Long Way Up!


XTreme

Recommended Posts

Starts airing in two weeks time.....on Apple TV! WTF is that?

I enjoyed the previous two........no idea why some people give them (mostly Charley Boorman) stick for it!

It was good entertainment, and a huge boost for the motorcycle industry in general.

But this one on Apple TV? How are mainstream audiences supposed to see it?

I am a big fan of Ewan McGregor and the way he likes to tour on motorcycles, not really looking for the hardest offroad but still looking to go off the beaten path, I like that.

I think people gave Boorman stick for the shows because he really is quite annoying on tv.

Bet Itchy Boots has better ratings. :littleguy:

Most likely......but her latest trip on the Honda is a bit annoying, maybe I have just seen her too much.  It is getting better now that she is on that Honda, but everywhere I went when I first had my Himalayan.....people be like.... "ohhhh you MUST watch Itchy Boots"......  I be like, "ya no shit".  It was about as bad as when I was little, people be like "ohhhh your name is Michelle, have you heard that Beatles song, here let me sing it for you"....and I be like, "shut the hell up"  ?

ok, I feel better, venting done..... ?  I think I'll watch Long Way Up, the quality looks great ?

If i get a chance i'll be watching it. Travelling on a bike whats not to like, you can keep your track racing on or off road it does nothing for me. We only have the motorbike show here i'll watch it even though Henry Cole does my head in 
A sample

ItchyBoots has ridden a lot, but still I can't watch more than 10 minutes of her videos, her voice annoys the crap out of me and the dutch sense of humor isn´t for me. Also, it seems too "youtuber" for me.

Because it's a pair of rich men flouncing about with crews, support vehicles and paying for nothing. They don't represent me or how I like to travel - it's just dull.

I want to see a series where Bike's Dan Whateverhisnamewas goes around the world on an XT, taking shedloads of drugs, getting into fights, and being arrested. That's my kind of TV. His book was great.

Dan Walsh! What a fucking nutter he was! Is he still about?

Last I was aware, he was still in South or Central America - I was kinda hoping I'd bump into him when we lived there...but I managed to meet a whole load of far more outlandish characters ?

Looks like he's settled down now and living in Manchester!
