sweet... haven't seen the series in a few years.
Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.
Thanks for the heads up! I saw one of those here with the Ninja, can;t remember which. The one thru Russia? It was awesome! Can't wait to see the other one. Although, I'm kinda a candyass about living rough like that. It's a hell of an adventure, just not for me! I love watching it though and seeing the posts on ADVrider.

^^ Russia was the first one "Long Way Round". The second, "Long Way Down" was through Africa.
IMO, the first one was better. It was much more about two guys on an Epic adventure. The second one just felt rushed and lacked a lot of that "adventure" feeling.
Both were great shows, but I prefer the first one.
Also, rumor has it that they were planning "Long Way Up". South America up through North America. Haven't heard anything about it in a while though.
**edit** after some googling, the latest rumor is that the trip's going down Spring of 2011... here's to hoping.

+1 the second journey wasn't as "adventure" as the first.

I definatly enjoyed " 'round" more then "down". I also had a chuckle on the Bimmer vs KTM.

If you love something, set it free. If it comes back to you, you probably high sided.
The Long Way Round came first - England to New York going East
Then Race to Dakar (only Charlie, no Ewan)
Then Long Way Down - Scotland to the Southern tip of Africa
IMO, the Race to Dakar was the most fun to watch. It was also the most emotionally charged series. Ewan tends to be a bit of a camera pig and sometimes he got in the way of the adventures. His wife also really soured the second trip.
I have all of them on DVD if anyone wants to borrow them.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
wish I'd read this yesterday afternoon...

Agreed. Road to Dakar was really good. A little slow on the start (aren't they all) but turned out giving a really good idea about the race. And Charley was kind of whiny in the beginning though, too.
BTW: it would have been awesome if they had ridden KTM 950 Adventures!!!!
Charlie goes from mega pussy to respectable in that series. Dakar was good tho, Lindsey was HOOKED!

They are all lined up in front of me at my computer. I plan on watching all of them today and tomorrow
I MAY have to make some archival backups of each one for posterior sake.

Current is replaying this all week. The episodes will be on every Tues night. I have something better to watch now rather than The Biggest Loser. LOL

And it never hurts to have multiple redundancy backups, just sayin.

We were in South Africa a couple weeks ago and met two french guys putting Ewan to shame (we were at a tiny shop in a nowhere village in Lesotho). ride-the-world.net has their stories and pictures of their 'hard way around' on a couple KTMs with no support crew. They are nearly finished with Africa and about to fly to Argentina to do South America and should be in Colorado in 10-12 months when they might stay with us.
Just set the DVR. Replaying the last episode in 45 minutes.

"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."
