Anyway, moving on.....

Look, i'll get straight to the point. I'm sure Charlie and the other fella are nice chaps, but at the end of the day they were on an extended luxury package holiday rather than an expedition
Ex-SAS trooper as bodyguard cum cameraman
Doctor travelling with them
Brand spanking new bikes
Fixer to meet them at difficult borders to sort out any problems
Off road skills training, remote first aid training and SAS training on how to cope with an ambush situations.
Luxury hotels
Large workshop plus office with numerous staff to organise logistics
Large 'Snap On' freebe tool kit, even though it's quite obvious they don't know what to do with them
No doubt this will invite the inevitable "oh you're just jealous " response. Not at all. Would I say no to the same? Don't be daft, but I would then keep the bikes and then go on a proper adventure.
