True, they didnt invent overlanding and i dont think they ever claimed to.
Through their "long way round" and in the book they quote and aspire to great overlanders like Ted Simon.
Sure there heavily sponsered and got allot more help then we would (or like too) but that was part and parcel of their sponsership and charity work.
In my eyes they have opened up allot of peoples eyes to motorcycle touring and biker friendlyness (is that a word lol), so good on em.
I hear Ewan and Jude Law (quote MCN) are planning to do a South American Adventure next and Charlie boreman is doing the Paris Dakaa.
keep going fellas
