Mondo Enduro, where are they now?
Just finished watching M.E. again and I cant help wondering where all the guys are now (Austin Vince excluded).
Are they still making long distance bike trips or did they have their fill of motorbikes and travelling after M.E.?
And the bikes? did they just end up in some scrap yard or did they sell them or maybe they kept them as a reminder of their epic trip?
Answers on a postcard please.

Interesting Question!
I'd like to know what these guys are up to also!
What's the chronology on these films? Did Mondo Enduro come first? Then
Terra Circa? I'm thinking Terra Circa came second, if so was it the same group of riders?
Neither film are widely known or distributed in the US. Shame, I've seen part of Terra Circa. Brilliant and fun!

Mondo Enduro came first, that and Terra Circa are probably the 2 best travel dvd's I've ever seen.
As far as I know all the lads are alive and kicking and Gerald Vince was at the HU Ace cafe meet a while back, some of the others turn up and ride at the Pyreknees-up held in July, and I believe the member that married the Columbian girl is still happy and living over there, and at least some of the DR's are still running!
