This time, to make it interesting, Ewan’s wife came along for the ride and completely threw out the dynamic of the best pals. Good for them.Ī few years later, they did it again on 1200 GSs when they rode from London to Cape Town for Long Way Down. They were criticized for not facing the same challenges as regular bike travellers, thanks to their support crew and generous budget, but they single-handedly made the big GS into BMW’s best-selling motorcycle. Like most of us, I loved the first journey they made together back in 2004 for Long Way Round, when they rode BMW 1150 GS adventure tourers from London to New York via Siberia. I just bought myself a new iPhone that came complete with a year’s free subscription to the streaming service, which is why I caught up with them now. They completed the journey in late 2019 and the series was released last fall on Apple TV. And to make it interesting, they’re riding electric Harley-Davidson Livewires. For this trip, they’re riding from Ushuaia at the tip of South America to Los Angeles, some 20,000 kilometres. Watch the first two-thirds because it’s good entertainment with stunning scenery, as actors Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman reunite for the third time to ride motorcycles across the globe. Save yourself 11 hours of your life.Īctually, scratch that. Have you seen Long Way Up yet? If not, take my advice and don’t bother.
