McGregor: The Long Way Hound?

Oh no, not more motorbike TV from Ewan McGregor.  The first one was passable but the follow up was rotten.  And as for Charlie Boorman's subsequent stuff - what a steaming pile of shit.

Couple o' fannnies.

COULD BE A LOT WORSE HE COULD HAVE TAKEN HIS MISSIUS AGAIN.

SERIOUSLY, I THINK MCGREGOR AND BOORMAN HAVE OPENED SOME OF US UP TO THE FACT, THAT THERE IS MORE TO BIKING THAN SHOOTING DOWN TO YOUR LOCAL CAFE OR PULLING A WHEELIE.  IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW HOW MANY BIKERS WHO SLAG THEM OFF HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A 100 MILES AWAY FROM WHERE THEY LIVE. I FOR ONE GET ON MY TRUSTY STEAD (GSX 1400) AND HEAD OFF INTO EUROPE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR, MY MILAGE HAS GONE FROM 2500 MILES AYEAR TO ABOUT 8000 AND I'AM LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT. ANYWAY WHO WOULDN'T SWOP PLACES WITH THEM, RIDING YOUR BIKE AND GETTING PAID FOR IT. COME ON!!

Bloody right you are, Mr. Slow. I reckon that those who slag 'em off are just jealous. I know I am, but at least I admit it. If anybody's willing to pay me, I'd go round the world on my Kawasaki Z750 in the blink of an eye...

Any offers?

Not many of us have the resources to stop work, rent offices in West London, hire permanant staff to sort visa's and other travel arrangements, then get BMW to supply three brand new GS's and finally set off with two support trucks full of doctors, security staff and "local fixers", who, no doubt, ease border crossings with bagfuls of backsheesh.

Therefore none of their "adventures" are particularly relevant to most of us.

Mondo Enduro would be more like it. Talking of which, anyone catch Austin and Lois in the latest VD? What's with the boiler suits, Austin?
