Sponsors

OVERLAND JOURNAL

The premier American magazine devoted to vehicle-based expeditionary activities around the world, will be covering the trip.

motogadget

Suppliers of custom bike electronics, motogadget of Germany provided a remarkable device, the m-unit, which is the digital control center for the motorcycle. It replaces fuses, circuit breakers, relays and flashers - all in a single immensely tough unit the size of a cigarette pack, with diagnostic LEDs and shut-off protection.. Additionally it integrates an alarm, hazard warning lights, modulated brake lights and self-cancelling flashers.. The result is a simplified wiring system using less wiring (and smaller gauge wiring). Lighter, yet tougher.

Grecycle of Tucson

Grecycle is a Tucson-based manufacturer of biodiesel. Grecycle is the first company in Arizona to obtain National Biodiesel Board (NBB) approval to sell biodiesel. Grecycle has been a member of the NBB since 2005. Grecycle uses only yellow grease from Arizona based restaurants, cafeterias and food companies to make its biodiesel. Because a "used" feedstock is all we process, no food crops are involved for making this cleaner burning alternate fuel. Grecycle of Tucson is sponsoring this trip with financial support and their B100 product!
