to : the one who deleted ewan :

did you get your money back for the book and the video etc ... ?
or what is because of black mail, psychological pressures, conspiracy (as simmo writes) ?
or capitalist agreement ?

coming next : new episode soon :-)

any ideas are welcome, no banning on the HUBB, just joking grant :-)

nota bene : i suppose i always can delete this post.

Still waiting to find out what happened to the long thread on E=MC2. Could removal culprit please own up. I want the links I posted on the Kazakstan press. Foolishly expected them to remain on this board.

Just saw part 1 of the dvd that came with a freinds Bike mag......I am gobsmaked, are aspirational english into that..I am beginning to think its all just a bit sad. Could have bought the KTMs on his credit card!!!!

Now this could be a total pile of guff, but I was told the real reason KTM backed out was cos Ewan and Charlie wanted free bikes AND 250 grand for the advertising? BMW were happy to pay (and probably more financially astute) and so they used Beamers. I am more than willing to accept this is lies from the anti Ewan mob. Does anyone know more?

So that leaves moderators or original poster only...

Just to confirm that I did not delete it so that rules out the moderator.

Cant say that he or his mate Charlie was an interest of ours... but since we arrived in Europe and now the UK I am so sick of english people we meet in camping grounds telling me I should read 'the book'.Like we have only ridden from Aus to Uk (twice) so dont really know what we are doing and the 'the book' would be helpful to us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
seems the poms think those two are the only mtorcyclists in the world who have ever ridden in an adventure.rather proves it is not a good product that sells best... but good advertising.
