- Description: Kevin Sanders (born 14 October 1964, London) and Julia Sanders née Powell (born 1966, Sheffield) are an English motorcycling couple who hold two former Guinness World Records. They met while backpacking in South America in 1997 and married in Cusco, Peru, in 2001. In 2002, riding two-up on a BMW R1150GS, they circumnavigated the world in 19 days, 8 hours and 25 minutes, covering 31,319 km (19,461 miles) across 12 countries and four continents. In doing so, they beat the previous Guinness World Record set by Nick Sanders in 1997 by 12½ days, and also surpassed the existing car record by 1 hour and 50 minutes. In 2003, riding a BMW R1150GS Adventure, they completed the Trans Americas route from Deadhorse, Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina - about 27,357 km (17,000 miles) - in 35 days, breaking the previous record by more than 12 days. Guinness World Records no longer certifies these categories, so these records cannot be challenged as Guinness titles under the current system
