Long Way Round 1 - 1

[godgrant123]

fuck, what way are these sorted cus i'm confused lol, episode 1 is like mixed into 2 :( and missing 3

[scofer1873]

Does anybody know if this is the extended cut version?

[TheCaptainCozmo]

Did he just say "turned on"

[AngryAnt0]

Ewan and Charlie have alot to answer for.. This came out when I was 16, soon as i turned 17 I bought myself a motorbike and been riding ever since (and loving it). I owe that all to this show.. So I need to either thank them, or hate them :p. I'mma going to go with thank, currently.

[zithembe]

i SOOOO wanna go and travel the world!!!...they are so lucky, i gonna explore eastern Europe the moment i'm out of college!!!

thanx 4 the upload. x

[foook111]

Literally these guys are living my ultimate fantasy, worldwide motorbike trip, with your mate.

[opmike343]

@foook111

And having someone like Ewan's budget would do amazing things for peace of mind. If I were to encounter any MAJOR mechanical issues with my bike on a tour, I'd be screwed. I'm sure Ewan could afford to have another R1200 or something shipped out to him if he totally trashed his current ride. I'd love to do some world touring, but I don't have the time or the money...

[foook111]

@opmike343 Well neither do I, hence why I said the word "fantasy"

[banesu1]

who are those 3 morons????

[gabishmabi]

kowaxkowax...I FUCKING LOVE YOU.

[Morthund]

boorman...apt name

[doddsalfa]

You don't burn Italian rubber.

[fipplepop123]

got sun on my face , sleeping rough on the road , tell you all about it when i get home , coming round to meet you , the long way round

lyrics

lol

[sgtpepper1138]

@fipplepop123 Fun song to play on the Ukulele.

[Polybun]

OH SHIT, HE FIGURED OUT MY DARK SECRET. Sucks not being enlisted anymore... daily showers... having to smell nice... shaving.... terrible stuff.

[dovestones]

This first aired right before I went traveling around Central America. Got me right in the mood.

[conor293]

all a bit anal? i fucking knew they were gay

[harrygutterballs]

what a fucking excellent adventure!!!

[ManicMike26]

i love watching this because its like your there, i would love to do it im not old enough to ride a bike but the second i turn 16 im going to hop on my bike with my dad and drive everywhere you can possibly go

[TheeLazyWay]

Thanks for putting these up! And just saying, Eve looks gorgeous at the Star Wars premiere.

[southerndandy89]

long way south? from top of North America to the bottom of South America?

[TheIntense93]

I love Ewans mad moment @ 8:36 fucking crease up

[58Clams]

This is a grate show SBS is playing it again. What type of cameras did they use on there helmets?

[TheAmberMendez]

"those aren't pillows" lolz!

[TheAmberMendez]

I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!!!! i'm happy now :)

[jochenahuebener]

Thanks a lot, very impressive. I remember my trip aorund the world by motorcycle in 1995-96 ... you will never forget it. If you are interested ... see my 226 YouTube-Videos of adventurous travelling or my homepage motor-cycle-world-traveller.de

[TravelBanditUSA]

Charley and Ewan are the coolest cats alive!!

[CantLetTheAngelsDown]

Yea!Thanx 4 the upload mannnnn!! I love this show! nothin' like travelling, dude

[TesorinetheBest]

I hate Eve u.u

[adrian2004tgm]

Ewan's wife used her 3 utube accounts and clicked dislike

[TesorinetheBest]

@adrian2004tgm Ahahahahah ! I think the same thing xD

[kevman5]

@adrian2004tgm I actually laughed pretty hard at that

[DoNotClickUFreak]

google austin vince mondo enduro. makes these guys look like faggots. austin and 3 others did exactly the same route but longer on some old 350cc dirt bikes with £40 worth of luggage and NO support vehicle. ewan and charley consulted HIM for the journey. amatuers

[Riverboy1986]

@DoNotClickUFreak This is more or less about the journey than it about building a better foundation for their friendship. Dumbass.

[DoNotClickUFreak]

@Riverboy1986 what? who mentioned a better foundation for their friendship? im saying that these guys think they're so tough when people before them have done it on a tiny budget with crappy bikes and they give him no credit

[neothespian]

@DoNotClickUFreak This is about two AVERAGE guys doing something we all dream of. Who CARES how they do it. They make it entertaining to watch, and make you want to ride. You can compare dick sizes all day long on the internet and act like some badass without consequence. This is just enjoyable to watch and it's just inspiring, even if it isn't as hardcore as you think you want.

[ThisisJamesman]

@DoNotClickUFreak aww just enjoy the show, man. i've cycled to six countries alone & unsponsored, & i'm not bitching about them. if they can get sponsorship & partner with UNICEF 2 try & make the world a better place, kudos 2 them

[SOYTOYOTA]

best show ever this month. and to be honest, its even better than star wars

[SOYTOYOTA]

best show ever this month. and to be honest, its ven better than star wars

[SOYTOYOTA]

best show ever this month

[DJSexLeopard]

dude i used to like ewan mcgreggor. Until this show. Now I fucking love him!!! he is such a bad ass lol

[torres23q]

roflllllllll keeeep clicking 46 seconds see how he says his name roflll

[fishslayer25]

These guys are my heroes!!! What they've done is amazing!

[2001mark]

LWR & LWD are out of body reading & youtubing experiences... can't wait for LWU! Maybe Ring of Fire circumnavigate the Pacific? 

[2001mark]

Get me the fcuk out of London! :D

[Kustav]

oh wow.

Ive got the tv series dvd I think it is, and they've edited out quite a bit. Never seen that Australia part until now :|

[shcnoozlebop]

@Kustav nah i think you just forget they said "we're in australia, because ewan is filming starwars" probably the third time i saw it i was like oi they went to au? i didn't notice that...

[GemBob123]

Watching for the 3rd tme now. OMG. Never take these down. x x x

[neothespian]

@GemBob123 5th time :P

[TalDarkLeanMean]

Watching it for the 2nd time in a row. Finished watching LWD and Race to Dakar twice already. I think I'm addicted now. Well done kowaxkowax

[WEEDxSTAR]

my dream

[aquestintime]

.That's the dream

[06chippj]

Epic series

[tdj1974]

cheers for this series mate and The Long Way Down

[jstb0b]

their bromance is giving me diabetes

[quikvmax]

Best show I've seen in YEARS!!!!

[SniperxHiro]

Long Way Round is so much better than Long Way Down. LWD was great don't get me wrong but in my opinion, Eve ruined a fraction of the trip. LWR was much more epic.

[revolutions88]

ollys fitter then eave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StigRossi]

Just wanna let the production company that made LWR/D know that I bought the LWR show on DVD as well as the book and same for LWD (and will buy the next one), but I just enjoy having convenient access to the show on Youtube. Thanks kowax for posting!

[Goodness250]

I've never watched this series before. Is the whole series so much talking?  Blah, blah, blah...

[shcnoozlebop]

@Goodness250 in the beginning there's a lot of talking and you see them setting it up and finding the bikes for the ride and all... but they do heaps of shit once they get going

[Rilu666]

you should have gone to Spain!

[InFromTheVoid]

I freakin loved this show.........You gotta love Ewan, he's the ONLY guy in my book that looks good in skinny jeans lol (Train Spotting)

[parrotgirl87]

so much respect for these to guys i wish that i could do what they did!

[Monicaplay123]

"Sleep well, Charley."

*pause*

"Those are'nt pillows!"

Hahahahahaha :D xD

[wednesday92P]

wow, thanks dude. I really like this show, and it would be a pain to have to scour the web for vids. Thanks for putting it up! cheers.

[bfmv580]

Back for the 5th time to watch :)

[greyseagirl]

Just finished this book. Fantastic read. I caught a lot of this on Bravo, but I'm glad you posted these so I can catch what I missed. :)

[athena149]

[greyseagirl]

@FerryPerson It was Bravo. :)

[v0r0n0k]

[lletah]

Every french women are sluts

[bfmv580]

Im back again for a 4th time to watch this through :-) Last time it had like 60k views :-) Thanks again for posting.

[bellichka]

okay a completely random question for my fellow viewers - I can't remember if it's in Long Way Down or Long Way Round, but there is a part where David Alexanian has a beard, and it looks super hot. I saw it once and haven't been able to find it again.... any help? Haha thank you :)

[bellichka]

@bellichka nevermind, I found it! It's at the ~8 minute mark of 3-5. He is so dreamy >:)

[panfred1]

oha in gedanken bin....

[FRIVDSCH]

[clarity66]

[FRIVDSCH]

[NorthWriter]

What kind of bikes are those blue ones they ride? I thought I saw "Yamaha" on the seat of one...

[tattoojayjay]

@NorthWriter teneres i think.

[Scruffyman81]

"Those aren't pillows."

Planes, trains, and automobiles.

[slantyrock]

"1 in 10 movies you'll pick up a mate" i don't think charlie has even been in 10 films, lol.

[jordnsmner]

[jordnsmner]

[bfmv580]

[crossbones8956]

Did this even air in the US? Probably not - this is too good to be on our networks. I loved the book. TY for posting these vids.

[Supradrew]

Yes, It did air here in the states. On PBS though.

[AXPperdueKU]

[tomjd94]

[SKTPSY]

Olly is composed and so supportive and careful not to ruin the two men relationship, she uses 'we' despite Eve is about 'I'
