They had a motorcycle breakdown in Sudan.

Since then, Elseby and McNus Ullivir from Piki Piki Overland have spent nearly 15 years on the road,

all the while managing to steer clear of

at work? You'll hear how they've avoided everything from mechanical disasters to tense border

situations and the hard-earn methods they use to spot trouble early and steer clear of it.
