Iraq Syria & Afghanistan before the "War on Terror" Marlaky, Now you'd need an 'Armoured Personell Carrier' 😉👍
This is one for the posers with GS,s that only go to the mall on a weekend and a just a status symbol the 2 wheeled fortuners.
Fucking oath, give me a DRZ any day!
have you stop by the philippines sir?
I seem to remember watching the tv documentary on this. XT350s weren't they?
Close, DR350s!
@@makeyourbones Oh yes. So they were/are! I still remember the mini-series being on telly twenty years ago though when I was a London despatch rider. (Didnt one of you discover that a bearing for a Russian tractor was the same one as a Suzuki real wheel one?) Got me all fired up to do something similar too, but sadly...😕. Never say never though!
Cheers
how do you guys deal with your fuel i'm really up to doing that in the futur i started preparing and planning long time ago but i didn't figure out the fuel trick do you take reserves or what thanks for help !
Mehdi Bekkaoui Visit the website he posted.
Generally speaking you only need to make it a couple hundred miles at a time.
I had planned on carrying an extra gallon gas can, with that on the KLR it gave me a 300 mile range.
Carry a couple coffee filters, in rural areas you may want to filter the gas.
Farmers will have gas to sell as well, they often will give it to you, although I do recommend paying it as they are often so poor, they cannot replace easily.
Hvae fun, quit thinking and just go!
Craig Sundberg thank you man !
Can I pay to stream this online? I don't want a DVD as I don't have a working DVD player any more!
Proper.
at the time they did it the bikes were quite new. Misleading tittle
Norris Johnson's lost biking brother!!😀👍👏
Norris not Norris!!!I fuggin hate google spell checker!!I fuggin hate fuggin google tooooo!!!!😬💩
Shit!!!!BORRIS!!!!!NOT FUGGIN NORRISSSSSS!!!!!WTF IS NORRIS?????FUGGIN GOOGLE SHIT HEADS!!! 💩
Great video, great adventure but the background music isn't where it supposed to be (especially when the brothers are talking)...
Serious question, what sum of money would you need to leave with in these current times? Just to pay for essentials like fuel & food? It's got to considerably more than back in the nineties.
Is this available to purchase in a streaming format? We dont have a DVD player and would love to see the whole film?
Do you mean the original full length films? Not sure about streaming, but try hit up Austin here: www.mondoenduro.com/
4:53 😉😁
hahahaaha. Amen to that brother!
What helmets are they fellas? Hard to get a decent openface now days...
Not sure what they use, I have an Arai Freeway which is decent. Not sure if the hipsters would approve as its not an egg shell. haha
Lets have another trip guys 😉😉😉😉😉😉 hardcore shit and no bling !!!!!!
what bikes are these guys on?
+hoggath hogg Suzuki DR350s.
I want to do this. But I don't want to go alone. Not sure where I can find someone to ride through africa.
Sensible blokes using sensible bikes. Spend the money on the trip not the equipment. Great advice.
Should be that simple right?
Yea, people get dragged in by the touratech expensive mods. Really all you need is a decent bike (Japanese in my opinion :)) and a sense of adventure.
I get that you don't need a 17 thousand dollar bike but what has never made sense to me is people say you don't need money but how can that be? You need enough money to pay all of your bills for 6 months, enough money for another month of unemployment after you get back, money for gas, food, repairs, tires, fairy/shipping of bike over water,and so on and so on. If i'm wrong I would love to hear a way around it. Not bashing, It is a dream of mine to do this but I just don't see how its possible.
What bikes did you use?
They all rode Suzuki DR350s.
