A few years back 'Long Way Up' was penciled in as Tierra del Fuego to Alaska.
I welcome another trip; by humanising those behind the Darth Vader helmets it changed forever the general public's perception that bikers were thugs. Similar comment for Hairy Bikers.
Yes, it would be nice if the filming was a bit more honest but that's TV for you. Don't really care which marque of bike they ride.

Totally agree! Many moons ago when I did my second trip around the world(not on a bike) I was in Bali. I was reading entries in a guest book made by so called travelers slating people who went to Kuta because it was “so touristy”. They thought that they were somehow elitist because they chose a different way of travelling. Can we all say that we wouldn’t stay in 5 star hotels, consoling ourselves with the fact that it’s all about the riding not where we sleep. If you want to wild camp and rough it I take my hat off to you. I’ve washed clothes in a river with a crowd watching which I loved at the time. I wouldn’t knock someone for using a laundry service though as it’s their choice. Don’t knock someone for doing it the easy way applaud them for doing it at all. Love them or hate them they have inspired others to travel by motorbike doing it in their own ways.
I learned that everyone has something they can tell you that will help you, you just have to find out what it is.
All of the above is just my humble opinion
