Theres a big hole in my weekly viewing schedule as of tonight; the last episode of "Long Way Round", the T.V. programme featuring Ewan Magregor and Charley Boorman making their way from london to New York via Western Europe, Russia, Ukraine, Mongolia, the "Road of Bones", Alaska, Canada and various states across the USA. What a great programme that was! The book and DVD are definitely on my Xmas list; as for emulating the boys little trip, it could be a struggle fitting it in around the kids after school activities (Let me think, how far could I get on a road trip and get back in time for swim team?) I can dream though.
One thing I did notice on the last episode though; when the boys visited Orange County Choppers, was it me or did the Teutels seem awfully quiet? Mind you I think anyone is entitled to be a little starstruck in the presence of a Jedi Master, what do you think?
The BMW bikes really performed on the trip desipte being patched up at various stages along the way. mind you I thought the boys did overload them just a little... I thought they were gonna produce the kitchen sink out of one of those side panniers, they seemed to have everything else on there!
So what do I fill the void with? Dont tell me I have to watch re runs of the GreatBiker Build Off again.....
I suppose I could update my website a little, Motorcycle Parts Accessories, and More, but it doesnt quite have the same attraction as watching Ewan trying to pick up his motorcycle after dropping for the twentieth time on his trek through Mongolia....
What comes after "Long Way Round"?
