Curate's Egg!
I feel that LWR was a bit of a Curate's Egg ie. good in parts. On the up side it did open up the idea of long distance motorcycle travel to the previously unconverted and showed what can be done with perseverance.
However, the two things that got my goat were:-
1) The way Boorman spat the dummy and bleated "How DARE they?!" when KTM withdrew their offer of free bikes! With the money these guys have, why not buy the bikes they wanted in the first place.
2) Apart from flying Ted Simon in to Mongolia for a two minute chat, they never mentioned the fact that lots of people are doing this sort of trip all the time, and mortgaging their souls to do it!!!
That's my two-pennurth anyway.
Derek.
