I don't care how good he is, Charlie has balls for waving to the woman passing by in the start of this one. I also can sympathize with Ewan a bit, one of my best mates the guy I most often go off adventuring with (nothing like this) grew up on dirt bikes and was allowed a street bike a few years before me, and he's just so much more sure of himself in situations where I'm much less, I end up having the same downers that Ewan has at around the same times for many the same reasons.
I love seeing all the 70-series Land Cruisers in these videos. Such rugged trucks they are. Too bad we don't get them here in the North American market...
I love Ewan's rant from like 2:00-4:00... just cracks me up because it's always a relief to have a good blast about everything that's pissing you off...
@JonathanEkholm Nevermind, I did a little research and found it. It's called Semi-Automatic by The Boxer Rebellion and you can find it here on YouTube. Great video by the way, and a thumbs up to the uploader:)
Love the part when we hear ewen just complaining the whole time. :D i hate to read comments about charley and ewen complaining too much. come on!. they just need to get a little air out. it's not that they gave up because of it. sometimes is freaking liberatating to just fuck of a little. its easier to carry on afterwards...
The 1200GS are actually 30Kg lighter than the 1150GS. Can't remember the weight difference for the Adventure models. Also the 1200GS (being the first BMW R series) no longer has a sub frame like the 1150GS so the bikes now (in theory) should be able to take a little more punishment in terms of luggage loading.
The Long Way Round bikes were GS1150's... so the new bikes are 50cc bigger, and I imagine, in very BMW touring fashion, any weight savings were probably lost due to more accessories. Still amazing bikes
I think Ewan is such a good guy,partly,because he is from small place from Scotland were people are not so spoiled like in big cities.His parents live there and he spend lot of free time there,so always surrounded with normal people and never forgets where he comes from.
I kinda think Claudio is the real hero of the trip. He's travelling the same miles and terrain and filming the whole damn thing nearly making you forget he's there working.
@SMSBJM1981 That's a techie's job. I don't disagree with you really, I think they are all heros for doing these trips, for showing us places its not likely we'd see otherwise. The techie is being paid to support the actors, he signed on to do exactly what he's doing. I've seen a lot of comments critisizing (not yours) Ewan and Charlie for how they treat Claudio, but they forget that he is getting paid to do Exactly what he's doing - and if he had a problem with it, he wouldn't have come back.
I bet with all those miles offroad on a big heavy 1200 with all there gear in the panniers too, these guys would be fucking good at offroading on a smaller bike, like a KTM 450 or something. They'd find it easy as anything.
i was never really a fan of ewan before i watched long way round and down. not as in i didn't like him i just never really cared for him at all. after seeing long way round i realized he's a laugh riot haha. great show 5/5 stars.
Yeah, I remember thinking in that last part about Dunblane. When I was a kid, the family used to have dinner there about once a month at the Four Ways restaurant. Anyone remember that one? So innocent then.
agreed, and i feel like a lot of superstars try and get involved with organizations just to help their fame, but you can tell that ewan and charley do it from the bottom of their hearts.
@tecna64 Don't be so sure. I was reading the LWR and LWD books. Remember studios funded the first show for under a million dollars. Ewan has easily at least 10 million. You're telling me he couldn't pay 1 million to make one of these shows?
he might have 10 million but he's more down to earth then like paris hilton who didnt do shit to get her money, she herited it and she's like im rich everyone but me sucks, and ewan aint like that, charley might no be so rich but still he also is a nice guy i never said that he sucked or anything
I don't care how good he is, Charlie has balls for waving to the woman passing by in the start of this one.

A big thing about Long Way Round was the huge BMW bikes. They've hardly talked about the BMW R1200GS's at all. Were they lighter?
