What does it take to complete this challenge?
Taking on these challenges are a work of passion for us. Taking months or even years to plan, buying motorcycles and spending countless hours customizing and upgrading parts and of course taking time away from our families and work to complete these missions.
We always use these adventures as a tool to raise money for charities close to our hearts, but we do rely on help from our friends and community to be able to complete these challenges.
How can you help today?
On this page are links to gear we would need as well as a donation page that will help us to accomplish our goal.
If you know anybody in the motorcycle industry that would be excited about sponsorship in any way especially for riding gear, technology etc, please reach out to us.
Thank you
Mark & Jorik

Being able to capture and share this adventure is a must for us. Sharing the countless views and challenges that we will face, the people and cultures that we will pass through, especially as a photographer is one of my driving forces behind this challenge.
-
Safety and comfort over 5000 miles is a must. We will encounter varied terrain and weather conditions and being protected from falls, accidents, rain and heat is not a luxury, it’s an absolute necessity.
-
Our goal is to raise as much money as we can for our selected charities.
We would welcome any donations that will help us accomplish our goals and time on the road.
