Well, just watching the compliation DVD of long way round, its briliant. Aare all men into this and is Charlie borman an Irshman or an englishman? He reckons the lattter sadly

AARRRGH · 24-10-2009 12:04am

Yeah, every lad wants to do everything by any means, whether this means raping or pillaging, we're on for it.

...

Wha?!

MotteDai · 24-10-2009 12:08am

Hardly both, im just asking about the main thing man.. is there a biker man out there to advise

krudler · 24-10-2009 12:08am

What as in cast off the 9 to 5 thing, get a bike and head off into the sunset with nothing but a map and your wits to get you across a contintent, damn right every man wants to do that

That_Guy · 24-10-2009 12:09am

I don't think all men want to travel around with Ewan McGregor tbh. Whatever you're into though mate.

o1s1n · 24-10-2009 12:09am

Can't feckin stand that show. It's just Ewan Mc gregor moaning for an hour.

That's the one with Ewan McGregor?
If so, yeah; i'm sure you'd get plenty of lads who'd be willing to make a Tv show along those lines.
Charlie Boorman is the son of esteemed film director John Boorman; his dad used to reside here and think Charlie was born in Ireland, though not sure.
John Boorman, by the way, directed Deliverance; so you'd think his son would be wary of embarking on adventures off the beaten track.
Not so, obviously; probably a classic case of rebellion.
Then again, if Burt Reynolds and the lads had the weight of the BBC behind them they probably would have been OK.

Senna · 24-10-2009 12:14am

Wouldn't mind travelling the world, but in a car not on a bike.

I always think of biker as people who haven't realised cars have been invented

dr.bollocko · 24-10-2009 12:16am

If I ever got the opportunity to do what those ungrateful bastards did I would wake up every morning with a smile on my face.
BTW some mod of AH should probably move this to the appropriate forum or some crap.

K-Ren · 24-10-2009 12:17am

Long Way Round was cool, Long Way Down was well naff.

Ghost Train · 24-10-2009 12:18am

wouldn't mind some sort of big adventure, not on a bike though, more likely a boat

this from a person with a picture of a bike helmet as his avatar. tut .... fucking ... tut

and i know you'll probably come back with some shite along the lines of 'but, but its a car helmet!'

to which i'll reply 'you're a car helmet'

By any means.... is it waht most lads want to do?

is it just me but did anyone read that thread title and think anal sex?

seanybiker · 24-10-2009 2:13am

Would love to do something like that alright. Without the camera crew and backup jeeps though. Id love to do it like me man on the R1 done when he went around the world, except on me gsxr

high horse · 24-10-2009 2:21am

Those bike were seriously impressive though. When the stupid kid in a civic crashes into the back of Ewan McGregor's bike, I couldn't believe the car came off worst! I gottaa get me one of those bikes! :cool:

I thought it was about feeling rapey

Holsten · 24-10-2009 12:42pm

I'd love to do it anyway.

Who wouldn't, travelling around the word, Charlie is a very lucky man.

phasers · 24-10-2009 12:47pm

I saw a sketch on Comedy Central about this called "Ewan and Thingy", it was prety good, summed up my feelings about the show anyway

I enjoyed the long way round and yes its something i would love to do.

but the long way down was a different matter...it started out great but at the very end ewan brought his wife along and charlie got left alone to go his own way.

very disappionting end to a great show. made ewan look like he could not do anything without the wife to hold his hand.

poor charlie looked really fed up.

By any means.... is it waht most lads want to do?
