Petra @ Motorradgarage (www.motorradgarage.com.au) for sharing their knowledge and going above and beyond to source the best adventure gear the world has to offer. Without Motorradgarage, the bikes would not be able survive some of the punishment expected over a journey of this duration.
Ivan Smoljko @ Bikes Abroad (www.bikesabroad.com.au) for managing the entire shipping process from start to finish. Multiple shipping options, wharf strikes, local pickup and delivery, crate storage, nothing was too much trouble for Ivan, and their service is second to none. Without Bikes Abroad, the logistics of shipping motorcycles (classified as dangerous goods) into various locations would be a nightmare.
World Nomads (www.worldnomads.com.au) for their unparalleled reputation for coming to get you, no matter where you are in the world. No other travel insurer is as 'bike friendly' as World Nomads, and it is an enormous comfort knowing that if disaster strikes, there will not be any excuses or delays - they simply get you back home, fast.
And finally, Jonathon Bradshaw @ the Royal Automobile Club of Western Australia (www.racwa.com.au) for providing significant support in arranging carnet documentation for the motorcycles. Navigating the maze of carnet options and issuing countries proved a challenge for this journey, and Jonathon spent considerable time and effort exploring the most effective (and cheapest) options for the team.
Thank you ...
