  • Alright Ewan and Charlie, time to do the north tip of alaska to the southern tip of south america!

  • Thanks for uploading this, and also on the topdocumentary website. Thoroughly enjoyed this. Have always wanted to travel to Africa. I am now a Charley Boorman fan. :) Both of them are pretty funny.

  • Thank you for uploading the whole series, much appreciated!

    Such good spirited TV is a joy to watch.

  • absolutely wonderful, both series. Better than expected.

  • @kowaxkowas thanks

  • thank you so much for the movie, great

  • What is the song at the end of the clip, when they do the recap?

  • @capinwhitekids its a song called blink by an artist called ben onono.

  • could u plz do the documentary called "by any means" with charley boorman thank you coz i cant find it anywhere on youtube

  • "I'm more concerned about YOU mate, when the adrenaline wears off"

    For all his good spirit throughout the trip, it's so cool to see Dai in his element in emergencies.

  • Charleys Best Wheelie Yet at 6:40 !!

  • agree with people here this is a dream for many of us and its nice to experience it through someone elses eyes because we cant do it ourselves. I'm looking forward to long way up through south america now.

  • Aww, Charley and his ladies. :3 Thanks so much again for the upload, Kowax!

  • I love this documentary, all of us dream about doing something like this one day.

    There're a couple of other films from the 80's I guess, "mondo enduro " and "terra circa". Those guys did an incredible journey, longer, with about 1/4 of the LWD budget and on Suzukis 350cc. without back up trucks!!!!

  • I am in Thailand, on the countryside where there is no tourist industry.

    The people are amazing here.

    Open, friendly, happy, content with life, close family life, sharing,

    they keep giving me food and drinks. I just have to say that if you release fear of other cultures you find we are all the same. And people who grew up poor are very often very healthy and beautiful. I have yet to visit Africa, and I look forward to do it some day. incredible beautiful, amazing, energetic, real people. Love

  • Going on a 4-month overland journey from Cairo to Cape Town very soon...really can't wait! Thank you sooo much for uploading the whole series...had the best time watching it!!!

  • OMG nooo i don't want it to end awh :(

  • 6:48 - Claudio: "Ahh.. helicopter..". Haha. What a true legend.

  • Charley is a nice guy, but he can be a real tit !!!!

  • Russ reminds me of that agent from Flight of the Conchords.

  • This is a stupid accident, and should be a reminder to all of us bikers that even with a lot of experience we still gotta be extremely careful all the time.

  • thanks so much to kowaxkowax for uploading the load way down and long way round series, its been terrific fun! the best television series i've ever watched. thanks mate.

  • you have no idea how much i hate these 2 right now! green with envy! well done guys :) 

  • you have no idea how much i hate these guys right now! i would give my left nut... hell sod it both nuts to be able to do this! EPIC, well done chaps!

  • what is that song playing at @6:26 ? its sounds so cool. Can someone please help me?

  • Where too next guys? South East Asia? Australia? South America? Go from somewhere to London and call it Long Way Back or Long Way Home.

  • They should circumnavigate South America

  • I wonder how claudio films when he is on his bike infront of ewan and charlie.

  • Charlie`s wife is eminently more shagable than Ewan`s annoying bint.

  • Comment removed

  • ahaha claudio always has to get hurt or fell off hahahaha

  • Sometimes Charley acts immature and reckless and it's scary how his eyes pop out when he talks.

  • haha the medic: "im more concerned about you man when that adrenalin wave wears off" :D

  • lol @ the random dude with what looks like a bow and arrow at 2:32

  • putting on a show!!! popping wheelies again alomst took out Claudio!!

  • Thanks so much to Kowaxkowax doin this job for recording and uploading

    this episodes especially LongWayRoung from DMAX/German,

    Thank you and Greetings from Germany/Hamburg

  • My hats off to Claudio. He rode ever mile that Ewan and Charley rode.

  • thank you for posting this series.

  • i would of loved to have been there to see them arrive then ride with them

  • Claudio!!! I love that guy!

  • You guys have to see LWD on DVD there's 10 episodes rather than 6 so there's nearly twice as much content.

  • it was really amazing watching them, someday i will do a ride like this too

  • You know, I sort of liked how the production crew was more involved in this one. They have a good story, too. Eve's interference was upsetting but only because she is such a foreign element, not cause she's a woman, blah, blah. She's just not into it like them. I've seen some stuff about them doing another one and I really hope they do. It would be awesome if they came through Chicago again! Anyway, now that its over, I don't know what to do with myself. I've been engrossed in this show!

  • Ty for the upload Kowa....nice to see it again...still prefer long way round....for me claudio was amazing to film and ride and keep a sense of humour.

    She spoilt it but c'est la vie....I would so love to do any of their trips...oh well...

  • Thanks for uploading mate

  • Not as epic as LWR but still an awesome trip, thanks for showing me this.

  • I absolutley love this entire series :D i have been addicted to it the past few days!! thank you sooooo much kowaxkowax for posting this :D best series ever! cant wait to watch long way round because i haven't seen it yet and really looking forward to Long Way Up :D thanks again! <3

  • I loved the show and TY for posting it but I am so sad how different Charlie was with Ewan after Eve left :( If you really watch it they never really talk to each other after that and at the campfire their body language is so distant! They do talk at Betty's hill but it feels like an act for the camera and at the end they don't hug and celebrate like they did on LWR.....Eve really did spoil this one, I don't blame Ewan it is his wife but she should have let them have their adventure.

  • omg these is one of the fucking best ducumantairy i have seen! would love to see them return some day!

  • thank you for posting that great series!

  • Thanks a lot for posting this Kowaxkowax, it's been an amazing series!

  • i always laugh when i hear Claudio swearing with a light german infuence in his accent. Fuck! Shit!

  • If you like this, watch Mondo Enduro by Austin Vince. Great motorcycle trip!

  • Claudio needs to get more credit for what he has composed here. Imagine where he had to go and what he had to do to get the shots he took - high shots of corners, close-ups of muck and mud, etc. Really a talented and dedicated cameraman.

    And his last crash wasn't his fault, either, it would seem.

  • They should definately do a long way up and I think it might be best to start in South America than wrok their way up as far north as they can through Canada.

  • what is the song playing during the montage of the trip? very melancholly but so right. I quite like it.

  • Could anyone please give me the name of the song at 7:19

  • Africa touched us too Dave. LWR and LWD are the most amazing programs/films ever made. They bring out such a feeling of passion for the world and for motorcycle adventure. No doubt i'll be back to watch again.

  • "charley... southaflerica" lol

  • charley became quite a wheeley master on that heavy bmw :) he is got some skills :)

  • THAT IS SO TRUE.. the last part of your journey is the most dangerous. ESPECIALLY on a motorcycle where concentration is 100% of the time all important.. I read somewhere that like 40% of all accidents (i think on bikes) happen within like 10 miles of where the person lives.

  • @speedee911 Can't agree more on this point. I remember a trip I did once, for the last leg of about 600miles but because of some minor problems, the 8hr (at the most) journey turned into almost 20hrs. I was fatigued but still kept pushing as I knew I was so close to home. I reached back with my eyes barely being able to open. That was the last time I allowed myself to get into such a situation.

  • Charlies wife seems like the perfect wife to have, hes definately out performed Ewan on that one ;)

  • Ollie seems such a fab wife and mum. so supportive and just great.

  • Well the 4th or 5th time I've watched this, and every time I feel sad when it ends. Love this series more than I can say, its so inspirational and really brings together whats truely importent. I feel like I was there along with them for the whole thing, which is what makes this such a pleasure to watch. Il be back in a few months to watch again. Can't wait for the new one :-) Thanks for posting.

  • o my god this series i watched in 2 days , it's so awsome .. wanna do the same with my bike !

  • well done, boys... proud of u ;)

  • Is this the end? (

  • well done everyone,well done..that's a cracker(",)

  • fan"fuckin"tastic, thank you so so much for uploading this.

  • Amazing documentary! Thank so much for posting it! I read the book, and it was a joy to be able to watch this afterward. This was so wonderful in bringing the culture of Africa to the rest of the world. I love Charley and Ewan!

  • this is the Best documentary i have ever seen. bar none.

  • I can't thank you enough for posting this whole show as well as the "long way round"- do you know if anyone has posted Charley's show "by any means" where he travels from country to country by local means? I'd love if anyone had a link. These 2 series have been really touching and inspiring - my husband and I were just riveted throughout. THANKS AGAIN!!!

  • What is the song that starts around 7 min mark?

  • @doggie101171 blink by ben onono

  • Is it true ewan & charlie had sex with hookers thats why they were a couple of hours late getting in to the welcoming party?

  • Love Charley's wife

  • So did they think South Africa was beautiful, too? They didn't talk about South African culture or people at all. WTF?

  • @kurisutokaochan same as the English/Australian really mate,nothin to talk about...its not really African in the sense of the word...

  • I hope when I have a family it's as amazing as Charlie's!

  • almost wept at 6:45 or so when they ride in formation.. so god damned mighty to expericnce the fellowship with fellowbikers!

  • @sy97cri hell yeah, one of the coolest feelings ever. wish i was there!

  • thanks for posting the whole show!

  • Hahahha. It says "Wimpy" behind them at 1:01 when Charley is saying "We've got so long to go." HAHAHA.

  • @photohunter87 : Yes, Wimpy Bars are a chain of fast-food outlets, know especially for their scrumptious breakfasts!

  • Poor Claudio, he can never get a break!

  • This is the best thing you could ever watch! I want to do that, i feel like africa has touched me just by watching this.

  • @bfmv580 If that's the case, I would get tested for HIV.

  • I can go as close as to Ewan by buying his perfume :(

  • this documentaries make you wanna jump on your bike & ride forever,but then you come back to reality, you go out for a 2 hour ride...and your back for dinner time. XD

  • I love seeing charlie reunited with his wife and little girls. Freakin' Heartwarming

  • love this sound track!

  • where is the rest of it?

  • It was an awesome journey but i think to do it on my own without the support from the cars it would take you about 4-6 month`s i think. A really great trip from both of them!! Good job guys!!

  • watched both series, and I am fucking speechless... can't write any comment.

  • not better than long way round and imho also less adventures, still worth watching, 5 stars!

  • i havent watched long way round !! where are they traveling? around the whole world? :D

  • london-NY

    so, yes :)

  • hehe yeah ive watching it now !!!

    btw do u know if they are making a new documantary ?

  • @ThrashAnthems. yes they are making a new one. called Long Way To Go. should be good, they are starting in may some time. hope i helped :)

  • hehe thanks !!!! yeah i cant wait!!! :D

  • Thank you! This is Great!

  • watcht from 1-1 to now and i have to say i will do it too whit my dominator 650ccm

  • Amazing trip, would love to have followed them, Both LWD and LWR are good but D was rushed to much. I would like to do something similar but im not a rider yet but have been loking at the Varadero 125 it looks the part but think will be ok for learner. Hope to see the guys do more trips maybe Canada to Peru or something similar.

    :-) good to see so many people have follwed the Guys.

    From Perth Scotland

  • tks man..... i really enjoyed the series.... you did a great jow uploading the videos...

    Tks again.. greetings from Chile, Southamerica

    ALF

  • LWR is better in my opinion just so much more exciting alot less rushed i only really got into this one in the 6th episode lol i think when they do the next theyl probably make it longer because i dont thik they liked being rushed

  • thankyou so much kowaxkowax!!!!! your a true legend!

  • Theres a documentaray featuring Charlie again with Dave travelling through europe towards India and down to Sydney if you were wondering but no bikes this time as they use whatever tarnsport they can find such as train, car, lorries, elephants and whatever. its called By Any Means look it up well worth watching!!!

  • Who's the other rider with them? From 2:29 to 3:35... he's in black with a gotee. He is also in vid 5-3 @ 5:34 and he's on a LWD bike. And it's not Claudio.

  • Comment removed

  • OMG, I absolutely loved this trip!!! Is was sooo amazing and I can't get enough of Charley's and Ewan's humor ... LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

  • great great show , shows the big picture that in the end we are all human beings. if they make another i will be watching god bless all !!

  • I loved this and LWD. Very watchable. Informal style made you feel you were there with them. Gotta thank Kowaxkowax (mind if I call you "Twin-ax", sorry electronics joke)for posting this I tried the official sites and they weren't working for me. Some moments; when that American kid nearly wiped out Obi Wan, (can you imagine him telling his mates?) and in both shows. "Daddyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!" choked me up. Good to publicise Unicef too. Wish I could take 3 months off and go round the world. lucky B's

  • @borlani dude this IS lwd. lol. did you watch the wrong ending? the other one goes on for aaaages.

  • @purklefluff Mabey he is talkignabout the new one thay are planning from south america to north america.

  • @borlani that kid that hit ewan was canadian

  • @borlani the kid was canadian

  • @borlani that kid was canadian

  • Aww, it's over. sniff sniff :(

  • Very good! Took awhile for LWD to get going, and for me to really enjoy it. LWR was a better watch for me. I didn't like how the support crew was always RIGHT there in LWD. I loved the solitary feel of three guys on bikes with nobody in sight which LWR gave.

    That said. Both are a great watch!

    If they are coming as far north as Vancouver in their next journey I'll try and join them for a leg!

  • Cape town is beautiful :o

  • big shout to kowaxkowax for this one. Ive read the book now watched the journey. Classic!!!

  • It reminds me how poorly I am living! :(

  • They should go to Nepal, Tibet, India, China etc

  • Yeah man! i think deep south east asia would be awsome, as will south america though ;)

  • China is such a bitch about that sort of thing though. No off-road but they can always come to Taiwan! :D

  • i allways feel sad at the end of watching this and long way round cant wait for long way to go

  • Thanks Kowax, what an amazing trip. That was great!!

  • The should so do Long Way Up, go from chilli in south america, to the very top of canada And let me come with them.

    has to be the best TV series ever, gutted iv seen them all now

  • They're gonna do it next year, read the end of the Long Way Down Wiki page.

  • So they are! Thanks for pointing that out, Cant wait to watch it

  • That was magic..

    Really hope there more documentaries like that...
