| 0:00.0 | Three guys that live in Australia, Nevin Whitper, Ben Whitper, and Mike Beaton, two brothers and a friend. |
| 0:07.0 | They met through a common interest, motorcycles, of course, adventure riding, and over the years they began to ride together and they sort of refined their |
| 0:13.8 | ride into a type of machine. Now I say machine because they plan their rides with |
| 0:20.0 | the precision of a well-oiled machine. |
| 0:22.5 | Everything from route planning on a phone app that they all carry to repair gear and parts, who |
| 0:26.8 | carries what, no redundancy that isn't required, the correct amount of fuel and water |

| 0:59.4 | And before you think this is going too far, |
| 1:02.4 | you have to realize it works for them. Now to give you an idea the adventure |
| 1:06.1 | portion of the trip that we're about to talk about is called the Gibb River |
| 1:09.6 | Road. Now it's up in Northern Australia. That's about 3,000 kilometers or about |
| 1:14.9 | 1800 miles from their home and I think by the end of the trip they end up doing |
| 1:19.6 | around 8,000 kilometers which is somewhere I think just shy of 5,000 miles in about three weeks time. |
