Austin Vince (http://www.austinvince.com)

Holy crap! We’re talking to Austin Vince of Mondo Enduro (http://www.mondoenduro.com) fame. If Ted Simon is the Godfather of Adventure Motorcycling than Austin Vince is… its crazy uncle? Back in 1995, Austin and his pals decided to ride around the world for kicks on some Suzuki DR350s. They chronicled their journey in journal and video. Mondo Enduro was the result! It’s a fascinating movie of a real-world round-the-world trip by “a bunch of guys.” We’ve been angling for this interview for a long long time. If you haven’t seen Mondo Enduro, do so. In fact, just check out everything the man’s done.

Austin is an awesome guest and we’re real fortunate to have him on. Unfortunately, we had to do the interview on a backup box via an overseas Skype call. This will be another show you’ll want to make sure you got a good listening environment for. You know… like at work.

Fortunately, Austin’s sent us some video links:
