Overview

The journey started in September and finished on 14 December 2019. They were accompanied by the same key team members from Long Way Round, and Long Way Down, including directors of photography Jimmy Simak and Claudio Von Planta, and producers Russ Malkin and David Alexanian. They rode Harley-Davidson LiveWire electric motorcycles manufactured by Harley-Davidson that had been converted into adventure bikes.[3] In February 2020, Ewan McGregor confirmed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon that his support crew contained two Rivian R1T PickUp trucks.[4]
