Long Way Down December 3, 2007
Posted by tony in : Hobbies, Recreation , trackbackSo, I’ve been interested in motorcycles for a while now. I’ve become pretty partial to BMW as a brand choice…. not sure why, maybe just my first experiences have been so good. So, I subscribe to the ibmwr.org mailing list and found out about this interesting motorcycle adventure. It features Ewan McGregor (of Obi-Wan Kenobi fame) and Charlie Boorman (not sure who he is, but he’s very entertaining) and a 15k-mile (give or take) motorcycle ride from the north of Scotland to the tip of Africa near Capetown, South Africa. Of course, there’s a supporting cast including cameramen, a medic, producers, helpers, etc. But, I’ve very much enjoyed the series (thanks to Bittorrent. We don’t get BBC in the US). But, I’ve asked my wife for a pre-order of the DVD and maybe a T-shirt for Xmas. Did you read that media companies? Good programming I’ve obtained for free and I still want to buy? It’s awesome compared to the absolute drivel on TV here in the US.
