No you are doing it all wrong and you are probably not enjoying what you do.
Adventure riding is everything supplied and paid for by sponsors, bikes, riding equipment, tools etc. Overcoming difficulties like not being given the bike brand you want. Plus you need a camera man, 4 men in a Toyota 4x4 carrying more spares, tools and tyres. An office team to sort out your finances, visas, inoculations, bike shipping, talking to the media and promoting the trip. Then when you get back you need someone to write the book and publish it and then you’ll be busy with all the personal appearances to go and promote the book and film.
Or you can you can just pay adventure travel company to sort it all out, then you just turn up and ride where they tell you stop where they tell to. They supply the support van and driver and they get to make the book/film and TV program.
At least that’s how I’ve seen it done.
