I don't think that they saw Mondo Enduro or Terra Circa. If they did they did not get it.
The film was the goal, the book was to accompany it.
Consider their backrounds. Film, big budget.
An Epic Journey must have the best equipment, two or three of everything. Nothing must be left to chance.
Then just like Hollywood someone else will supply the money and equipment.
As the number of motorcycle world travel books increse so will the demand for films of these travels.
Did they profit from the film and the book enough to have other investors outfit them for another trip ?
I had never heard of them before the film came on TV. Are there any other actors who could or should do this ?
