It's about 900 miles from London to Italy. I don't think he's ridden it much since Smile

haha!

Good spot. Having said that, I do like the look of the thing.

And I hope it does well for UNICEF.

I know he's a bit of a twat but at least he's rolling on 2 wheels and he does some decent stuff for the world - i mean, nice to know that not all famous people are like paris hilton, for example.

I'm confused.

If he wants to donate, why doesn't the very wealthy Ewan McGregor just give £ X thousand.00 to Unicef on the quiet?

Because that wouldn't raise any awareness.

Plus he's giving away his personal posession which, in theory, is worth more to others than it is to him (in money terms)

Giving cash is very brash IMO

I, too, smell something fishy, and it's not a kipper.

Tis a pic of him at the factory in Stelvio when he went to pick the bike up.
Could even be one from the long way round/down when they poped in for a visit.

Price/availability: £8,999 on the road (Classic, £7,999; Touring, £8,199).

Wonder what else you will get to make the fact its double the price worthwhile.
Yes i know its a good cause, but........
