Hey, nothing wrong with being inspired by a huge budget trip. Who would fault anyone for trying to emulate some of the Paris-Dakar rally? I'll bet that the average competitor spends as much on that trip as the boys spent going around the world. (Of course we'll find out when Charlie's P-D adventure debuts!) Even though they spent big bucks (not their own) they did actually ride the motorcycles around the world and that's the point isn't?
I enjoyed watching LWR and still don't mind popping it into the machine when I'm on the tread mill. Doing a trip to Cape Town is good by me as long as the video is available before we start our trip in 2007. :-)
