Charlie's and Ewan's adventures sparked my wife's question, "want to ride a motorcycle from Dharamsala to Ladakh together?" We never looked back and we had an amazing adventure on a 500cc Royal Enfield Bullet. Thank you for sharing, Ride Free

It was really challenging trip... for the staff in all these land rovers around them.

Gah I love listening to these two reminisce. I met Charley quite a number of years ago at the Perth (Oz) motorbike show. I had a bunch of questions lined up and all I could manage to get out was "hi" 😅 Hope Charley can get back to Australia one day and would love to go for a ride

** also I was in London last year (apart of a trip around europe) and on my list of things to do was visit the old workshop where Ewan and Charley set off from thinking 20 years would be coming up soon.

No I can not believe it has been 20 years!!! Wow. Still of the most amazing travel put to film in my opinion. I have a picture of them on the Road of Bones in front of the tipped over truck on my cube and I have explained it to dozens of people when they ask is that you.

Thank you Charlie for sparking my interest in adventure riding. I own a R1250GS Adventure and it’s my favorite so far. I’ll wait for the Adventure version of the 1300 to consider a move.

See you at the show Charlie.

Hi Mr Boorman, saw you at the MCN Show, Friday. Quick heads up, just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't understand Electrical Vehicles! Teeny bit ageist!

Hey Charley, thanks for the memories of the miles. I hadn't seen LWA when I had my Alaska trip in '06, but had heard of it. I did 12k miles, KY to AK, back across Canada to VT,(where the BMWMOA National was held that year) in a 30 day trip. Had to average 500 mile days as I had 6 days off the bike. Biggest adventure of my life. Would have been nice to share it with a mate, instead of doing it solo. Rode a BMW K75 RT with 70K miles when I started out. I feel very lucky to have been able to make that trip, many riders want to go to AK and never get to do it. And say hey to Ewan for me.

I used to have the Long Way Round on DVD and watched it every time I needed a pick-me-up. Then I leant it to someone and haven’t seen it since, and I can’t remember who borrowed it. I must get myself another copy or find where I can stream it.

Charley is on my Mt Rushmore along with Evel Knievel and Steve McQueen. Ride safe Charley!

Great stuff Charley! Ewan and his daughter were just on Jimmy Kimmel’s show this week.

Must be time for Charley and Russ to do another adventure. By Any Means and Race to Dakar have been my favorites.

aaah remember the SONIC stickers, i think those were the camera equipment back then where they had to stick the cameras on their lenses, and it had wires on them! now you can get an action camera like a gopro and be done with it!

20mph down the embankment and through london..... that must be exciting

Claudio was the cameraman, presumably? The biggest unsung hero of the series!

@tnetroP 10 ай бұрын

Yes he was.

@239dmw 10 ай бұрын

And he did the same route on that trashy little bike they picked up when his fritzed out.

@MrB1967 10 ай бұрын

And he had to get his test passed just before they set off.. Crazy Swiss guy...

@flyingdutchy01 10 ай бұрын

Would you take a gs1300 around the world? I mean it's an amazing bike but do you think it's still rugged enough?

@NorCalSaint 10 ай бұрын

Not the 719 option he was riding because I don't even think you can order that one with crash bars.

@johnnyblaze716 10 ай бұрын

Calm down Russ! 😂

Amazing how they have become great friends since then. Who would've have won fight. 😄

In the show, if I remember correctly, Charley talks about laughing at themselves going around the world in 20 years time. I first watched it in 2012, knowing it was filmed in 2004, thinking about what my life will be like in 2024 when I'm 30. It's shit in case anyone's wondering.

@1990-t1j 10 ай бұрын

Don't you wish KTM had given you a 950 Adventure, Charley? I had one for three days short of two years between 2005 and 2007, then someone pulled out in front of me in Essex, and it was written off. So I went back to my 1996 R1100GS after I recovered. I enjoyed the book. Nick

I've ridden motorcycles for 45 years and bikers have generally had a bad name in the UK. What Charlie & Ewan did was bring it to the general population to see bikers aren't all Hells Angles and we have seen more people buy bikes off the back of it. More people tour Europe and the UK. Ive always toured so its good to see the increase, but there is some ridders who are arrogant, and generaly being nobs, these are the GS riders, GS this GS that, we've being doing it long before it came to light, and its not the only good bike out there, and the need to spend thousands on extras you dont need, i call the Catalogue Bikers, they look stupid trying to be cool. Grow up..
