The first episode follows Buck and Amy, an expat couple living in Beijing, planning and embarking on an epic journey through one of the world's largest and most diverse countries. They travel to the south of China to pitch the executives of Chinese motorcycle company to sponsor their journey, team up with a local charity, visit an old Manchu summer retreat, take a motorboat into North Korean waters, and experience a major mechanical malfunction. And that's all just within the first 10 days!
This is currently the only episode produced from the nearly 100 hours of footage taken during the trip. The pilot was a labor of love, self-financed, and worked on with the help of friends over the course of nearly 6 months. To find out more about what happened on the journey, we invite you to check out our website where you can learn more about the trip or buy a copy of our book.
Finally, if you or someone you know might be interested in helping us to produce the rest of the series, we'd love to chat more! Feel free to get in touch on our website.

Thanks Vivek! Glad you liked it. We were actually shopping this around to see if anyone would pick up the show and help us produce the rest of the series. Unfortunately, that never happened but in the years since the book was finally finished and published which seemed like as good an excuse as any to finally be able to share this with people :)

May I know where to get a motorcycle? By renting or buying a second-hand?
@buckperley2672
@buckperley2672 5 жыл бұрын
Difficult to answer really as it depends on your preferences, amount of money you're willing to spend, and risk profile. Buying second hands or new if you can afford it is usually a good way to go though! Renting is kind of split into really low end 100cc bikes that are pretty old and unreliable or extremely expensive luxury bikes like KTM, Harley, or BMW that probably isn't worth it. In most cases, buying second hand and then selling it after you're done with your trip will be most cost-effective.

Thanks! We're doing well, moved to the US a few years ago. It was a lot of work dealing with the footage. Basically 1-2 hours of work every night unloading the footage, recording diary entries, labeling and recording everything so we can search it later. I like to think the work paid off though!
