You've alluded to a few different things, but I'm wondering, you went into it with a mindset of simplicity, and what things surprised you coming out on the other end?
22:53
What things surprised us? Well, first we planned to travel around Australia with the goal of doing, uh, some of the toughest treks the country has to offer.
23:01
That was the main goal first for six months because we didn't know if we would enjoy, like, thousands and thousands of kilometers of straight roads on these little bikes.
23:11
So, but then we did.
23:12
That was the first surprise.
23:14
We, we absolutely loved it.
23:16
And of course, they were incredibly capable of, um, off-road as well.

How do you think that this experience on two bikes has changed you as people, if at all?
17:57
And therefore, I think this was the reason why we decided we start there again.
18:03
And the reason for the bikes was pretty simple, like especially with our website, I would say in the area of adventure riding, we've got probably one of the bigger German speaking websites.
18:17
And we got many, many emails over the time that people were asking us.
18:24
questions about traveling, how to pack, how to prepare and so on.
18:28
And a lot well was about money.
18:30
And many people would told us, especially younger generations, they just bought the newest bike, the newest gear, but they ran out of money now and can't travel anymore.
18:40
So how would we do this? And then we said, well, just step a little bit back and get a bit cheaper bike and make with the rest of the money, create memories.

When you meet one of these cars, what do the people say to you when they see what you're doing and what you're riding?
