Yamaha XTZ 660 Tenere - Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman Long Way Round

http://www.FreedomOn2Wheels.com/updates
This is the Tenere that world renowned actor Ewan McGregor (seen in Star Wars, Miss Potter, Down With Love, Big Fish, Trainspotting, Moulin Rouge and many more) was riding for a week in Australia. He came to see what it's like to ride side by side with his friend Charley Boorman before they set off together for one of their motorcycle adventures called "Long Way Round" (2004).

I bought this bike from a bike rental in Sydney not long after they finished their trip on two Teneres here "Down Under". I had it freshly resprayed and because I prefer bikes without stickers I didn't put any back on.

Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman followed the success of their adventures in Long Way Round with another TV series called "Long Way Down" (2007), supporting charity projects worldwide (UNICEF) on their way. Thank you guys and keep inspiring.

It's not the rider. It's the bike. :o) This is the Tenere that Ewan rode when he came to Australia to see how he would get on with Charlie while doing planned Long Way Round.

Hi Simon. Thanks for your comment. The tent is really good. It sleeps 3 people. 2 people with all the comfort. Its silver color reflects the heat. It has one canope compartment on each end. Two entries. I got it given by a friend who left Australia. He bought it somewhere in Sydney. Hope you find the one you like.

I like your tent. Small for biking but yet it has the canope compartment at the front which is great for hiding your boots and shit that you dont wanna drag into the tent. Where did you get it? Do you like it?
