What really struck me about the docu was just how kind Ewan Mcgregor was as a human being. No airs of a Hollywood superstar. Looked after Charlie both physically and emotionally like a true friend would. Very charming dude.

This is how I fell in love with a McGregor

Long Way Round, Long Way Down and now Long Way Up. Two weekends full of great motorcycle vidio's.

I LOVED this series - from Round, Down to Up! But, what I’m really hoping for now is a music album from Ewan McGregor where he sings acoustic. He has a lovely voice.

both downright top blokes ,the executive at KTM who knocked em back is probably frying burgers,the executive at BMW who helped em out probably lives in his own bavarian castle now

Oi😂

I've just read the book The Long Way Round and I am in awe of what they achieved. I just didn't want the book or the trip to end! It's entirely their fault that my huband and I bought two GS1200 BMW Adventure bikes and experienced the bliss of riding them. We watched The Long Way Down too and found their adventure amazing. I am now on a quest for Charley's book, Race to Dakar, an early Christmas present to myself.

ewan and charley are both such cool guys especially ewan he is a movie star but he seems like such a regular guy very cool. :-)

Great trip

KTM ! yeah bad choice! They should have talked with Roger DeCoster, he would have backed them. Who ever at KTM let that one down probably gets an ear full daily.

It's the doing it that counts, not the how.

People piling on KTM, you should recognize that the KTM guy was right: alone, they couldn't have done it. They managed to get through Mongolia and the Road of Bones only thanks to extensive effort from the crew, including local resources.

They need to do another trip.

Love it so much

It took me two months to find out who are (where) the two guys who drove around the World on their Motorbikes. The TV series I followed from the beginning through the end. Well, they were Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman In "𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝" I'm looking for the last one..? (episode) Driving downtown, you come home and the whole town is riding with you. It was fantastic to see

All respect to both gents. However the trick is to do these trips without a support crew and more respect to those who do that. In most instances on their own. I humbly bow to them.

"Do you think it might hurt?" "I think it probably will. I'm paying you back for the last two Star Wars movies." LMAO

I dig the KTM Adventures, but I think they are more of a Dakar type racer, or close to home adventure bike, as they have chain drive, more difficult to access engine. Love to have both, but I can only afford one adventure bike and I also want it as a long distance, easy to maintain all arounder.

I bet KTM regrets backing out on letting you guys use there bikes now. My next bike purchase was going to be a KTM but now its going to be a BMW because your ride shows just how good the BMW's are. Please don't use KTM on your next ride even if they offer you a hundred bikes.

The fact that Claudio preferred his $1000 Russian bike to the BMW does not support your position. I think they'd have done a lot better with lighter bikes.

The company that makes that motorcycle airbag probably went under shortly after the airing of this show.

Must be first person in history to have a cows ball 😂 or did I hear that wrong

As much as I loved the whole Adventure, they were alone, out there in no man’s land, struggling with the elements... and two crew cars with all the supplies in the world. When I did my sojourns thru the Philippines and Indonesia it was - me - just me and my luggage and camera gear... had I disappeared no one would have ever known.

Respect to you man, but to be fair, they tried very hard to never involve the crew - which they seem to have managed pretty successfully until they hit the Mongolian hellscape. From there to Alaska I agree that it was less of a solo biking adventure and more of a generic survivalist tv program.

Charly gets props! Ewan? Eh, man-up-picture boy (but what can you expect from a dick who dumped his wife and kids for the latest update actress?) Honestly, knowing you have all the gear at your fingertips is a hell of a lot more than knowing there is nothing behind you… or just are oblivious (both in my case… wouldn’t do it now!) But they did seem to play out in Mexico where he celebrity status was inviting the possibility of kidnapping… from now on… all adventures are will be on set with millions of insurance to protect cutie-pie from getting his face wreck… 😏
