Buy one of these and you can look a proper Charley hey?
It's funny, when Long Way Round came out I thought great, I didn't feel any of that resentment some people have expressed about two w**kers going round the world on bikes, and freebies and ... well all that.
But this time round, from Looking at the BBC site it all just seems a bit, big, a bit over planned a bit too much "Look at us, we're cool, on bikes". I notice the suppurt vehicles are covered in Long Way Down logos too.
It's seems a mile of the Long Way Round supposed ideal of travelling through unnoticed just meeting the people. Last time round it seemed to be two mates loving bikes, travelling, this time round it seems more like two professionals seeing another money making opportunity.
Can't wait for "Long Way Up" though, Ewan and Charley ride their BMWs up Mount Everest.
